Toast Round 3 = Brisbane Lions 72-92 Collingwood

[Apples]

Excellent effort.......I just knew we could do it tonight. Ye of little faith!

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Good night campaigners. Great way to start the Easter Holidays. Go into next week in good spirits now.


Going to be a Good, Good Friday.

The Crucifixion Cup tomorrow. Resurrection Cup on Monday. Don't know why the AFL hasn't got on to it. They like an excuse to hand out a cup.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Frampton, Noble and Elliott were sensational

I'd include Josh Daicos too.

 

[BigVic]

I am relieved after the 0-3 start. Always knew a win was going to come. Keep the faith

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

McCreery’s third quarter was massive. Took the game by the scruff of its neck.

Might be overlooked but its worth acknowledging.

Frampton was really important in quelling Daniher, who with Cameron is a barometer for them and generally has the better of Moore.

Daniher actually looked concerned about Frampton and his body work

I'd include Josh Daicos too.

And McCreery

 

[Hardas]

Also Framp may have shed his premiership meme status as he’s been fantastic the last two weeks. Why we didn’t start him for the beginning I don’t know

Either way, Billy's really stepped up & being much more assertive, rather than always trailing his man into the contest. Really happy for him to grow like that, & it really strengthens our backline.

He looked composed, confident and predictably reliable tonight. Best game he has played for us IMO.

Where are the “Elliott is on thin ice” clowns now?

He is such a high impact player. That third quarter was top shelf.

Thank god. Imagine going into Easter with a 0-4 record. That was an absolute brilliant win, and now we have a 10 day break, Hawthorn, then the bye. We could really launch into our season from here, considering we were given a ridiculous first month of the season from the AFL....

 

[Black_White]

JFN.

Close thread.

 

[Eric Shin]

Thought McInnes was also handy in a more defensive role to keep Andrews accountable

Loved his game. Only got outmarked once.

Elliott has been close to our best player this first 4 weeks

 

[stormskye]

I would have taken 2-2 after this BS draw.

So we need to catch up 1 game to be basically even. This helps.

[ahkemit]

We certainly needed that.

Thanks to the media for firing the boys up. Never in doubt!

Honestly don't think the boys get fired up from what the media say

Is Lachy Sullivan a chance to step into our midfield if he plays another good VFL game?

 

[Horaceg]

We where 0-3 Before the Game

That joke has been sh1t in me all week, it’s Brisbanes turn now

BT just dying a slow painful death talking to Fly’s Dad and step mum

I wish BT would roam out onto the freeway

I am often a defender of BT as I find his unprofessional commentary endearing - it's like if one's 95 year old grandfather were commentating, you'd think "he's so wrong on many things but he's passionate and having a crack... and that is cute".

But him failing to notice that the ball had clearly hit the post, along with the open contempt shown towards him by most players and relatives he interviews (of any team) it makes me think the game has moved past him and he is another remnant of the AFL media's failing "jobs for the boys" policy.

but I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to be a Queenslander tonight.

To be fair, every night is a bad night to be a Queenslander.

Ouch, Fly's parents are still Lions supporters..

His step mum wasn’t shy about her displeasure at the result either

Hear, hear. Can't believe people suggested he could/should be dropped.
