Review Round 4, 2018 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

[Forward We Go]

Also that we may have attacked with too much pace, hence the mistakes.

Agree with mish33. This stat & lots of others mean nothing much. Time to move on now and forget this game now IMO.

No arguments there.

Throwback.

We’ve come so far.

Best bump of the year.


I hope we are never round 4 2018 s**t ever again.

 

[Viceregal]

At least it wasn't a game from 2016 that was bumped...

 

[Tom14]

Best bump of the year.


I hope we are never round 4 2018 s**t ever again.

Plenty of games in 2016 and 17 which were worse, if not on the scoreboard.

The crazy thing is that only half the team has turned over.

I seem to have PTSD from an Adelaide game. I have tried to repress the memory however once in a while I wake up with a fright and takes me a minute or two to realise it's 2022 and Fages is in charge. What year was the vs Adelaide game please?

Was that the last year of Leppa - 2016?

It may have been, I get flashes of Leppa in a Joker make up (a la Heath Ledger).

I think being 1 minute away from a goalless 3 quarters is one of the most demoralising moments in AFL.

I still have flashbacks from one specific game - AFL Tables - Richmond v Brisbane Lions - Sat, 12-Aug-2006 7:10 PM - Match Stats.

FTA games were very rare and there weren't streaming options available back then.

Watching them required staying up for an 11 pm start or thereabouts.

I still thought we were a competitive team with plenty of premiership players that year.

I had to turn it off at half time, already past midnight, because we were so putrid.

It was worse than our truly abysmal years because the expectations were still of an above average team.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Three of the players I voted for in this game are with other clubs now and one has retired...

Round 12 - 2016

We face Fremantle, who have only just won their first game of the season the week before against Essendon's VFL side. We haven't had a win in 9 weeks since scraping past a typical Gold Coast side. We have a chance.

Scores are level at quarter time and we're playing some promising footy.

Fremantle kick 9 goals to our 1 in the second quarter and we lose by 83 points.

That's the one that haunts me.

I got the full set - the retiree and four players with other clubs.

 

[luthor]

Agree.

Truly horrible game and the low water mark for me in our club history, certainly as the Brisbane lions. Nothing more depressing than the possibility of a goalless game.

Until that late third quarter goal, that possibility was looming large.

 

[mpal6]

Adelaide doing their percentage booster on us.
This was a painful one.

[FLVanLandingham]

this thread needs to hidden in a corner with warning lights all around it.

no more please, those days are over!

 

[Viceregal]

I was tempted to pull up the two team lists (someone earlier mentioned that half the squad had been turned over) and compile the list of old vs new, possibly with positions ... but managed to resist

Of course not only is it the swap outs it is the change of eg D Rich from 2018 to 2022.

 

[Not a Psycho]

10 best 22 and 9 (minus Hippy) left playing for us on the weekend. When you really think about it that is quite the turnover to the best 22 in a four year period. It marks a considerable difference to our 01 and 04 grand final sides (albeit much more successful) where you had 19 players that played in both sides.

 

[dlanod]

Of course not only is it the swap outs it is the change of eg D Rich from 2018 to 2022.

Not exactly, Daniel Rich wasn't in this team.

grin - well at least you know I wasn't lying when I said I hadn't looked up the team lists!

I only noticed when I did the count earlier and thought "oh that's odd" for him specifically. Was probably the year he injured himself.
