Toast Round 3 = Brisbane Lions 72-92 Collingwood

[SwanDaneFan1991]

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.

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

Born and bred or ex Victorian?

Sauce: my old man keeps deflecting back to Melbourne, but has LARPed as a Queenslander for more than three quarters of my life

If Fly doesn’t mention Brisbane in the presser, then I’m going to smash my TV in.

 

[Eric Shin]

Caro got what she wanted. Fly just gave credit to Brissy in the press conference.

Not to mention a quiet night on the moderation front, strangely quiet and free of incursions on our board tonight. I wonder why …

Because nobody ACTUALLY barracks for Brisbane?

lol.What abiut Fagan,did he mention us in his presser?You know how important these things are to some people.

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

And great to see the umps didn't get sucked into his ducking, diving and arm flapping.

Yep some games he’d get 2 or 3 of those.
Not a badly umpired game tonight.

 

[Nebula1971]

Such a typical Collingwood win, backs against the wall and on the road. I should’ve know better, nothing safer

Yep, called it all week.

Didn’t bother jumping on BF for the first 3 weeks as I know how pathetic some of us are with our own and especially after witnessing an unbelievable flag. I could be wrong and hope that I am, but anyone doubting we were gone either has no clue about the game or are eternal pessimists.

A long way to go, but some magnificent signs.

Keep the faith and keep bleeding Hodgey. I thought you were a good bloke.

Is Rayner the new barometer at Brisbane ?
In a not so flattering way
When the flat track bully went at Bruzzy just before half time , I knew we were a strong chance to win this one

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

The bits of my bones
I was strangely calm
We'll always yell hello
Too the darning of the storm....

Personally I thought we were a chance when in the pregame one of the “ experts” nominated Dane Zorko as the most important player for them.

Mitchell deserves some credit. Got his hands dirty and helped limit Lachie Neale in the second half big time. Neale only had a handful of touches in the second half.

Well said but a lot of supporters only look at stats and miss what some do without the ball

 

[stormskye]

Where’s Eugene and Magpiegirl?

 

[parano1a]

No interstate side has played more games at the Gabba than us. Interesting for a side that “doesn’t travel”.

It was our "home" ground for half of the 2020 season.

 

[BigVic]

After a torrid start and entering tonight at 0-3 we have a long break before our next game vs Hawthorn in Gather Round

I think it’s only one person but Brissy aren’t us so we’ll just move along shall we.

 

[Vicky Park]

I mean, has a team ever won the premiership after a 0-3 start?

Under Fly, we say pfft to stats. Look at tonight’s stats - Lions won most of them. Is there a record out there waiting to be broken? Bring it on.

 

[SchuPie]

B Frampton. Gun

3 votes.

Yep - what did he cost us…a 3rd rounder
I thought he was exceptional
GF, last week’s game, Fly’s praise, Billy worth much more than what we paid for him

Thought Beau was exceptional in 1st and 3rd - that’s the player he can be

Disappointed Finn of so early - loved his clearance work

 

[Apex36]

There was not one mention of the Pies in his press conference.

He never got any questions about us (just like Fly wasn’t asked about Saints last week) but it didn’t bother Caro.

Fully expecting her to get called out on this on FC by the other hosts if she doesn’t “arrow” Fagan next week.

have you returned serve to your lions in-laws?

....we'll take it!

 

[jase038]

Daicos and noble off half back crucial for link up, noble is way more valuable then markov

Hoskin Elliot should probably never play again, degoey has looked horrible and even pendles making uncharacteristic mistakes tonight

Lot of room for improvement

Age plus Fox Footy combined "expert" tipping:

Brisbane 26

Pies 1

We were set up defensively really well. Biggest difference from the first couple weeks. The pressure and tackling was back as well.

Aside from 2nd qtr where we couldn’t get the ball out of defensive 50.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Give us a stat & we'll re-write history.
