Lift your f'n game 

Fritsch with two goals and pressuring well with limited opportunities is doing fine. 
Petty has been ok. 
agree with the rest

Weid is a bust.

Honestly would delist the bloke. Provides next to nothing.

Given the delivery though I doubt if BBB would do any better, and doesn’t chase or tackle. 

[DemonWheels 1,006]

Midfield needs to be fixed. Can still win it from here if we adapt to the tactics they’re using.

[Kiss of Death 733]

Need to win those clearances in the second half or we are toast. 
 

Lions playing out of their skin and as such, getting the rub of the green (Hipwood 3-4 times, you can’t play on ahead of the ****ing mark while out of bounds!!!! Jesus!)

[Devil In Disguise 2,258]

Can we do "changes next week" already?

god help us. What will you all say if we get up ?

"I always had faith" ?

[Demon Disciple 11,746]

Midfield being given an absolute bath.

Entry forward is very poor. It’s on the midfield to get us going. Hard to continually start our attacks from the back line.

[Lord Travis 10,493]

No point blaming the umpires. We’re not up to it tonight. We look tired and like we just want to get on a plane home.

Our midfield is getting smacked and needs to lift. We can’t get our hands on it!

Salem has struggled since returning from his week off.

20 points is doable, but need to lift this quarter.

I thought you’d given up hope? Still here I see.

[Mel Bourne 4,393]

Can’t blame the umpires for this. 
 

We’re just not playing with the same intensity as them. And boy does having no Langdon make a difference.

Not a sycophant perhaps but call a spade a spade fan boy

[Dee Zephyr 19,178]

I’d take Viney with one foot right now to put some Lions on their backside.

[Damo 3,257]

i think we are still in it if we can get our good players into the game. Clarry, Tmac and Salem

Thats a lot of players simply not playing. Flook urteen in fact. Its simply shades of 2019 sad to say.

I know the umos jave been shocking bit thats ten blokes simply not very interested.?

 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,437]

Only two ways this'll go:

- Lions start converting, we get smoked because it's flattering that we're only 20 points down.

- We work out we are being smoked and the boys lift and stop letting the Lions play this on their terms. Mids need to run harder, defence gotta communicate better. We need to lock that ball in our f50 and stop them waltzing the ball in their f50.

Got to stop being bullied. We look soft.

If you're having a crack at the forward line you don't get it.

We're scoring from 50% of our inside 50s, which is a better conversion rate than the Lions.

This is on the midfield.

We're -11 in CPs, -8 in clearances, -3 in tackles (despite being -43 in disposals), and -14 inside 50s.

No side in the comp will compete with Brisbane if the ball is spending the majority of time in Brisbane's forward half. 

And to make matters worse, when we do get the ball inside 50, it’s bouncing straight back out. We are defending poorly all over the ground. 
Brisbane, as I said, are a much better side than the Dogs. Strong across every line. Our forwardline is average at best and our midfield while good on paper, can get blown apart in clearances. We need to fix these issues before finals, or it won’t be a long campaign.

Still haven’t answered the question

 

[Boots and all 1,000]

Salem also not playing well.

[praha 11,132]

40 more possessions.

14 more inside 50s.

8 more clearances.

6 more centre clearances 

11 more contested possessions

30 more uncontested possesions

18 more marks

and on and on. 

We're not winning this. Brisbane is leagues ahead of the rest of the league atm.

Wiedermans positioning is terrible. You just know Brown would be better in the air tonight. 

Ha been saying it all along he HAS to play rest of season weeds hasnt and never will have it

Yep but they don't look anywhere near it at the moment. Petracca has tried but some poor disposal going inside 50. Clarry is the one, needs to win some clearance and and get them going.

Absolutely agree, it's clear as day were getting beaten around the ball and then on the spread. Even up this battle and it's game on for the second half.
