My thoughts....

We are so bad at clearances it is sickening.

Teams do their scouting against us. Let Ward, Brown or Godfrey take possession, because they won't hurt you with their disposal.

Is Brad Miller's time up???

Either we don't work hard enough, or brisbane are exceptional at staying on our hammer defensively when we push up the wing, and conversely they are leaving our guys in their wake they push up.

Aaron Davey may need a spell at Sandy for disciplinary reasons.

What's that line Malthouse uses? It's not who is out, but who is playing and what they can do. We need to adopt that attitude.

Brisbane are a very young side, prob the same amount of youngsters we do, the difference is they have champions binding their team together

When you have Lappin, Brown, Black and Power in your side, you are always a chance.

When your best/ most decorated players on the ground are White and Robbo, you're in trouble!

Mind you, even with Neita, Bruce, TJ and Green, we'd still struggle.

malthouse is right, we have a team out there, they can atleast man up, brisbane are not that much better than us.

miller could not stop brown early on and i dont know who could have?

daveys punch was too the stomach not the balls. clearly from the replay. and while i wont say he is allowed to punch a player the bloke he punched was pushing and pulling him by the shirt while they were off the ball, and had been doing it since the first bounce. i don't understand why the free wasnt reversed however when the player came through and cleaned him up. also why didnt godfrey get a free when struck to the head behind play?

dunstall is an idiot. i cant remember his commentating from another time but saying things like 'godfrey deserved it, taggers are scum' doesnt warm my heart, or prove that he has any brains. we got 1 free kick in the first, and 1 or 2 in the second. we are getting smashed, and this compounds it. the commentators are ridiculously one sided brisbane.

mcdonald is captain, and playing alright, getting a bit of the pill. chook is our best atm closely followed by white dunn, and chunky. unfortunately none of those three are in the best 10 on ground.

dunn is impressing me more and more. good kick on him and he is going in hard. ward as usual is going in hard but his disposal is pathetic.

that isnt helped by our midfield which is getting spanked. we are not making space, we are not presenting, this makes choosing options very hard indeed. we are falling down across the HF/wing line with no one presenting. when we do get it there the forward structure is killed by brisbane players dropping back. we're not moving the ball on quick enough to use free space. brisbane are doing a great job of keeping their midfielders out of the way. they are obviously using their half forwards as the target across half forward leaving the forward line open for brown and co. the mids are then setting up outside the 50 to keep it in. similarly when we go forward, their mids drift back to block that space. is it because our mids are going in there too? once again (like the richmond game), brisbane have numbers on the opposite wing allowing a quick change of ends (and once again more space for the forwards). is this due to loose men? i don't think so, i think it is due to our unaccountability, but more for after the game.

GREAT GOAL BY DAVEY!

cj has lifted, davey has too, seems to have his mind on the job, we are doing well around the ground but need to get a few more goals before 3/4 time

There is the difference, jon brown throws his body at the ball at CHB and ward tries to toe poke it and J brown wins the ball and they take it up the other end for a goal.

Ward needed to put his body on the line and didnt.

Only a 29 point deficit. It isn't impossible.

All that hard work and Brisbane get a quick break and goal. Brown is definitely murdering us even though Carroll has done a better effort than Miller did (midfield dominance didn't help Brad though)

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
