Game Day Round 22, 2017 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[jackess]

The fact we managed 14 goals is really encouraging.

Bog average team Melbourne

Really a great effort by our Lions today. So frustrating but to fight it out to the bitter end is something to be proud of. We're last on the ladder but fight with a top class attitude.

This is a top 8 team we're against and we haven't been anywhere near disgraced today.

Love when the umpires ruin football time and again. Hope they get belted by 100 first week of the finals the staging pricks

Stupid by Witherden, like a lot of things he has done today.

 

[jackess]

20 contested marks is phenomenal for us.

Not going to lie I was one of those people that wrote off Lewy Taylor, but my word that young boy is a player! Works his absolute butt off.

In addition we need to keep Rockliff in this side such a mature influence and if he can have a niggle free year next year can be all Australian easily!

Good job lions. 13 point loss isn't too bad. At least we know Melbourne wont feature too heavily in finals.

 

[Jivlain]

Much better than most of our recent history against the Dees

 

[PTizzle]

Shame, but a great effort.

 

[Sausages]

Fantastic effort by our guys despite the result. Days gone by we would have dropped the workrate and been comfortably beaten - the coaching message is getting through. Bring on 2018!!

 

[Nunez]

I honestly thought we'd lose by 30-50 points. Really great effort.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Play like that next week and we pump North by 6+ goals.

 

[Milux]

How ******* good for was Walker.

Their continuous desire to get back into it shows so much development. Last season it would've been damage control after a valiant 1st quarter and a 2nd quarter brainfart 10 mins in. The growth has been phenomenal, enough to keep giving top 8 teams scares into the final minutes.

Shame it took Walker 4 full qtrs to kick an awkward goal, he almost stuffed it up

 

[Hollow Knight]

How ******* good for was Walker.

Something happened to him in the Doggies game. He just clicked.

5 contested marks

 

[rockypls]

20 contested marks is phenomenal for us.

walker probably had half of those

Yeah, its called he actually gave a s**t. That game was a turnaround for him and glad he has continued on.

 

[ImAFreeMan]

That 5 minute passage before the end of the game was some of the most entertaining football I've seen all year! The tackling was ferocious and the general fast play, that's the kind of footy we need to bring back the lions fans!

Actually getting emotional over a really meaningless game for us

His role today wasn't to kick goals, spent a bucket load of time up the ground.

I remember that game clearly. Especially his game. His running off the ball is fantastic. I seen a post before saying he only got one goal at the end. But I'm sure he got us about 6.

Demons fans think they just took down a juggernaut when really they s**t their pants in the last and only just got over the line.

Gonna enjoy them play like this in finals and get destroyed.
