Game Day Round 15, 2022 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[Scubaveg]

No. You can't throw in the towel.

They are getting outplayed, but their still out there playing their hearts out.

They need you dude.

No they’re not. They gave up.

at least Lyons out will now force a midfield shake up whether for better or worse

 

[Nathan Barley]

Would like to see Fort replace Oscar and give him a go as the number 1 ruck

 

[FLVanLandingham]

when will they call the throw GAH!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

We're so far off Melbourne that there's only been 17 free kicks. Cant even give away a free kick

 

[Squizz89]

32 scoring shots against tonight and will concede 100 points again. Other than the Saints game our team defence must be a real worry as well.

 

[briztoon]

We need 5 players with leg speed and ball winning ability. That's how far we are off IMO. Will take 3 years to get that many players. By then Rich, Zorko, Neale, Lyons will be gone.

Well we drafted two last year (Wilmot and Lohman) and hopefully have two more coming this draft (Ashcroft and Fletcher) and another in 2024 (Fletcher jr).

Wr are unlikely to win from here

Look at Melbournes half back line race back to help out their deeper backs then. Amazing workrate

 

[scoman]

Serious question to those at the ground.... Where are our key forwards? Are they on the ground?

 

[dlanod]

No they’re not. They gave up.

Nah. They were shirking it for a bit but they're still playing it out once they came out at half time - our system just needs adaptation to cover this kind of game. The open question is whether that happens.

 

[Jeremiah001]

My punishment for being too optimistic about this game is to keep watching.

 

[CarterS]

This might be close to 100 by the time it's over if we're not careful

 

[FLVanLandingham]

what a disappointing goal.

lost a lot of confidence it seems, just praying the quick handball will keep the play alive.

 

[SizeMatters]

outside of Ashcroft i havnt seen much on contested ball wining ability from the others. so same issue.

 

[Jivlain]

Dunno what Harro and Adams were doing there, but whatever exactly it was it weren't smart

 

[JB42]

Andrews has been ordinary for 2 years and is going backwards. Anyone who thinks this side is going places with him as a key back is kidding themselves. Give Payne a proper go. Andrews out

 

[PTizzle]

Yeesh, think that might be me done. Plenty to work on in the coming weeks - hoping we're a bit more up for it in round 23.

 

[wikinick257]

And again we just stop when the ball is still live. Heads need to roll

 

[Nathan Barley]

Our ball movement has been too slow and negative. Could’ve been helped by getting some speed off half back

 

[dlanod]

Well we drafted two last year (Wilmot and Lohman) and hopefully have two more coming this draft (Ashcroft and Fletcher) and another in 2024 (Fletcher jr).

Wouldn't mind see Wilmot for Answerth at a minimum. Wouldn't make the difference tonight, but keeping our hands on the ball would help.

 

[dlanod]

Wow Eric took a contested mark above his head! :O

Edit: oof.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rayner, Dev and TBerry at that centre clearance?

 

[irish]

So piss pour , gave up without a fight what forward line ! Didn’t expect a win but expected a challenge

 

[mattsmob]

Rayner, Dev and Terry in a center bounce and they pressure and fight till they win the ball. Coaching group needs to start trusting them in there
