Review Round 20, 2017 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

Can't afford to have poor disposal skills and not win the clearances.

 

[jackess]

Great effort considering Rocky, Beams and Zorko were ordinary, none of our forwards got on top and our key backs were well beaten.

 

[RWFFFPT]

Frustrating. If only hipwood and schache were switched on, we could have won.

I'm proud but my god, such a strange feeling compared to last year - just switched off half time because we were never in it, but now we are usually in games until late last quarter.

Schache and Hippy were both down today, but the real disappointment for me was Beams, Rocky,Martin and even Zorko... some putrid turnovers,poor contested work and just went missing

 

[dlanod]

Witherden.

Injured and missed his streak by one.

 

[RWFFFPT]

I can't wait to start thrashing all these ******* teams when we become good

Who voted for Clug? Had an absolute stinker, by far his worst game yet

 

[pulpdriver]

We were really poor entering the forward half initially and then when we talk control our forwards we poor.

Hippy takes the mark and its a different result.

Shack was s**t. Needs to go back to the reserves and get accustomed to running and being hit. He was bad.

Overall though I think it was a great team effort, it just hurts to come so close.

Allison was excellent until he got tired.
Hipwood was too keen, but that's okay.
Walker's best game.
Rich 2 good games in a row... it's been years.
Out: Cox, Schache
In: Smith, CBeams
Hopefully Witherden is all good.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Winnable game in the end, so disappointed. At least the dogs run of games against the bottom teams is over.

 

[jackess]

I reckon we could bring Bewick, Harwood and Close this week and drop of a few of the younger players.

C.Beams is cooked.

 

[WheildonTheAxe]

We would have won if Close was playing

 

[BRAB]

Watching Hipwood completely s**t the bed was strange.

Ok game.

 

[bato]

We would have won if Close was playing

Yeah, his one mark games really are the difference.

 

[The Zork]

2018 we win that game. Plain and simple.

 

[MacMum]

So frustrating, yet so good considering the mistakes made and the players who were just not switched on.

Am seriously concerned for Schache, not sure he has what it takes to be in the seniors.....Will be interesting to see how he progresses next year.

We gave the Bulldogs one hell of a fright though.....well done boys in general.

 

[pulpdriver]

Yeah, his one mark games really are the difference.

Yeah it was weird, it was like his first game or something. No idea why he reverted so strongly

 

[jackess]

Hopefully Berry finally gets his rising star nomination. 18 disposals, a great goal and six tackles.

 

[pulpdriver]

I replied to wrong post but I don;t care enough to fix it.

 

[brizrider]

Did well in the bits where we won the clearances. Needed more bits where we win the clearances.

 

[MacMum]

C.Beams is cooked.

Yes, no more CBeams for me thanks.

 

[WheildonTheAxe]

Yeah, his one mark games really are the difference.

Walker was great but our tall forwards certainly didn't make much impact

 

[scott_the_man]

Schache really needs to harden up a bit and attack the footy. Several times tonight he just waited for the opposition to get the footy instead of throwing his body in himself. So frustrating to watch
