[picket fence 16,819]

Spargo USELESS as usual. Oh but wait he is a defensive forward! SPARE ME

Pickett in the team and a clearly undone Petty.

[von 1,510]

We look slower than them and they are supposed to be slow. We don’t have much feel, flow, confidence craft etc at the moment. They tightened up and we started second guessing ourselves. Only one quarter. Much to play out.

[chook fowler 19,304]

Never known a side to squander a lead like this mob. Pathetic to give up 2 goals in the dying seconds of both quarters. Hunter has a post football career as a butcher. 

[dee-tox 4,835]

Opened up like a can of worms.

Wings are vulnerable.

Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

Can't defend the corridor.

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

@binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

It'll be other reasons.

ANB has been killing us for weeks now, his turn overs and fumbles just ope us up on the rebound

[dees189227 12,310]

Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

[dazzledavey36 53,474]

Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

Marks win games.

Lions 60

Dees 38

That ain't good. How many marks the lions have taken in or fwd line compared to us in theirs is poor footy.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,515]

We stumbled pretty bad that qtr and to be fair the lions took their chances. We need to come out red hot and make sure we make the most of our opportunities because it’s looking like that kind of a night, where misses will cost the game.

Also what is up with our kicks to half forward? I’ve seen at least 5 where they have been ‘directed’, with time, to the chest of a lions player. Total waste.

[Gawndy the Great 9,010]

Outside the first 10 mins, Lions dominating. 

We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
 

Need to get the lead and lock the game down.

Zorko starting a fight and walking away. Classic coward troll behavior. I would pay good money to see someone run through him. 

I’d pay big bucks to watch someone cave his skull in. [censored] of a human. 

[praha 11,225]

Brisbane are a good team. We gave it a good shake.

[Nascent 8,820]

Petracca 7 goals in a game and a half.

Frustrating game to watch, need to tighten up on the turnover. Would be nice to see JvR and Brown together in the forward rather than one or the other.

Lever...one mark.

They're looking to go through Lever's man whenever they can.

The pressure has to come from up the field to curb them doing this to the favoured side of his opponent or so often

And they’re taking really strong contested marks, too! In some cases probably no right to have held onto them, but they have!

[RedLegs23 896]

Kozzy is playing like a lost boy out there. Terribly, terribly out of touch.

Yeah it was a beautiful set shot goal but besides that, In open play, he is totally lost!

fkning sad

What about marking man on man when they have back 50 ball Goody … it’s not rocket science how they walk out and score all there goals.

Marking grass is STUPIDITY!!!

This!!

[Maldonboy38 6,387]

Our good looks very good, our bad looks horrible. So many chances with ball in hand, only to kick it to a Lions defender. Great game of footy, but our mistakes could cost us... again. Our poor kicking into F50 has raised its head again

We need to cover Coleman more quickly. 

Viney is a weapon

Total jerk 

[chook fowler 19,304]

Kozzie and Spargo have to go

[Lord Travis 10,556]

Outside the first 8-10 minute burst, Lions have dominated. Our small forwards have been seriously poor the past two months. Kozzie looks disinterested and not going at the ball. Spargo jogging round aimlessly. Neither crumbing. Neither defending. We’re getting nothing out of them at present and getting killed on rebound too.
