We appear to be interchanging Jackson and Weid on the bench rather than one resting forward.

Perhaps we will see a change

We got better as the quarter wore on but low quality fare from both teams thus far

Playing poorly but some woeful umpiring. What really give you headaches is soft frees to them eg Daniher, downfield then blatant mark play on. I know I have red and blue goggles but we get shafted week in week out

Weid looking better in the ruck and around the ground than Dogga 🤣

Funny you say that, I counted at least three times he didn’t even make a contest in the ruck. Either forgot to contend in the forward line or completely mis-timed his jump. He is trying though. It just feels like Dogga isn’t switched on.

Said all week Weid should take most of the ruck

Weiderman & brown lead to the same spot. Why? Separate & create space.

Petracca can’t play in the midfield when he’s not fit. He looks moles off it. He was absolutely spent at the 20 minute mark of that quarter. Something is very clearly wrong with him.

May as well put him forward and roll Koz and Spargs through the guts.

We're showing the run and dash of a Tweed heads prawn trawler 

I don't know how we're going to magically get good from Q2. Unsurprisingly, the same issues remain, but worse, because we don't have maxy to save us with his work around the ground, clutch marks etc. Both our goals have been mayhem/lucky. 

Going to be a long 3 quarters if we don't come out with a better gameplan, and some cleaner skills/forward connection.

Lever looks better

Sparrow looks better

however our fwd pressure is still terrible

Thought we blocked their run well in the last ten of that quarter. Was a real good patch by us, with the exception of ‘connection’…need to build on it.

Showed a glimpse in the last few minutes but we are just so sketchy with all facets of the game. 
Why are Brown and Weideman playing so high?

Because we have no marking target coming out of D50

Was a clear touch by the lions player prior to sparrow marking it

What about the Brisbane guy ripping sparrows head off a split second later

I like Jordan, but needs to get better at hitting targets, both by hand and foot. Turning it over too much at the moment.

I think a little composure will go a very long way in this type of game.

Weed looks slow.

Spectates the ball after the first effort

Needs to get the feet moving quicker

Have to limit Lions centre clearances. Way too easy.

This is a very poor 1 vs 2. You wouldn't believe it if you weren't told the positions on the ladder.

No sign of any attempt to change up our ball movement. So predictable, the opposition set up waiting for it and we have to hope to win every contested ball to move forward. 

Screw the umpires. Run harder, make more options, win more contested ball, make more chances.

Lithotomy?

if we dont lift it will be a lobotomy.....

Brisbane had 7 shots from 10 entries. We had 5 from 13.

We badly need to tighten up defensively if we're not going to quickly turn things around offensively.

To be fair we haven’t looked like a top 2 side for a month or more.

It would be good if Bedford or Pickett could get there hands on the ball this quarter

Brisbane threw everything at us that quarter.
