Review Round 9, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[Nathan Barley]

He's going to be better than Will.

Disagree but he was great offensively tonight

 

[gapwedge0]

Imagine a world where Cam and Zac approached their work with the same application as Froggy, Bruce and Lachie.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Pretty ordinary from our lot tonight. Intensity and pressure way down for long part of that game.

really copped a flogging tonight. One of his worst games.

 

[beatnik]

Mature

A win doesn’t mean every criticism suddenly disappears. The second half was poor, and people are allowed to say that. If not, what’s the point of this website?

Correct, the second half was poor…no need to slag off the whole team

 

[Elixuh]

Not even mad. The blues first half broke my spirits in the stands. By the looks of it our players also lost the will to go on.

They’ll have to swap Chip for Gallop forward and Joyce back. Joyce was good.

Froggy Lester for PM.

Thank you for your time.

Harris Andrews really copped a flogging tonight. One of his worst games.

Whenever he gets chirpy his performance drops. He was at Ainsworth all night

 

[Bucking Beads]

I can see what the coaches see in young Curtin but tbh he looks all at sea out there.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Froggy deserved it because he was the big reason we had such a dominant lead playing a lone hand with Harris looking to be dragging a leg.

Then Choc . Bruce. Who else ?

Froggy was so dominant early I said he could be our captain he was that impressive.
I think it might have been the second quarter and the game was slowing and he made a desperate spoil.
More like groggy and we flog Carlton till they cry for their mummus
Anyhow tbh I enjoyed the game in the end and appreciated Carlton’s fight.
Just lacked A graders.
We just love to stuff around.

have kicked more sausage rolls than Logan Morris before turning 21.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Beatnik boosting my reaction score from melts. I love it

Hardly the whole team... but don't let facts get in the way of whatever high and mighty agenda you've got going on

 

[3KZ is Football]

100% agree. That’s why having Rayner in the leadership group is puzzling, because he so seldom steps up and provides leadership in games like this. He has far too many quarters and halves where he hardly touches the ball.

 

[braddsey]

He's going to be better than Will.

3 Norm Smith medals?

Careful. Goes against his policy of him ruling this forum

 

[beatnik]

I hope your feelings recover

Froggy Lester for PM.

Thank you for your time.

Lester was best on for me.

We were talking about him during the game - will be a shame if he retires this year.

Given he asked Joe last year about how did he know it was time to retire gotta think it's a possibility.

 

[Coastal Lion]

The vfl team should get the white board and list the players strengths and weaknesses in the the second half of the game.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

100% agree. That’s why having Rayner in the leadership group is puzzling, because he so seldom steps up and provides leadership in games like this. He has far too many quarters and halves where he hardly touches the ball.

But he stepped up in the GF. Those centre square tackles broke the spirit of Geelong.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Fages not overly happy with the performance, reckons we caused problems for ourselves by overusing the handball.

We've been overusing the handball all season though..if we're not learning from that it's a big problem

 

[Pride of lions]

Coleman and Fletcher are good with the ball but pretty lazy defensively. Kiddy is poor when 1 on 1 as well. I would much rather see him on the forward line. Linc looked cooked tonight,due for a rest. McKenna has to stay in, his ball use is so good. Plenty of poor performances tonight but hopefully they bounce back next week.

Lester actually played a Captain’s game. He took a team high 11 marks. He was inspirational tonight. His interception marking saved us time and again, his tackling and knock on’s and spoils were superb. On the flip side our half backs played lazy football and applied next to no physical pressure. Fletcher, McCarthy and Coleman did not complete a single tackle between the three of them.

 

[Coastal Lion]

I think Jasper's and Dunkleys off season surgery effected the lack of pre season training they both are well below last seasons form.
Hope they both turn it around as I love em both.
Curtin Joyce out
2 of Berry Noah Ty and Dizzy in.
Voss should be proud of the fight shown by his troops in the second half.

Do you think Zorko has been any better than Kiddy?

Fletcher has played wing the last 2 weeks

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fages calling the mulligan in his press conference

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fages said Bez and Gardiner available next week. Noz will need at least a couple more
