Red But Mostly Blue

Wtf petty?

That’s one bang all that remains: bang bang bang bang bang bang + 1 point (or another bang I’m not picky)

Just 7 more in almost 9 minutes? bang bang bang bang bang bang bang + 1 point?

If you’re going to have just one disposal for the night, maybe make it a goal…

So they’ve been talking about being a team we can be proud of. So far, no. Not tonight. The last few weeks of wins don’t count. Today is a real contender who has had a few bad weeks. Grand finalists. Who nearly and maybe should have won. We need to strive for consistency. Having a dip every single week. We’ll lose some of course, but this is not acceptable for a team who wants to contend. The deficit is likely too much. So. Will they play like a team that will make us proud or continue to serve up this slop? We got smashed everywhere again. Even tackles. The lions were clearly hungry. Are we?

These holding the ball calls…

Think we might have been drinking some bath water this week. lazy, uninspired football. should have stayed in Adelaide

How have they walked that straight into their 50??? We are straight up hot garbage tonight

HOW THE HELL IS THAT HOLDING THE BALL!??????????????

Outmarked by Rayner? Poor

Ok glad I didn’t watch much of that qtr. It may be self-punishment but I’ll watch after half time to see if we’re actually going to do/change anything. Midfield need to pick up. Take marks. Run the lions ragged. Kick lots of goals

Might turn this off. We’re not it tonight. Might check in later if I’m brave.

Fancy the lions serving up slop so far this year and here even hipwood is having a dip. To be fair though we are helping them along. Midfield getting thrashed, defence pretty poor. Sloppy, no marks, lots of passengers. Positive? Kolt looks the goods. Great kick to Fritta

I hate daniher’s face but I’m hating our defence work even more. Getting creamed, losing clearances and no marks. Really poor

Defence being creamed by Hipwood 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Are we going to take a mark?? Why was Daniher ALL BY HIMSELF?

How good!!? NIBBLER!! Nibble nibble nibble and Kolt has been right in it, looking good!

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO!! LIONS FOR DINNER!! LET’S GO, BOYS!! 🔥

3 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES TO GO... ...UNTIL WE UNLEASH THE KOLT AND HAND OUT SOME PUNISHMENT (SORRY FOR CAPS, INTENTIONAL - PUMPED)

Ooof just wandered through that f******** thread... Think I'll stay on here today, and that's saying something!! (Unless we're getting smashed, in which case I might go clean out the garage) (We won't get smashed - We'll round out the pre-bye with a gritty 3Q arm-wrestle, capped by a runaway 4Q) Dees by 24pts!

This is true. But the reality is we won't escape the year without injuries. I hope McAdam plays a lot this year, but based on his history, he may not. Factor in BBB out from time to time, which will require a little shuffle. Plus, Melk plays such a good defensive forward role - there will be games we'll need/benefit from that. It's a long season, I am guessing we will need his experience at some point (provided it's not at the expense of our entire forward line becoming unavailable, again!).

ABSOLUTELY!! We'd have another flag if Melk and/or Petty didn't get injured. Aside from having those guys injured right before finals, and Fritter clearly not 100% - it would have been incredibly disruptive for the team to have to continue to move magnets/adapt strategies before/during finals. Our forward line is already looking better, even though it's only still settling. Imagine 2-3 months with Petty/McAdam finding rhythm, and then Melk to return in good time to find his feet and form for finals.

LOVE THIS ❤️ I was so happy for the boys - it felt like one of those galvanising games and great to get one back from the Lions after the 2022 final. So many involved, but how good was it for Melk to have his moment? Completely deserved it. Such a quality footballer and seems like a real nice guy, too. Can't wait to have him back. Oh and I still love Hipwood trying to claim that final mark!! 🤣
