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.

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

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!)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
