POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Brisbane

[sisso 2,431]

Gambling line is Swans -19.5 so they’d have to smash that to leapfrog us

Why it has nothing to do with it, we achieved a win, players reaction with the chest beating means we clearly achieved our target of keeping them below a certain score.

you ever had anything to do with footy at a decent level and when you’re way ahead you start managing your players

Big win

no injuries

Good night but others always need to whinge

Of course it was a good night but a bit of the gloss will come off if Sydney edge past us on percentage. Last game of 2017 anyone.

[titan_uranus 23,242]

Brisbane average 97.5 points per game this year.

We held them to 110 across two games.

[dee-tox 4,831]

Mighty impressive performance.

Trac was back tonight! Our barometer.

Loved the straight kicking.

Luke Jackson's best game since Gold Coast game.

Beating up Brisbane is a good feeling!

Clarry maybe a Brownlow vote or two?

BBB brilliant.

Hibbo's job on Cameron.

May' physicality!

Hunt great game for four quarters.

Rivers excellent.

[dl4e 5,703]

Excellent. Now for the swans. Personally I don't care where we play them.

[Monocology 1,109]

Has someone posted simply 'STATEMENT!' yet???

How massive were Jackson and Rivers in their 50th matches?!

Rivers was unbelievable…that’s one of the best games he’s ever played imo

Who is mathematically able to work out how much Swans need to win by to overtake us?

Don’t reckon it matters.  Of course would be nice to be there at the G but travel holds no fears.  I think we are the feared again 😀

[Macca 16,174]

Well in the end we won 3 of our last 4 which is an excellent result, all things considered.  Pies the only hiccup but we'll have learned a lot from that loss

2 wins on the road against 2 top 4 aspirants as well ... 2 thrashings in fact.  Combined scoreline Freo/Brisbane 13.18 vs 30.20.  Away from home!

We've hit our straps at the right time.  And you need a bit of luck to offset the bad luck.  Close win against the Blues vs injuries to our key personnel at various times

And is that now 12 or 13 wins in a row outside of Victoria? 

We can win anywhere and we look very comfortable outside of the comfort zone. Not sure it exists in the minds of the players.  We are focussed

We are a very confident bunch, nothing intimidates us and our teamwork tonight was fantastic

Great to watch

GO THE DEES!

surely any team in the top 8 has to be worried about that performance. 

 

Oooh oohh.

 

Im not F ing leaving!!!

[Supreme_Demon 3,065]

Great game!

Kozzie a brilliant first half!

Fritta all class!

Neal-Bullen's projectile vomit was like a scene from the exorcist!

Dane Zorko's nasty personal comments to Harry Petty that upset him were pointless and didn't help the Lions one bit.

Anyway, a fantastic win by the Demons!

Onto the finals!

[Deestar9 1,435]

To all the naysayers out there …this is our game. To paraphrase “Binman” … listen to Goody in his pressers …he is or has built a team for finals footy . You don’t play that footy during the year …especially this year as we were also the hunted . Doesn’t mean we will win “back to back” but we will leave everything out there. So proud of that effort tonight & hope the disrespectful media contingent has a good look at themselves . I expect our pessimistic supporter’s will no doubt have heaps of criticism’s but a superb performance Dees 💙❤️

[dazzledavey36 49,803]

That was bloody fun to watch.

Even when Brisbane kicked those last two goals I wasn't fazed at all.

I reckon we went into conservative mode in the last to save from injuries and happy we did.

Go dees!

Week off, reset and get ready for our new season

Finals is a different ball game. Not to mention we want the home ground and home crowd advantage. After missing out last year I think we want our fans at the G cheering the boys on. 

Yes but even if we don't get the G in week 1 we will in weeks 3 & 4 😉😈

We’re the first VIC club to go 7-0 interstate in a season.

(I just made up that stat but I reckon it’s correct)

This post warrants the use of multiple reactions not just the one.

Yeah we lost that game, we won tonight

don’t  compare Oranges and apples, turn your lights off and sit alone wallowing in self pity, whilst the rest of us enjoy the win

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,166]

Ruthless!!

Loved the move of Harmes to Bailey at the first bounce, would have totally thrown them off when all the talk was about tagging Neale.

Had all the hallmarks of a Grand Final team tonight. Super stoked!

[rpfc 27,692]

Great win. So efficient inside 50. So patient but also brutally quick to space when they could go quick. Melksham is so smart, Kozzie and Fritsch are natural forwards and everyone else did their role well.

[Deecisive 1,674]

A great team performance, everyone is to be commended for their great effort, this is one of the top teams in the competition and we gave them a football lesson. 3 more games like that to take back to back premierships. Disappointed in the commentators, they kept stating that Melbourne was essentially beating up the poor brisbane players and zorko was being harassed constantly. I dont know how many times I saw Zorko tackled put the tackler into a headlock and would not let him go, or punch and push players and the commentators blame the melbourne players.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Going to be a great weekend, still three teams we could play in two weeks time.

[titan_uranus 23,242]

When we get it right forward of centre, we're still the best side in it.

26-26 inside 50s to half time for an 11-goal lead.

[rpfc 27,692]

The Saints should be looking to win by 120 points, hope some results go their way…

But seriously, if we play at the SCG - fine, bring it the [censored] on.
