You beauty!!!

Little did we know … but Jack must be feeling pretty ordinary about it.

You can read it both ways. No pain = good, so what caused him to leave ground? Instability = bad. However instability can be from any knee ligament injury = good.

I’m not a Physio or work in the medical industry but have read a number of clinical sites which are all non conclusive but suggest that a grade 2/3 ACL or MCL (partial / full year), the pain will almost always prevent you from walking unassisted. Whilst there’s always exception to this rule, given his walking without assistance and what looked like without a limp, suggests there is a good chance it’s only a minor tear to a knee ligament. This is what I’m telling myself anyway to make the minutes go by.

Im assuming the club would know by now. Max would have gone straight to Olympic park imaging from the airport as he lives on the peninsuLa so would have to travel all the way back to the city.

Am with you. Too much focus on a perfect season. We going to lose some early this year and ensure we are fighting fit in the 2nd half where it all matters

I’m sorry but the words and demeanour used by Goody and Richo in the media were not reflective of 95%. Something just doesn’t add up if that test wasn’t positive. I read that even a partial tear of the ACL is also essentially a reconstruction.. I always thought it was only for full ruptures. Which is perhaps what we maybe dealing with here.

I thought the same as well. I think we should expect the worse and hope for the best. As much as it sucks we do have an another AA back up ruckman… not all is lost.

I put that down to really bad planning , communication and leadership in the middle. the coaching group need to have a defensive setup to neutralise this part of the game when it gets out of hand. Goody and Yze were just too slow to react and we never recovered. A major factor was Grundy just not connecting with the mids - that'll get better as the season goes on. We win the hits for crying out loud but got pants. That’s two on the trot to Brissy …. Who’s in who’s head now?

Brisbane were red hot? I didn’t see that at all- it was a bit like Carlton last night - nothing impressive. We were not just a bit off. It was off by a long way almost 2019 like. The signs were there before Maxy went off, but perhaps the game didn’t take shape and we never really took the game on. The finish will give them something to hold onto but deep down they’ll know it was the Lions switching off.

Yeah funny how you wouldn’t know that we were missing 3-4 quality players, 3 potential AAs. I want to call out BBB. 8 goals in 2 games. Great game. Players will get a huge reality check, train hard this week and go into next week with an extra bit of umph. Defensive efforts were wayyy off tonight.

No front on? Umps cost us a couple tonight but we are not derseving whatsoever. Putrid.

Don’t be fooled, lions have switched off.

Then the first 3 in the 3rd.

Back to the game. Who is safe from being dropped? Lever is the only one I’d confidently say has had a good game. All members of the midfield a collective 2/10. Murdered in CP and clearance. Bowey servicable, Fritta a pass. Brown, tick. Thats it.

I don’t think you can read that much into it. It actually may mean the opposite.

There are losses and then there are losses. This is making the Lions look better then they are. The hype around us seriously gets to the players heads and we just turn up, expecting magic to happen.

OMc just letting Grundy tap it to their players. It’s freaking embarrassing this performance. No spirit in this team.

What BS

Brayshaw is a butcher - why kick to ANB !!! Like brain fade.

As expected. Done.

We will know one way or another if we have this kind of belief.

Too many passengers tonight. Hard to change in game. We really need to reach deep but I expect the Lions to come out and wrap the game up in the 3rd quarter.

I reckon he’s done it. You don’t have that reaction over a 4-6 week. Fingers crossed.

Just hate the effort , the passive , give up attitude. Just a stinker
