Review Round 20, 2023 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Let's hope that's the end of the upsets for this weekend.

 

[CarterS]

Outsmarted, outhunted, outworked, outcoached, outstanding Gold Coast.

 

[Thomasno]

Literally our biggest problem is underestimating our opponent.

Look at our losses this year:

• Port in round 1 when everyone thought they’d be middling again
• dogs in round 3 after they started 0-2 looking like absolute garbage
• Adelaide, assuming we’d be able to win on class alone
• Hawthorn who are a bottom 4 side
• Melbourne after completely dominating 80% of the game and putting the cue in the rack
• and now Gold Coast, who we assumed would roll over like they usually do

People keep calling us flat track bullies, but ironically we’re whatever the opposite of that is.

We need to hire a ******* psychologist

Let's hope that's the end of the upsets for this weekend.

We're not that unpredictable

 

[pulpdriver]

Dunno what we were thinking not bringing in another mid to replace Ashcroft with no Bailey. Dunno why we allowed the King Andrews match up to be exploited for so long. Dunno why we couldn't run. I'm mad. That was terrible.

Let's hope that's the end of the upsets for this weekend.

You need a better coach imo, you are underutilising a very talented list.

Gold Coast were unbelievable tonight that would be far and away the best they have played this season. Everything went their way. Even their clangers hit open targets.

Saying that though D King was right, we were outcoached and didn't have the answers, let Lachie get bullied and let Anderson do whatever he wanted.

 

[pulpdriver]

Don't know if this current group has a flag in them under Fagan but if we can win one this year I don't think that 23 will feature Zorko or Gunston.

Biggest heel turn since Hulk formed the NWO

 

[M Malice]

The glee from the haters is palpable, you can sense it coming, the vitriol will flow tonight.... > Fagan is shite and our players are losers with no heart will be the narrative.

I am nowhere near as down as I was after the loss against the Demons a couple of weeks ago, the Suns wanted it more and we had a huge off day, they were way too good, it happens.

Let's hope that's the end of the upsets for this weekend.

I believe we should consider yourself disappointed...

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

We've regressed from last year.

 

[BRAB]

Gold Coast showed up to play in a Qclash for the first time in years and we weren’t expecting it.

Boys will bounce back. Bringing in more mid power for next week will help.

We played so much better against the Dees and got beaten by Gawn and Petracca and incredible accuracy. We were about as far off it today as we were in round 1 and against the Hawks and 3 losses like that concern me.

 

[Ceebee]

Suns deserved that win , well done to them .

Hopefully we hold onto to third spot .

Go Lions .

 

[martinson]

Everyone dancing on Collingwood's grave just had a wake up call.

That was pathetic.

Started with selections and just rolled on from there.

We've got enough experience in the side to not roll with passengers who are past it when the game heats up.

Besides a couple of permanent underperformers whom we can't seem to motivate or find a role for.

Not the end of the world but you wouldn't punt in us to suddenly be breathing fire in a final.

Lachie has to take some responsibility for working his way out of these situations too. He can't really play any other position that inside midfielder, so if he drops his head if he cops too much attention, there's not a lot anyone else can do.

I feel flat again. Every time we get an opportunity to seize we squander it. It happens with alarming regularity. Crows will almost certainly beat Port now and Melbourne will probably thump Tigers and put us into fourth to top it off.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Monstered in the midfield. Who would have thought. Great coaching again

You’re so obsessed with Collingwood mate. It’s weird

We played two of the best quarters I've seen us play in recent memory against Melbourne. Against GC tonight, we were just poor.

 

[Nathan Barley]

During the season, have we played 3 games in a row at a level likely to stand up in finals?

Collingwood and Port have. Maybe GWS recently?

We just continually have a let down
