Game Day Round 23, 2022 - Brisbane Lions vs. Melbourne

[FLVanLandingham]

there we go Rayner!

edit: I feel Zorko sledged him. (petty) the way he's been carrying on so far.. eugh not a good feeling

 

[MacMum]

That doesn't sound good. Unusual for a player to be in tears a day the GMs to talk. sounds like something unpleasant happened

Which player? Did we all miss something or just me?

 

[Jivlain]

Which player? Did we all miss something or just me?

Petty I think

 

[dlanod]

LOL, the narrative has checked - "good set shot kicker, McStay".

 

[KissKiss]

Which player? Did we all miss something or just me?

Petty maybe. I can't remember their players that well

 

[mattsmob]

Which player? Did we all miss something or just me?

Nobody entirely knows what happened. Petty was in tears, both GM's had a talk about it. I'm sure more will come out in the coming days. Have the feeling I'm going to be very disappointed in one of our players unfortunately.

 

[dlanod]

Petty I think

If it was petty at least it wasn't serious.

 

[thedaz]

Which player? Did we all miss something or just me?

They didn't say - only that some player was upset (possible a Demons player)

 

[Nathan Barley]

Nice Kick Clug. Needed a lot more of that

 

[MacMum]

Thats not good, must've been very personel to put a player in tears. If it was caused by Zorko, the way I feel right now I'd want him suspended by the club, never to be seen again.

 

[Lionheart182]

Do we play Michael as a third tall down back and add another decent kick to our defence.?

Out for the year

 

[Nathan Barley]

Prior is a dumb ball user

 

[Nathan Barley]

Out for the year

Meant long term. This season is over

What’s the story? What GMs?

 

[Jivlain]

Yeah that's been how we defend alright

 

[Checkered]

Andrews was our “captain in waiting”… but is this still the case? Either through a change in the way the ball is coming in, or through a big drop in his form this year, he’s not the player he was! Hopefully he’s been carrying something…

Andrews was my favourite player up until the last few years and always seemed a captain in waiting. He’s gone from easy best key defender in the league to bog average. That obviously isn’t why he can’t be captain though, it’s his body language.

Every time his man marks it he throws his arms up and looks for a teammate to blame. If it’s not that it’s a tantrum at the umpires. Not sure if he got a big head or what, but he’s a long way removed from the player he was the first few years

 

[RU_]

Rayner has been in everything.

 

[Lionheart182]

Meant long term. This season is over

Oh right. Yeah maybe then

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rich had Clug on short

 

[mattsmob]

Do we try Gardiner in the ruck? Lovely soft hands on his taps

 

[Sherrinator]

Not sure. Commentators highlighted that one of the Melbourne players was in tears at the quarter break. Spoke to the coaches and then their GM called out our GM to talk

Mercy rule maybe

 

[FLVanLandingham]

rucks tonight:

Big O
McStay
Hipwood
Andrews

 

[mattsmob]

Please just put Rayner in the middle already

 

[Nathan Barley]

Coleman had his head ripped off twice

 

[JoeDanihersMoustache]

Were the lions told to avoid taking a mark inside defensive 50 at all costs
