Red But Mostly Blue

Lions are red hot right now and we just don’t have any answers. If they were not so hot I’d say we can pull this back if we turn it up a bit but they’re clunking everything, kicking goals off a step, it’s just all landing and that is what happens when you’re a good team on the march.

Oh well, we’ll always have that first 10 minutes and 2021, right?

Lions hands just too good all over the ground.

I LOVE that Taj backed himself for that goal. Tough kicked. Great first goal, hopefully the first of many.

HOW ARE WE NOT MARKING THEM IN THEIR 50???????????!!!!!!

Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

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

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.

20-46 since our hot start. Might need to crank up the pressure again? Have to use our chances. Have been poor going forward this qtr.

Giving them too much room and wasting our forward 50 entries.

Poor from Spargo.

Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things

May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.

Firstly, WHERE HAS THIS TEAM BEEN? Great first qtr. Trac set the scene. BBB been a great presence. Secondly, goal after the siren!! 😡 WHY!?

We battled hard to overcome an injury ravaged St Kilda team. It’s an important 4 points but wouldn’t be mentioning this game again. Top 3: May, Melk and Trac. Taj did some nice things pity about the goal. Kozzie terrible. He looks so unenthused. Shadow of his former self. Will neee to be A LOT BETTER next week. Onwards, hopefully we find some form and belief while missing important guys.

15 metres my asssss

Who needs Fritter when we have Melk? (I’m joking obviously, but I actually really like him in the side and the truth is we’re going to need him firing so this is good to see, he’s had a good game).

… and we have come out soft. This team is so weird.

If we can just hold on (there’s no excuse they are 3 short), we can at least go into next week with something to think about. Uninspiring so far but some good things here and there. Have liked Melk. Kozzie terrible. Where is he?? Feel like he’s still in suspension mode waiting for a contract.

What a waste, we got out of jail and got done with a sloppy tackle.

I like Melk in the team, obviously especially now. But he leads, is clever and is about one of 2 or 3 who could have kicked that. Great goal

Trash from Rivers. Why???

Not out of the woods yet, the saints still move the ball forward too easily and too frequently. Lucky for a few misses and goal posts (never seen the top hit before?), but I’m happy we responded and our hands have been much better tonight. Taking a few marks around the ground. Brown is clunking them too which is good to see.

4.0 love to see it I almost forgot what goals look like

Nibbler might not be perfect but he’s one of the only guys who lowers the eyes. Good pass.
