Review Round 20, 2016 - Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows

[MSB ROYS]

When tactics are an important part of the game, we have a coach who struggles picking the team, motivating players, poor game plan and terrible game day tactician. He is out if excuses and needs to go - if only to reset the players minds.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Just a mess. I've got no answers.

 

[davemc_lions]

We won Clearences, Tackles (for once), hitouts and interchanges. There is a positive.
5.0 first half 1.3 second half.

ALTOGETHER NOW...

Its easy to win tackles when you never get the ball

 

[Bucking Beads]

We just keep getting worse. There really has been barely any improvement in any of our players over this season.

 

[pulpdriver]

Surely it's in the best interests of the club and its dwindling members and supporters to move Leppitsch on.

The off season will be the key. I'm not sure Leppa is the crux of all our problems but at this point I think selling hope for existing members staying on will require a new coach with an impressive history, facilities being signed off with an end in sight and high draft picks to come in to sell the future, a priority pick, however unlikely, would help this. Leppa will be gone but there's no sense in sacking him now.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

we only had 14 less contested possessions

This is the thing that really triggers me. I don't expect to make finals or win a flag any time soon, but I'd just love to see fairly consistent improvement from most of our players. We're going backwards at a rate of knots.

 

[TheMagician15]

Priority pick and a new coach and me (fool) and my money will be easily parted

 

[PattyKwasagun]

This is the night we'll all be reflecting on when we're finally good again, in a 'how did we get through that' sort of way.

 

[davemc_lions]

you do know teh bombers out tanked us the other week so we been told to loose by more to try for the PP.

 

[M Malice]

we must be competitive next year, these constant floggings are going to wear our young boys down. their confidence will take a hell of a beating if this continues early next year.

 

[Dizzle]

My wrist nearly got cramp hovering over the 'vote Andrews' button for two hours...

 

[base615]

Has a coach ever resigned during a post match press conference?

Roy Hodgson

 

[spenze]

Have watched a few Brisbane games this year and as supporters you just have to stick with the boys at the moment. You have some absolute gun, elite talls coming through your team and they are the hardest type of players for teams to get their hands...on and you have a handful. Grab a few mids in the next three years and what you are going through now will be a distant memory.

We have lost before and still lost the tackle count. Tragic

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Leppa has to go. Don't care if he doesn't have the cattle.... No team should be beaten like that.... ever.

Just horrific.

 

[BlackGun1]

Actually thought Hanley tried tonight. Its actually sad seeing what hes been reduced to with his hips.

I feel like he will never be the same again

My lord Archie is going to be something. I am in love

 

[DanT7]

Archie our best player again?
Mathieson, Andrews, Keyes, Hammelman, Hipwood, MRobbo good.
Lester, Dawson not up to it.
NRobbo on notice, much as I like the kid. Can't go THAT missing!
Time for Green, Gardiner, Taylor to be traded. I used to like Dizzy but is game is 1 dimensional and even in that area sometimes (like tonight) he gets smashed.
Hopefully if we trade Green, Gardiner, Taylor and Rockliff, get a priority pick, and a new coaching panel, we have some future.

 

[13Beast]

The Crows have gone ahead of the Giants on percentage, so they got everything they could possibly have wanted from tonight.

Well, we still hold the record for the biggest win in the history of this fixture. They fell three points short of our record 141 point win. So there's that.

Yeah! Take that Crows!! Lions NUMBER ONE!

 

[Gadzorks]

Crowd of 43000 all bar a few going off for the crows. Our poor boys. That has to be one hell of a bad night out and a real eye opener for the young players.

Do we need a messages for the players thread? With only supportive posts?

I agree about the coach but trading out those players and getting a priority pick won't make us a better side anytime soon.

 

[SizeMatters]

Is there any way the members can demand a meeting and sack Leppa?
