Anyone knows what's Brisbane's record at Adelaide Oval like?

Tom Sparrows last quarter was huge. Won some crucial one on one contested marks and his tackling pressure was immense. Petracca gave him a pump up after the gave due to the sacrificial role he plays in the midfield. I know he had to kicks smothered, but I thought he was really good last night. Pretty special he gets to play a qualifying final in front of his family next week.

Absolute star.

Joel Smith is still leaky for me. I'd have Hibberd come in to do the lock down job on Cameron.

I'm bloody emotional. Take a bow Simon Goodwin. This is absolutely on you in being able to motivate the players to get back into the game. To our leaders, Max, Lever, Oliver, Petracca were all immense! Was really strong throughout the game that they simply needed to stand up and they did. Season 2 starts now. By Monday morning my attention turns straight to Brisbane. Soak it up lads. We're bloody minor premiers since 1964 💙❤

I love you Ben Brown!

I'm [censored] crying!! 😭😭

Salem [censored] himself and was too scared to pick up the footy. Soft

Been banging on about him all year. Can't stand him as player.

You couldn't find a more bigger front runner then Bayley Fritsch. Happy to beat up on the lower place teams but goes to water against top quality sides. Absolute front runner. Just the 3 disposals. McDonald is absolutely pox. Back to his 2020 form and moving like a crab. Brayshaw is absolutely hopeless footballer in general.

Totally embarrassing. Leadership complete failure. Midfield and defence got tore a new one. No one willing to put a body on Dangerfield or Hawkins. This is Preliminary final 2018 stuff. When the heat is on we just capitulate. Mentally weak.

Because he is a hack

Oliver, Harmes, Petracca, Viney and Gawn. Hang your heads in [censored] shame. This is absolutely on the midfield. Lever and May have been woeful. Leadership non existent

This was also you about Kozzie Pickett last year. Your judgement over the journey has been horrendous. Leave the footy chat to us big boys hey. Doesn't get the ball, doesn't kick goals. Didn't do it at U18 level either. Gives away frees, average skills, poor decision making. Some of that will improve obviously but he's not what you'd want from a high draft pick. Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

What's Pendles connection with Melbourne?

They had a few out that night. We were full strength.

Mitch Gorgiadias has pinged a hammy. Huge out for them.

Here come Port..

Doggies still look sluggish to me. Their forward line is a mess without Bruce.

Boaks had 21 disposal this first half..

Honestly reckon Port are a chance here. Clean up their goal kicking with better forward entries and I think they can beat the doggies.

Looks nothing like him.

Liam Duggan would be worth a look.

Yeah look when i think of Paddy Dow I instantly think back to this article about Greg Williams when he worked with Carlton. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/09/07/blues-great-tells-young-midfielder-to-pull-his-finger-out-and-toughen-up/

My honest opinion I actually think they'll potentially use him to lock down on Jeremy Cameron potentially. I say this because he actually did the Job on him last year and kept him to 1 goal. By doing this again frees up Lever and May even more. The more I have thought about in the last few hours the more I'm slowly starting to understand this selection. Now does this also free up Petty as well to use his strength in being another intercept role? What you see with Hibberd is what you get. But I think Smith offers that flexibility to play on the smalls and also with the talls. Maybe they are happy with Rivers, Salem and Bowey as our run and carry? I think coming into finals the club may want to use Smith on a more lockdown role just because I think teams that we play in the final will put heavy work into the Lever/May combo.
