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

[Sproj]

Well let's see what happens from here next week. There are so many concerns to come out of this game, so many more than Hawthorn as well.

 

[Sproj]

Rekon he might have checked out.

Yep, its been Prior against Hawthorn bad, he needs to be dropped.

 

[Nathan Barley]

This is getting beyond embarrassing

Dunkley, Clug, Hippy and Ah Chee ok and the rest pretty horrible

 

[beatnik]

They've been excellent, be fair.

Correct…well done to Gold Coast, they were ferocious…that win has been a long time coming…Gold Coast came in with big FU energy and they wanted it much, much more tonight…it caught us on the back foot

That said, they were allowed to absolutely manhandle and abuse our best players in close and gained a big advantage from it… that stuff will get picked under the big lights so it was a great tune-up for the upcoming finals even though it was a tough watch tonight

 

[Harris Specter]

41 point smashing. Out worked and we look like we are happy with another finals straight sets exit.

 

[martinson]

His pressure has been ok too

At least he's tried to apply pressure . We've got 100 game+ players who tbh just gave up.

 

[JB42]

How are we tired? We

Our ball movement has done Gunston no favours

Gunston does not compete and is a liability on the ground

 

[Sherrinator]

Just a bunch of cowards

 

[pulpdriver]

Utterly pathetic.

 

[Nathan Barley]

We lead forward 50s but they lead possessions inside forward 50, 52-31. That is woeful and should be a stat we dominate normally

 

[William C]

If Fagan mentions the 21-20 score attempts as a justification we played alright i will be furious.

We were nowhere near it today and this is on our lack of fitness and coaching gameplan. Talent can only get you so far ...

 

[Nathan Barley]

Awesome games against Melbourne and Geelong but we’ve probably played 4 good quarters over 3 weeks. Those 4 were very special but too much other rubbish

I agree , Suns wanted it more .

We never really looked in it but it’s not the end of the world .

 

[scott_the_man]

I don't usually like what David King has to say but I think he was spot on tonight about how we were completely outcoached and didn't have the answers tactically.


Gold Coasts blanketed Neale and we allowed Anderson to do what he wanted. Harris was forced to play 1v1 and took 0 intercept marks for the first time all year. Even though these things (and more) were having a massive influence on the game, the coaches didn't seem to even try to rectify it by switching things up.

We have been lacking a bit in that department but tonight it stood out a lot.

Unless some journos grow a spine and actually grow a spine, there won't be any reason to listen to the post game presser. Its just empty nothing statements

 

[Nunez]

True.

But surely you realise he's hopeless when the game's hot.

Fagan needs to put that pipedream to bed .

I would drop him for structure not for form or effort.

To attack him for his effort is nothing short of preconceived bias.

He had a down game after three very good games. Charlie had a bad month.

Ultimately I think we are a much better team when we play two talls and would drop him for that alone, but the whipping boy s**t is so old.

Was Fort injured in the reserves? We might not have a ruckman next week
