    some choice bigfooty quotes:

    • We play to win to the end and only and I mean only, do we start saving a game when heat is really on and
      its in the dying minute....no more. Playing the saving game with approx 5 minutes to go was totally ridiculous and cost us.

    • When the going got tough - Melbourne's leaders stood up, Gawn and Petraca took the bull by the horns, threw themselves into the battle and did the things that lifted their team mates, gave belief, showed it was possible. Well done them.

      When the going got tough - Lions leaders found holes and crawled into them, gave up, hid behind team mates and whinged.

    • The most gutted I think I have ever felt after a loss. I feel like I need therapy

    • Devastating loss. Will put me in a filthy mood for remainder of weekend.

    • Maybe we need to start wearing Brisbane Lions colours at the MCG to get over the hoodoo.

      • And rename it the 'Gabba.

    • Fagan should expect some tough questions in the presser around what the gameplan was in that last qtr.
      He got absolutely nothing of the sort. As limp as you could imagine. Afl journalists are not real journalists let’s be honest.

    • It's actually the opposite of reactionary. It's the status quo. We still can't get it done in big games away from home. We're still heading towards a 5th straight failed final serious. We still can't run out games. We still can't defend transition. We still go to sleep in the midfield

    • 4.2 to 0.1 in the last 7 minutes. The opposite of clutch. And another psychologically scarring loss for this group to carry.
       

    Not so cocky now.

    You didn't say they were in better form though. You said they were the better team.

    They can’t win at the G. 14 losses in last 15 attempts. Can’t even beat hawthorn. They have a 1000 pound gorilla on their back and until they actually win a game there I doubt too many people will have them as favourites.

    Their full record at the MCG since becoming the Brisbane Lions is 59 games, 16 wins , 1 draw and 42 losses.
    11 of those are in finals for 5 wins and 6 losses.

    The perfect career move Rab. Parachuted in from Baghdad to give 'real cred' to AFL communications with the broader football public.

    I know this might be unpopular but you have to admire the Brisbane cheer squad. I’d imagine a lot of them are from rusted on Fitzroy families who very begrudgingly came around, but they really make some noise when they are up and about. It might be because they see a lot of losses in Vic, but they really brought it on Friday.

    It’s interesting because in a way it helps make a really good argument for relocating another team away from Melbourne.

    I always love it when the opposition supporters start the chant (in this case LIons...Lions) and then lose, makes me smile a lot. Mind you they did start the chant in the third quarter, I thought at the time they might regret this.

    You’re right about that, THBT. Their cheer squad members are certainly proud and loyal. Their banner crew is full of super nice people. I chat in the race with opposition crews, almost all of whom are friendly. The Brisbane crew comprises diehard Fitzroy fans and/or the children of Fitzroy fans. There’s definitely a different vibe from the GCS and GWS ppl.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
