Review Round 17, 2020 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

[KissKiss]

Much better quarter to finish the game. The class started to shine through once the game opened up.

I'd say a lot of that win was set up by the defence. They held up and took a lot of intercept marks. Had both Lester and Rich in my votes and maybe could have gone to Answerth as well for his job on Papley.

Lyons was BoG for me and I also had votes for Oscar in the middle. Both were very instrumental in the wet conditions

And then final vote went to McStay. Big marking in those conditions is absolute gold. Made a huge difference to the game and should show a few people why he is in the team. Hipwood, Bailey and Cameron also had some good moments up forward. I am a little critical on Rayner for constantly flying for marks tonight. Think he could have been a bit smarter and stayed on the ground in the wet.

I was a little critical on the selection of Hinge. Wasnt sure on what he would offer but he did quite well. I still am not certain on where he fits in the team but he offers decent depth.

Smith had some decent moments in the ruck but think we either need Martin or a forward/ruck in the team soon

 

[martinson]

Just glad to get the 4 points. And show a bit of class when the game was on the line.

 

[luthor]

He rarely gets the respect he deserves from his own supporters.

Amen to that.

Played the intercept marking role magnificently and was a rock across half back

Well played sir.

 

[martinson]

We've got good depth if we get our injured players back.

Hinge is up to it if we need him.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

pump this into my veins.

Big O roost in the grand final please.



edit: disregard the slight breeze that helped that kick on its way

 

[rockypls]

Hinge’s left foot is an absolute weapon - need to keep him somehow

 

[luthor]

I thought CEY worked his way into the game quite well after looking like he had concrete shoes on in the first quarter.

And for all the criticism he cops, I thought Archie did really well and started to get some self belief. Had some constructive and meaningful disposals as the game went on.

 

[Paul Mac]

I reckon Mitch Hinge would have nearly gone at 100% with his disposal?

 

[Jivlain]

Eric when you set up a footrace in the fifty

 

[luthor]

pump this into my veins.

Big O roost in the grand final please.

Surely goal of the year contender if it actually went through for a goal

 

[Big Sauce 21]

pump this into my veins.

Big O roost in the grand final please.

Kicking over the dirty Brisbane River

 

[Toffee Lion]

The spread of votes says it all. We are a team. We aren't the Harris Andrews Football Club, or the Lachie Neale Lions. Last year it was the Charlie Cameron FC.

We have so many strings to a nicely drawn bow and we're ready to fire come finals. Strong effort tonight in tough conditions.

Well done boys.

 

[Grizzly86]

3rd game in 9 days and we finish the game off like that!?! Very pleasing sign.

 

[M Malice]

Fab 5- Rich, Gardiner, Oscar, Lyons, McStay.

IMO that was a very impressive win, 3rd game in 10 days in a rain drenched slog fest, the Swans were up for it and we lifted when needed.

How fantastic was Hippy's goal in the last quarter, would have been topped by Oscars 75 meter torp if it went through though.

 

[luthor]

Fab 5- Rich, Gardiner, Oscar, Lyons, McStay.

.

They were the votes I gave.

 

[lionsrules]

Good last quarter happy with how we played.
One criticism..... charlie Cameron has done this a few times now.... he will snap for goal and just lob it to the goal line (the one where rayner just can't really do anything with it) ..... if you're 35 out and snapping..... just goal and it should be sailing at least a third of the height of the posts .... this has happened on a fair few occasions and its either resulted in a behind or just a mark to the opposition....

He kick started that last quarter take away.
Archie that is!

 

[TheZork]

Hinge should've been playing over Witherden earlier in the season. Just as good a kick and a more solid all round game.

 

[M Malice]

They were the votes I gave.

Us old fellas are a good judge of footy luthor.

 

[iBeng]

I reckon Mitch Hinge would have nearly gone at 100% with his disposal?

14 touches @ 84.6

Is he ahead of Starc though? Or can we play all 3 of Answerth, Hinge and Starc? Id drop Birchall to bring back in Starc myself.

Hinge was especially good after moving to the backline.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Mighty LIONNNNNS and Hippy for goal of the year.
Hitting our straps at right time.

 

[squirrel grip]

Go the big octopus!!!!!!!!

 

[MSB ROYS]

Hinge’s left foot is an absolute weapon - need to keep him somehow

His right foot is a liability though.

 

[Scubaveg]

Great response from us in the last quarter.

I was sh!tting bricks when they got within 2 points

If we have a kick from 45 after the siren to win a big final, I want Zac to have the shot.

He is easily the most technically correct and reliable set shot for goal in our side.

The camera shot from behind him for that last shot was a thing of beauty

Him or Jarrod Lyons please.
