Game Day Round 20, 2023 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

[JB42]

So.... we need more run and Fagan decides to sub Fletcher out instead of one of the old guys that were gased at half time.

 

[notliondown]

Man on Man, high pressure... Our kryptonite. We have no answers yet again.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kiddy might be concussed after that Falcon?

Do we rest players and just take the L next week?

 

[tate13]

Geez for a premiership contender - which we are- the difference between a good day and a poor day is massive. Seem to have one of these every few months and it’s not great.
Falling over at pivotal moments, poor connection with the forward line and just basic skill errors resulting in scores against.
The pressure is also nonexistent. Opposition ball carriers have little to no pressure on them, contested ball falls away and 2-way running isn’t there.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah Oscar pantsed again

 

[haystark]

Fagan needs to go.

 

[Squizz89]

If you’re going to play a team of flankers you probably can’t run with the 3 tall set up. Fages kept Jack on though?

 

[Toffee Lion]

I just do not see a flag contender in this current group anymore.

I do still think we'll have a good future with the likes of Will/Levi/Fletcher/Wilmott etc etc.

 

[SizeMatters]

Chalk and cheese.

Suns working harder. Lowering their eyes going forward. Stretching the Lions defence.

Lions are Cubs outside of the Gabba.

Fagan. I’ve had enough. Not subbing Gunston, Rayner or Zorko isn’t helping. I hope Fletcher isn’t injured but if he’s fine it’s a big call considering Fletcher doesn’t panic and can run up and down the field all day.

 

[Tom14]

Delivery inside forward 50 has been absolutely diabolical.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Away game first week of finals. Do we change something?

 

[scoman]

Whats Dimma’s number !

Block all the exits on the M1, funnel him up to Brisbane!

 

[irish]

Another B grade team beats us up ? Wot a joke ,

 

[martinson]

Last week we had Ah Chee wing forward. Till the last 10 minutes.

Seemed to go ok for us.

But to keep Gunston in we tear that up and fiddle around with insufficient cover for Ashcroft in the m/f.

The players haven't turned up but serious coaching/selection malfunction.

Not that it would've saved us today

 

[Warwick]

Is Fletch injured??

Surely he hasn’t been subbed with Zorko and Gunston on the field.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fagan needs to go.

Recruiters need to go. Haven’t drafted a single decent mid in the open draft since Clug

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Gold Coast will lose next week I don’t even need to see who they are playing

 

[Sproj]

Back 3m, back 3m, back 3m! No? Ok play on.

 

[Sproj]

Made a junk side look good.

They've been excellent, be fair.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Got a lesson but this season has given me a lack of faith in our ability to learn from lessons.

We’re an improved team this year but we’re not consistently able to play a style that makes us look capable of a premiership assault.

Those fans who can’t derive satisfaction from anything less than a premiership may need to adjust their sights.

 

[scoman]

Away game first week of finals. Do we change something?

Might not be if we lose a couple more.

 

[SizeMatters]

Away game first week of finals. Do we change something?

Head coach?

 

[FLVanLandingham]

if we can jag 2 goals here, we can do it!

 

[martinson]

Has to be said . Gunners and Zorks are done when the game's hot.

Surely we've seen enough this year to know.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Oscar straight to their spare

Cant understand why we’d persist
