  1. Why is it so ridiculous? Explain why else we lost against the Swans, cats and Pies? We cannot cope with the pressure. Whether the Lions can do it is another thing - granted - but it is plain for everyone to see, like it or not.
  2. It’s a hard area to target when standing up. He just needs to make sure he doesn’t go to ground where players will try to them jump on him to aggravate it. Just stick him down in the forward pocket. Brayshaw has him covered in the middle anyway.
  3. The only thing that the Lions have to do is apply pressure. 4 quarters of relentless pressure and then play their own style. It’s how to beat us…
  4. What are the chances that the Lions get up? They must be kicking at the lips to try and prove a point. Then again I’m a nervous supporter and the neutral will tell you that we are in their heads and we should win comfortably.
  5. What has happened to our turnover game? You cannot rely on clearance and stoppage goals all the time. This scoring source has all but dried up and it’s no surprise we rank in the bottom quartile in ball movement as well.
  6. We don’t play a brand that suits most forwards bar the ones who can crash a pack. If we put speed on the ball then it will create a lot more one on ones in our forward line. But then it exposes our defensive structure obviously and we get heavily scored against.
  7. I actually think they cannot. Salem is a mile off 2021 form and is really back to his pre 2021 form where he was just serviceable and would have a above avg game every 4-5 matches. Bowey is a great kick but is a small body with not a lot of speed. He may come good in a few years but at this stage his trajectory is looking to be more of a role player. Rivers , No. You may not accept this assessment, but to implement a fast ball movement game plan, you simply cannot rely on the guys above given what we have seen this year. If only Hunt was a more reliable kick and an a-grade decision maker.
  8. Him or Serong. We need to look to re- energise our half backline with speed and skill. Salem and Brayshaw won’t be the answer to speed up our ball movement and transition. If we can put more speed on the ball, Weid may have a chance to have an impact.
  9. What does Freo need to do to get a free.
  10. 2 weeks in a row going to miss the game.. this time will be 40000 ft in the air the entire game. What shizen.
  11. This one looks like a fixer.
  12. I reckon pies go out straight sets. In fact I’m jumping on Facebook to let them all know!!!!
  13. It’s the best outcome. They were both super but at least we don’t have to contend with the crowd.
  14. Kozzy, ANB, Spargo. Take note of the cats. That is how you apply pressure.
  15. Can the pies do it?
  16. It’s defending with ball in hand. Boring boring boring. Traditionally it was the game style of finals… I think we are seeing a new tradition being forged.
  17. Hope it’s Saturday afternoon. Nobody shows up on Friday nights.
  18. At least some good news.
  19. Was just thinking that. Surely you can setup a few set plays. May is a good kick and could hit a target outside 50.
  20. Cats soft draw on show here. They are just off it a bit.
  21. It would be best to play the Pies in the GF. It would take some of their fans out of it. obviously got to get their first and need the Cats to get up, which is looking unlikely
  22. Love the Pies booing Selwoods high tackle. The irony of it 😂
  23. Cats look ordinary
