Game Day Round 6, 2017 - Brisbane Lions vs. Port Adelaide

[Jivlain]

Isn't he one of our best runners?

He's distance more than speed

 

[TheMagician15]

Isn't he one of our best runners?

He may have better endurance than some of our other players. But he's slow and lead footed to a contest and never seen a good rebound from him. He just has no place in a senior side it isn't his fault as such

 

[Jivlain]

Nice, still in the Schache Cup at least

 

[pulpdriver]

Get a break -- there's absolutely no one ahead.

Will take some time to get us up to scratch. Two way running rock bottom. Forwards get a pass because they're all kids.

 

[Nunez]

He hasn't taken a mark tonight.

Kids will do that.

We'd be 'kidding' ourselves if we crucify the kids for this loss. Our mids have royally stunk. Our entire team lost confidence as a result and here we are - a flogging.

Schache has played an average game, but Hipwood played a worse game against Richmond a few weeks back. They're kids, they will do that.

 

[lions27]

Keays been pretty good

 

[lions27]

Martin is horrible by foot

 

[royboys4eva]

Team is up by 100 but Hamish Harlett still found time to try and cheat the Lions out of a goal. Good bloke.

 

[jackess]

Kids will do that.

Who's crucifying him? There's no need to exaggerate this. He's played very poorly. It's as simple as that. I'm sure we'll stick with him but he has to do better.

"Brisbane Lions? How Embarrassment!"

 

[Gadzorks]

Dear Nick,
The time has come to break up.
Bye

 

[pulpdriver]

Martin is horrible by foot

I don't want to see like I'm Martin's defensive squad but show me a ruck that is great by foot.

It's not his best game but it's strange to fixate on him imo.

 

[PTizzle]

Should've handballed or at least gone for the chip Clugs.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

After watching last night you can see why Taranto jumped above Clugg.

4 touches hey, how can you be on the field for an hour and not at least get 10 handball receives. You could try and not go near it and still 4 touches. He will come good because he tries, as for Schak no go in him what so ever. At least look like you give a f%&k.

 

[jackess]

Keays has been very good. Played his role.

 

[lions27]

Bring back the biff

 

[Bucking Beads]

FFS I'm glad I switched off at quarter time.

 

[lions27]

I don't want to

 

[MacMum]

Huge congratulations to all who continued to watch on tv or who stayed through at the ground..

I couldn't.

 

[Gadzorks]

One contested mark per quarter. Way to go!!

 

[pulpdriver]

Robbo is a heart and soul player.

 

[lions27]

Harwood been pretty disappointing

 

[Gadzorks]

Round 2 gc lost by 102 point. We aren't the worst ... so far. Few minutes to go though

 

[jackess]

9 contested disposals between D Beams and Rocky. Need it closer to 30 to be competitive.

Goldstein

Meh, I'd say he's serviceable by foot, it's that his work around the ground creates opportunity and when he marks it's a relief mark in the defensive half and a quick pass off or a goal at the other end. I certainly wouldn't consider his kicking skills anything above average.

Not trying to create excuses, I just think it's a role where you can't expect solid kicking skills.
