Review Round 9, 2025 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[Coastal Lion]

Well played Nth

 

[Helicon1]

That was horrendous. Worrying knowing we have Gawn next up. O and Fort absolutely pants today. Both just allow other rucks to dictate. Frustrating

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Did they cop one not 50 play on? Logan had every friggin right to feel aggrieved at the bullshit calls he copped. Too many hand tackles. Played nonchalant, we’re too good for this mob, football. ****ing horrible to watch.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

We can hopefully use this to get Coleman and Doedee in the team.

 

[braddsey]

Mcinerney punching a 2 hand behind instead of an uncontested mark in the 3rd

Pretty sure that wasn’t reason we didn’t win.
Not clearing their 50 with 2 minutes to go didn’t help…

 

[luthor]

Part of me is happy with the draw
Part of me is frustrated with our performance.

And Part of me is spewing at the lopsided officiating in the last quarter

 

[Nunez]

Season is just for seeding. players and coaches will be filthy.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Could have been worse.

 

[rcbrions]

Have to give credit where its due Xerri absolutely pantsed our Rucks.

 

[Nunez]

Our team is so good even when we lose we get 2 points.

 

[Elixuh]

I’m inconsolable after that loss, we are never going to win a flag under Fagan.

 

[braddsey]

We can hopefully use this to get Coleman and Doedee in the team.

Absolutely. It’s as good as a loss so can look for an improvement from players knocking in the door.

 

[scoman]

Top of the table baby!!

 

[Viceregal]

Lachie said we were lucky to get the 2 points (or something like that) ... about the best we could have deserved.

Weird to be on the top of the ladder and feel this flat.

To add a positive ... loved Payne's spoil near the end!!!

 

[mpal6]

Take the 2 points and run.

Against Gawn I'd just play Big O and Hipwood/Gallop to take my chances.

Also - please use a running type as sub. Always. thanks Fages.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Worst performance of all time.

Not sure about that. Remember this one?

Round 20, 2016. Adelaide 27.15.177, Lions 6.3.39. There many more.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Embarrassing effort tonight, but I hope mcdonald gets 3 weeks for knocking out Berry that had a huge impact on the game aswell.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Well played Nth

Was about to say that. They played well all game and deserved to win.

 

[JB42]

Playing fort and mcinerney and Gardiner as the sub is insane

This. Lost at selection. If you are going to play two rucks, to have a key defender as the sub was ludicrous.

[Lions2Good]

Got out of jail

 

[janty]

Gotta get rid of Gardiner and Answerth ASAP.

 

[martinson]

Deserved to lose.

Take the 2 points and move on.

 

[Paul Mac]

Lost for words after that game sorry.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Pretty sure that wasn’t reason we didn’t win.
Not clearing their 50 with 2 minutes to go didn’t help…

Pretty certain a behind is worth 1 point...
