The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020. 

Gee willikers, this team is so fit. 

Shizen coaching again from Goody to bring on Kynan Brown in the 95th minute of extra time

Hopefully this loss gives him the confidence to finally release the shackles given the season is done

We did not deserve to lose that.

What can you say...

Missing those easy, yes easy set shots came back to bite us.  As a whole the pressure and effort was what we wanted all night.  But gee, Petty and Langdon, but more Petty as he is a key forward.   Take some bloody goal kicking lesson and practice. 

 

Second week in a row goalesss in the last.

Smashed them in contested possessions and tackles but couldn’t win the free kick count.

Go defensive and we look toothless who would have thought

I know this will fall on deaf ears right now, but that was a cracking game. Both teams had so many missed opportunities. 

We had so many young players, we were always going to fade late. 

Disappointed with the result but proud of the team. Lots to work on though and a few clear gaps still in the list.

Vent away demonlanders!

Not ideal.

Good effort, lucky Lions missed some easy one, like our endeavour, but we lost.

Bloody proud

But I think our window has passed

Learnings, learnings, learnings

Sick of them

I want doings and winnings.

That's what counts

Petty and Langdon  missing easy shots that would have put us nearly 5 goals up lost it for us 

Good tackling, great 2nd quarter, great pressure. But yet again, when it mattered, when the game was to be won, set shots were missed, silly free kicks were given away and we couldn't kick straight to win the game.

We're close but no cigar...

spelling

Viney, Oliver, Koz, May, TMac, Tholstrup all good. The rest not so good. 

stopped dead in the last, no gas. 

Season done, but we’re not far off.

Umpires [censored] disgraceful. 

Lions, bunch of massive [censored]. Won’t win anything.

Edit: AMW also good

Well we gave it a decent crack, ran out of legs again though. Something is seriously wrong with our fitness program we have looked gassed in final quarters all season.

Cannot fault the endeavour though, happy with the way they attacked and pressured.

I really like the look of Kolt and AMW was good in his debut. Viney back to his bullocking best and Kozzie was electric.

I do not u derstand why Brown wasn't brought in for some fresh legs especially when we looked so cooked. Did we forget we had a sub? What's the bet he gets dropped next week.

You'd think Petty getting a 4 week suspension at his golf club that he'd spend the time off learning how to kick

100% correct

Hurts so bad.

Can't fault the effort tonight, that performance will beat most teams. Just ran out of puff.

Proud effort.

Don’t blame the umpires. Look at Langdon and Petty missing straight forward shots. Look at the forward coach and our inability to score in last quarters. Changes need to happen because we are not up to it

This was poor coaching in the last quarter by the coaches talk about just letting the lions remain loose so badly, a game we should have won.

I felt like the umpiring was incredibly inconsistent across the game. Marking in particular was so confusing.

Thought we'd lose the game by 6-8 goals.

Ended up shaking and nervous in the final minutes.

Some fellas stepped up that game yes we missed a few, but Brisbane had a few peanut brain moments in the forward line as well. 

Little unlucky the May mark on the wing wasn't called.

Also did Rivers run too far?

 

 

 

 

Well that really f ing sucks

Really disappointing last quarter, lost our dare and tried to play too safe, then missed the chances we did get. Only needed to kick one goal and couldn't do that

Can't really complain though, Lions were far worse and coughed up two dead set sitters in the final quarter as well.
