GAMEDAY: QF vs Brisbane

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Even though we are winning this is being played the way the Lions want. 
 

our defence is a bit fumbly and we 2-3 goals against we’re just poor defence. Hopefully the nerves have settled and they have a better rest of game.

The crowd looks barely 5k, the fact we've had to move the game from our home game for this.... just another bloody putrid call by this tin pot business that is the AFL.

I take it back... the crowd is fine.

[BW511 2,724]

Cameron is a cheat, we need someone to sit goal side of him.

Think we were more comfortable at the intensity, pretty happy with that first quarter in a whole. Brisbane can’t sustain the chaos for 4 quarters

Not a bad quarter. Just need to tighten up on Cameron, kick the goals we should kick & have players like McDonald get into the game

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Jacksons mark tho....

According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third. 

Smith was standing on his own in the pocket like a headless chook. Salem was caught trying to help out because Smith keeps losing touch and winding up standing stagnant outside the pack. He’s causing our entire defense to lose shape. Need to get him the [censored] out of the team. Surely the coaches can see the experiment is done and finals is not the time for experimentation over proven form in Hibberd. Get Hunt or Hibberd back in next week.

Hibbo in for Smith

Not sure it would have helped. Smith at least has the speed.

Can't help but feel that some of these selections are for the long term, getting experience into the younger players.

Tmac has been useless

[Greendale 350]

Ugh could really just go for an easy win tonight. Brisbane's small forwards have been dangerous and they've been on top in the clearances. Need Maxy to lift, well beaten by Big O that quarter. Nibbler absolutely superb so far, making it look completely dry out there.

[P-man 13,366]

So seems a lot of Crows fans are at the game judging by the boos every time Lever touches it.

 

[Deecisive 1,709]

both sides playing well, thought they have a high reliance on charlie cameron, time to close him down tight.our ball handling has been pretty good, goal kicking has been pretty good compared to many games. Go dees

 

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Some centre clearances would be nice. Ones that don't go down Rich's throat

Garbage of the highest order. 

[Purple77 1,003]

A lot of highlights that quarter! It's actually insane how good this game is so far.

Boys have come to play.

Clean footy, will be interesting to see how we counter Cameron. Causing all sorts of headaches.

Need to make him accountable and not give him a free run

Trust them to go to the match for some free hot chips

Salem needs to take his diapers off and stop being cute.

Seems Salem might have been on Cameron. I Smith fails I'd give Bowser a crack.

[Chook 15,023]

Feeling good about the game, but we need prime Jetta out there right now to combat the Lions' defence.

With McStay out for the game, our backline is probably too tall. We need Smith to play short, which it sounds like he's been asked to do (now manning Cameron).

Rivers shaky. Bowey characteristically calm. Gawn quiet early but getting into it. McDonald and Brown both providing a good target.

I feel like all the Lions' goals have come from turnover. They're a good turnover team, but we're getting them more than they're getting us. Excellent base to launch the rest of the game from.

[Boots and all 1,000]

Viney to Rich, Smith to Cameron.

Smith just not ready for this level of game yet

Losers. What a joke to go to a game your team isn’t playing in just to boo someone. Seriously get a life.

Give him a break it's the first qtr FFS , a allowed Brown and Fritsch to get free

 

[Lord Travis 10,793]

If we can transplant a footballers brain into Smiths head, we’ll win this comfortably. Defense is struggling when the ball hits the deck, as Smith and Rivers are losing touch of their men. Tidy that up, and we’re sorted. Our forwards look dangerous tonight. 

[Cards13 9,117]

Lions are such a good side! Berry and Bailey are such good footy players.

We need to slow down the ball movement into Lions fwd 50 as we look under done in the backline. Hibbs not selected... hhmmm
