Game Day Round 14, 2017 - Brisbane Lions vs. GWS

[kylegee28]

Really? They have lost almost every one on one and looked disorganised structurally IMO. Not much pressure on the ball carrier once it goes to ground either.

Pretty hard to defend when there's no pressure on the ball carrier up the ground.

 

[Harris Specter]

Reality check:
Top versus bottom.
AFL lovechild versus AFL indifference.

Yep just great how many concessions they've been handed. Despite all the talent they've lost, still a threat 5 years down the line while we get compromised drafts.

 

[BRAB]

Are you 12 years old?

Yes.

 

[jumpstart]

Would I be delusional in thinking "The Miracle On Grass Part Deux". Or just certfiable.

Pretty hard to defend when there's no pressure on the ball carrier up the ground.

I50 count lopsided plus their A-Grade forward line would make a lot of back lines look ordinary.

Just getting beaten by a better team. This is a top 4 team v 18th. They have pace all over the ground, and we always get done by pace. Have been able to just break a line, run 20m then kick it 50m out the back on us all night.

We dont have the maturity or experience to be able to slow the game down and take the sting out. When we get a sniff we go ok, but we struggle to wrestle back momentum.

Boys are running out of gas now too.

 

[carnthemlions]

Or just go back to Basketball maybe...I dont know, I dont think hes got enough to make it.

Why would you even go to the effort of posting this? He's a young ruckman in his 7th game. Plenty to work with there.

Not going to drop my lollies, going to keep perspective on where we are at etc. But given what we have built over the last 2 weeks, this is a fairly poor performance. These Guys are very beatable.

Its just the shoulder shrugging, finger pointing, lazy checking etc. All those bad habits come out once we are under pressure.

we can never build form for longer than a week or two at a time, there's always an 80 point flogging just around the corner.

Smith is a serious Liability out there tonight, actually killing us.

Clugg and berry continue to show class.

Zorko needs to stop playing for freekicks every contest he is in, it's embarrassing.

Shame about Beams, he will never play more than half a season of Footy.

I'm not sure about that. GWS should've done this to half the teams they've played this year tbh, even with all their injuries they've been fairly complacent and kept a lot of their opponents in games that should've been blowouts.

 

[deklares]

People need to remember we are basically expansion side aged missing MRobbo, Beams and Bundy playing odds on grand finalists.

 

[SizeMatters]

How has Skinner been? Gardiner is in need of a rest.

 

[jackess]

McStay going forward has ruined our back line.

 

[Jivlain]

Well done to that weirdo in the crowd, that's how ya do it

 

[Back2Back2Back]

McClug should've played that much better. Will get that with age.

 

[BRAB]

Matho barley been sighted in the second half

 

[jackess]

I think we're playing the same gameplan the Giants have been much better with and without the footy though.

 

[deklares]

McClug should've played that much better. Will get that with age.

I've liked his game. Confidence looks to be growing.

 

[briztoon]

Just got home and forgot to put the game on record.

Any positives?

How have the kids looked?

 

[lioninthesand]

Lol loving the 'fake defensive effort running' going on.

Hope you enjoyed that 2 weeks people, now we shall return to 80 point flogging for the rest of the year.

 

[Jivlain]

Matho barley been sighted in the second half

Probably near exhaustion, had to shoulder a lot more today

 

[drapes11]

Archie is so lost it isn't funny

 

[jackess]

What was Barrett doing there?

Had to run to the defensive side. Lazy and dumb.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

I've liked his game. Confidence looks to be growing.

Me too. He's backing himself and taking the game on, which is exactly what he did then too. Just needs to realise there's a time for that and sometimes there's a time for lowering the eyes and playing smarter.

But at this point of the game I'm questioning just how much talk there is out there, he may not have been aware of just how much time he really had.

 

[deklares]

Good mark and goal McStay but don't understand why he's playing forward now.

 

[BRAB]

Not using pick 1 on Ballenden Lynch

 

[iBeng]

My prediction of 150+ to 60 odd is looking about right.

Zorko and Cutler have provided zero of their normal run and the rest of our players are plodders at best.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Not a hold on Cutler from Shaw? Completely dragged him off the ball....
