Game Day Round 1, 2024 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[Elixuh]

We are only down by 18, but I’m not sure how we are going to win enough ball out of the middle

If this continues a down year may end up being a blessing in disguise. Keeping up the intensity year after year has ground the boys down I feel. An off year and come back refreshed in '25

Bruv it’s round 1 lol

 

[Toffee Lion]

Na. It’s round two.

I get this, I really do. Coupled with some injuries, it's easy to play devils advocate.

Just have that gut feel based off what I've seen so far, which is a lot of the same issues still plaguing us after many years.

I've enjoyed our time in the sun, I expect we'll still be a team who factors into the conversation for years to come but I believe to win the flag, we'll need a re-jig. For positivity sake, I expect to see us win a flag with the Ashcroft boys and the key leftovers of this current roster in a few years.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Doesn't look like we have anyone to turn the momentum in the middle

Reality is we don’t

 

[SpecialBruce]

Very important match today. If we lose then the Collingwood match will be season defining for both teams as there would be a good chance Collingwood enter it winless too

 

[lionsrules]

Mental peas. Most under achieving group of talent the afl has ever seen.

You don't think the Suns make the GF!!?!?!

 

[SpecialBruce]

clear coaching issue. Nothing has changed with the gameplan which is just relying on individual talent to win.

Can't wait for Fages to read the stat sheet in the press conference that justifies the loss. It's a gameplan issue just like the past 5 years

 

[Hollow Knight]

That’s exactly it. We don’t have the midfield quality today to dig us out of this hole.

 

[deklares]

That is a 7 goal run to the Dockers, how many was the Blues last week.... did that big a run of goals happen at all in 2023 let alone in 2 games straight.

We are fumbling a lot.
O is a class behind Jackson.
Is Charlie playing, terribly out of form, Dunkley as well.
I think we have the mother of all GF loss hangovers.

It is not season over (or game over)but the signs are not good.

Not sure what Charlie can do when the ball's coming into the forward 50 so terribly

I didn't book cause kid had commitments we need to be here for.

Not feeling like it's going to be an issue.

 

[Elixuh]

Bad thing is I took serong out of my SC team

 

[Nathan Barley]

Who was the journo that said our midfield was too nice?

 

[acuguy]

Rayner and Berry would want to do something this quarter.

If this continues a down year may end up being a blessing in disguise. Keeping up the intensity year after year has ground the boys down I feel. An off year and come back refreshed in '25

And hopefully LAshcroft and the other kid who I can't think of right now as a bit of inside mid enforcement. Goodness me we need inside mid reinforcement.

We might even finish low enough that we get another player before LAshcroft

AND, as all true Lions only worry about - win draft night!

 

[wantok]

New coach desperately required.

Not the Coach. Totally on the players.

I did post a few days ago that you never know, we might look back in a decade and 2023 will be seen as the best chance this core group of players ever had to win a flag.... I hope not.

 

[BRAB]

You don't think the Suns make the GF!!?!?!

They get to play us twice so that could help them lock in top 4. Maybe I should hang on to the tickets

It's on both.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

I'd be putting Berry in the midfield.

 

[Toffee Lion]

What keeps me up at night is watching Will & Levi running around next year.

Cannot wait.

 

[Gadzorks]

Pies and us. Just flat. Have energy in the first but totally depleted after that.

Maybe the long finals and early season start are the true competition equalizer.

 

[Scubaveg]

I'd be putting Berry in the midfield.

So he can bomb it long and miss targets?
