Review Round 17, 2020 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Here we've been!

 

[pulpdriver]

That last quarter has absolutely made my weekend. That was so much fun to watch.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Great last 10 minutes of the final quarter!

 

[Ironmonger]

Good.

 

[Athlonxp]

Coleman is going to be something!
Once he gets enough games into him

Loved the Answerth/Bailey combo at the end.

Not a pretty win but still a win.

 

[CarterS]

Backline did really well though, lots of intercept marks. We know how good Gardiner is but i think around the comp he doesn't get the respect he deserves!

 

[Jivlain]

McStay BOG for mine, worked hard all game, lots of important marks, fantastic wet weather game from him.
Lyons stepped up in the midfield with Berry out and Neale tagged.
OMac had a great game, worked hard, some good hands.
Lester was a rock down back.
Coleman was fantastic and dynamic all over again.
Hinge looked good.
That period early in the last where Archie gained ruck ascendency was really important.
Robbo was very much himself, what more can I say
And Neale getting tagged into the ground probably won me my Fantasy matchup

Plenty of others I could mention, first five get my votes I think.

 

[mpal6]

Call me crazy, that fourth quarter felt like Archie suddenly realized what he can do in center bounces.

Shades of Goldstein, actually going after the ball and trying to get the first kick our way. Impressive.

 

[Sproj]

That is what good teams do, put the opposition away even when not playing at their best. I feel like this side is kind of going through the motions, not wanting to show everything they've got just yet.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

We showed tonight that we are a worthy top two team, responding under pressure in challenging conditions and with some of our best watching on. That double chance is gold.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Play of the year: Big O going for that torp.

Now to find a video of it...

McStay great, Lester Lyons Big O and Rich all really good.
Coleman Neale Zorks Bailey Answerth Hippy Charles all had really good moments too

good solid win, and when the game freed up we switched it on.

Don't think Neale will get the 5 coaches votes required to seal that award.. dangit

 

[Sausages]

When it mattered, we lifted and that's the most pleasing thing for me.

 

[Ironmonger]

That is quite an impressive performance. Sydney aren't at the pace this year but we know that they can be dangerous. And they got within a kick and there was always a chance we'd panic.

And we did the exact opposite of panic, and we made the game ours.

Tough circumstances for both teams, and we were a little tougher and a little classier. Those are good reasons to win games.

 

[Dalions]

Second half was on the first thank f”;$

 

[Mr Ripper]

Biggest disappointment of the year Oscar’s barrel not going through.

 

[Kapers]

You guys just broke us in that last quarter, congratulations.
For what's its worth I had mixed feelings see you guys run away with the win, want to see you guys take a premiership, and being top 2 helps.
Still would've liked to win hahahaha.

Good luck in the finals!

 

[SRH17]

Felt sad watching Squizzy talk to the boys, he looked upset.

 

[undefined]

Sam Reid restricted to 1 mark and no scoreboard impact.

Another excellent performance from Jack Payne, this time against an experienced premiership key forward.

 

[Macca225]

Turned it on for 15mins, answerth and Gardiner were good again, rich is a rock.

 

[luthor]

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

 

[Kapers]

Sam Reid restricted to 1 mark and no scoreboard impact.

Another excellent performance from Jack Payne, this time against an experienced premiership key forward.

To be fair, Reid stunk it up, and has for a while.

 

[Maroon Monsoon]

I really did not think I'd have to give a * about this game but I'm so glad that the swans made it close enough that I did. That last quarter was a cracker.

How good was it to see kiddy get his first goal! I also really liked Charlie and hippys games, though they were just outside the votes for me.

But the absolute best part of the game was getting the win to lock down a top two finish and not having any new injuries! I'd forgotten what having the team get through unscathed was like after the past two weeks!

 

[LionKing]

Great win tonight in tough, greasy conditions. Highlight for me

Coleman’s goal and seeing the boys get around him. They came from everywhere and were genuinely wrapt for the kid, and

Hipwoods goal running at full pace, under pressure against 2 opposition players and kicking a brilliant goal on his non preferred foot

 

[MSB ROYS]

Feels so much better to pull away in the few minutes than fall over the line. Bring on the Blues next week.

Backline did really well though, lots of intercept marks. We know how good Gardiner is but i think around the comp he doesn't get the respect he deserves!

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