Review Round 1, 2025 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

[Tom14]

First reverse Xscore pisser of the season

 

[martinson]

Kai really the only long-term injury out of this game I believe? Starce will obviously miss at least a week, Charlie should be back next week and guys who went off eventually came back on.

Cal didn't look too flash. Maybe a bit of cramp at the end.

 

[Nathan Barley]

That footage of Lohmann in a moon boot has immediately deflated the mood from that win.

Bugger me...

I think you get a moon boot for a broken toe nail these days

Regardless it really doesn't look good

 

[Beware The Wounded Lion]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the club considers Starc's long-term health after that. The contact was minimal

 

[martinson]

Massive gutsy win in a team that had everything set up for them to beat us.

Dunkley is such a star. Thought Berry was influential. Zorko is still a star at either end. Bailey is a better small forward and honestly tempted to play him forward more.

I thought Oscar really lifted when the chips were down.

 

[Nunez]

. One less game
. Trained on grass twice in two weeks
. Charlie late out
. Lohmann down early
. Starce concussion
. 3 guys limping on field
. At one point have 1 on the bench

To win that is why this is a champion team, not a team of champions. Pure grit.

Maybe. I agree it is a cautionary thing but I imagine he's definitely done some kind of damage.

We just have to wait to see the extent of it.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Went for Cal for a few big contests in the second half, Will stepped up with Lachie tagged out, Dunks BOG, very influential, Zorkos 2 goals were critical and a smart move to get him up the ground after a poor game and Bailey for his 4 goals, had a ripping game.

 

[Saucery]

Just so stoked that we now back ourselves in red time rather than trying to save games, there is no doubt they believe.

On another note, loved the way Fages smashed the crap out of his chewy and looked like his dog had died as he walked out onto the field at the end, no easy early season ticks there.

Or that it isn't his own decision... With 3 concussions in 11 games there may be even be pressure from higher up for a longer term break.

And to be honest I'd be ok with that.

Yeah I didn't like it.

At the very least some games off .

 

[luthor]

Not a pretty game but a gutsy, gutsy win.

Our skills looked rusty as hell but we just willed our way over the line.

I think we have huge upside with a game (and a win) under our belts.

Injuries a concern.

Kai down early, Starc concussed again and Cal looking proppy.

Sydney must be wondering what they have to do to beat us They threw the kitchen sink at us, had us on the ropes early but still couldn't find a way to be in front of us when the bell went.

Very proud to be a Lions tragic tonight.

Right up against it and got over the line nonetheless. We can legit take a lot from that.

 

[Tom14]

Yeah I didn't like it.

At the very least some games off .

No point pre-empting medical tests at this stage but no issue if they are very, very cautious. Put him on ice until gather round if you have to.

No Joe, no Charlie, no Kai, a hobbled Ah Chee? No problems. Scary.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Jordan Lewis must be disappointed

Devastated

 

[Nathan Barley]

First reverse Xscore pisser of the season

Had 8 less inside 50s as well, didn't get many goals from clearances or defensive transition, if any

Forwards did a great job to capitalise on not a lot going their way

 

[Mr Ripper]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the club considers Starc's long-term health after that. The contact was minimal

Yeah there were shades of Paddy McCartin in the way B went down. Concerning.

 

[morsie]

Great win but I think half the team is jnjured

 

[Nunez]

No Joe, no Charlie, no Kai, a hobbled Ah Chee? No problems. Scary.

Neale 10 touches for the game - none in the second and 4 in the second half.

That is how deep our midfield bats.

Hugh, Dunks, Bailey, Motty & Zorko my 5.

 

[Donald Trump]

Following on from his grand final, I thought Amartey was very good for us.

 

[morsie]

Devastated

Who cares.No interest in anything that sniper says.Wouldnt give him the joy of getting angry with him

 

[Nathan Barley]

Following on from his grand final, I thought Amartey was very good for us.

He actually played well. Broke even with Fort in the ruck and Andrews didn't have an intercept mark

[Section 5]

No trouble at my house. Check your internet speed, and if you’ve got kids, check they not backing up their bloody PlayStation like mine was last night!

My Kayo was also rubbish. The close up appear to be okay but anything further away it appears to have a slight shudder.
Pretty hard to follow properly actually. My daughter with younger eyes was of the same opinion.

I checked my speed. It was 52 download and 19 upload while running Kayo on HD, and i am the only one in the house.
The same on Thursday and Friday night although i found that broadcast slightly better.
Lucky i only have 3 Saturday Lions games to go but that's 2 months subscription.

Kayo is rubbish.
