    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
