Riewoldt on Fox diagnosed it well; they were so riled up about ‘contested footy’ and how we have dominated them that they played distracted with ‘faux toughness.’ It made me really depressed for Fagan’s chances of sticking around post Tigers loss. I think it’s over.

Oh so he is a good player still??

Inflation is a nightmare…

Apparently…

I believe in Max… King.

I would agree with you if our example of deadly execution was when we were usually more fatigued in the second half; but this killer clinic was all done in 45 mins. In terms of factors that led to last night, the impact of freshness due to the completion of training intensity loading some weeks back is low. The greater factor was how bad the Lions defended and allowed players who hadn’t had time and space (or didn’t think they had time and space) to slow down and wait for a better option, and for our forwards to leverage that patience and lead to created space. My hope is that they now have a taste for it and it was a ‘tune up’ for QF1 against Sydney.

You threw up?! Hit behind play?! ZORKO!!!!!!

There were some nuffies on here that wanted him dropped a few weeks ago. What nuffies.

Love how committed he is and hope he just keeps playing like that for another month. Absolute gun.

Yes, it was Petracca saying that the Demons aren’t going anywhere and the rest of the competition can get [censored] and is [censored].

There is something unsettling about two grown men calling each other ‘Richo’…

I hope he talks about forward pressure, and decisions moving the ball into the forward line. Absolutely elite.

Elephant! Can you stop thinking about elephants?! What is wrong with you…

Goodwin punting to the AFL means he is pretty filthy about it - didn’t diffuse it, just played a straight bat. The Lions head of footy didn’t contest what was said - only that Zorko apologised and so did the Lions. The best thing that could happen for the Lions heading into a game with the Tigers is for Zorko to be suspended. Give them a chance to win…

The Saints should be looking to win by 120 points, hope some results go their way… But seriously, if we play at the SCG - fine, bring it the [censored] on.

Great win. So efficient inside 50. So patient but also brutally quick to space when they could go quick. Melksham is so smart, Kozzie and Fritsch are natural forwards and everyone else did their role well.

And he is playing well. Really happy for him.

Done all the exit interviews already… really interested to see how they play on Sunday.

Good on north. Back to them beating us 17 times in a row I guess.

It’s in good hands.

What do they say about ads for super? ’Past performance is not a true indicator of future performance.’ The reps from the club talk about forward connection as something to work on, and it is not a fait accompli that it happens like it did last year. We don’t have TMac, we are not consistently pressuring like we did, we are not getting forward turnover score like we did, we can’t afford to have an abundance of I50s and not make the most of it because when we have those impotent patches it actually gives our opposition a lift. We need to lower our eyes, look more laterally on quick plays, do more to get Fritsch open on slow plays, and when we do go deep, go deep enough to avoid Andrews (and then Stewart/McCartin/Broad et al). There is too much conflation with 2021 on here in my view. Lightning in a bottle was the last month of 2021…

Melksham named on the wing means Gus is there, nothing surer. Jordon looked laboured, despite what his running numbers were - Sparrow the way back in for him I think. Spargo and ANB aren’t in great form but from what I can see, the play roles that are not easily swapped in for someone unless they know where to go and when to go - mainly on defensive structures…

That contracts stuff I started many years back soooooooo @Lucifers Heroonly gets partial credit…

Yes, you’re right.

Yeah but Eddie sucks…
