Yes, it's very sapping playing in that humidity - hope the boys can recover quickly / at least Kerr and Masto will be fresh.
Good win in the end.

Most gusto I've seen that sung with for a while
Why are people so crabby about that game? It was wet and it was at the Gabba, what did you expect? Clean and precise for the whole game? Next week we will have some good Ins, and it's a home game. This is the first time we have showed some courage this year, and I'm quite happy about this.

Wow, I haven't posted here for ages. Is this what it's deteriorated into?

Well I only wanted our team to play decent football and not look like a bottom 8 side.
Other people may share my views.
Pretty much, most people were tipping this as a loss a few weeks ago..we win by 26 points at the Gabba in terrible conditions, while not even playing well mind you and people still arent happy?
Ok I didn't have to watch that so I might not have the visions of the poor plays in my head but... That is a very good win. We don't play the gabba well in recent years, we haven't won a close game this year until today, we haven't been kicking straight and our forth quarters have been horrible. But we played really well late in the game to seal it, and that can only be positive. Sometimes you just need a win like this, better than steamrolling the dogs and demons. FROM LITTLE THINGS BIG THINGS GROW!
2012 we lost at the gabba and 2011 we only won by 8 points, so let's just keep it in perspective. Another week into NN, Wellingham, Rosa, saw Hutch debut, we'll hopefully get Masto and Kerr back.
Looking at the stats we got hammered in possessions and especially marks, poor transition play?

Clearly. Smotie is a useless poster wanting our stars dropped after each game and calls for Woosha's head regularly. During games. Which aren't finished yet. In which we win.
So yeah, it's nice to be immature and get one back on him. Just look at those liking it, bit of history there.

I've been a huge critic of his disposal but I am now of the opinion that Hutchings is a good user of the footy. Thought his disposal was fine today considering the conditions.
loved our accuracy today / why couldn't we do that earlier in the year - oh well! Lecca is back shooting straight again - thank God!
Schofield, Shepherd, Hill, NicNat all lifted and had good last quarters. McKenzie, Hurn, Brown, Kennedy were good all day. More than half the team had DE under 60%, some under 50% (Brennan six disposals, 33% DE). Midfield generally were down and beaten. We have a lot of improvement to do if we are going to make finals.
Hutchings had a good start but faded, butchered the ball, but was good in the contest, worked very hard and tackled well. Disappointed with Wellingham after a promising game last week.

Yeah now all the positivo's are coming out. That was a great win.
Longest trip in footy in s**t conditions without Kerr and my man Masto with backs against the wall. This is huge.
I hold onto my hatred of Poony Shawt though.

He seemed to just whack it onto the boot today. A couple of times kicked it to nobody or straight to a Lions player. Just checked stats and 46% DE. That stat isn't always the most reliable, but I think it's about right. 50/50 today.

Had trouble clearing the ball outside our defensive half as Brisbane set up well across the middle of the ground and locked it in. They then had a tendency to share the ball around trying to find an avenue to goal which often pushed them wide
When we did get it into our half our tall forwards (other than jack) looked dangerous and we made the most of our opportunities
Nah I'm happy with a mediocre performance until 3 quarter time.

Surely just ignore or mute is the way to go?
Anyway, I've poked my head in and seen what's what. I'll take Qinz word for it and assume these threads aren't even worth reading.
Good win today. Always confident of getting the points up at the Gabba ever since that string of wins in the early 2000s.
Onwards and upwards.

Anyone still have 7 on atm? Kerr tackling down McVeigh. Shows how crap the game has become in comparision. He won the holding the ball with a perfect tackle there, turned McVeigh too and didn't get into his back. Even Walls praising him straight away in the commentary.
