Chook

My word what a kick-in from Daniel Rich.

Possible ACL to Hipwood. Awful for Brisbane, but also good news for any football sides who are hoping to compete against Brisbane this year for a Premiership (I hear this may include Melbourne). Yes I am a terrible person.

I think the coaches genuinely were not sure until last Saturday afternoon what our best forward line mix was. I reckon they knew that if we were going to go with 2 talls, it would very likely be Brown and McDonald; but they also thought "well we've done it both ways this year, so let's persist with the one tall for at least one more week even though it didn't look great against Essendon." Now they know we are better with the 2 talls, and they've known for a while that Brown will be that 2nd tall once his body is ready, which it now is.

The dogs are a fair sight better this year than in 2018. I'd fancy we're better this year too, but not by a massive amount given 2018 was a fair old year for us.

No change for the next 2-3 months hopefully.

We're the real deal people. Just accept it.

Brown + McDonald is like brownies and McDonald's - a winning combo.

Dees will come out firing after half time with that bs goal on the siren. We're in the box seat ladies and gentlemen.

How were the commentators surprised that was 50 to Pickett? Mark was paid, then tackle applied after the mark. Exactly the same situation as the Fritsch situation, but the commentators didn't say boo about that. Bizarre.

. Wrong thread.

Petty immense. Nasher, this might be the night I say I was wrong.

I'd love for Port to stop kicking bombs from outside 50 and bizarre snaps from ground level please.

We're in Brisbane 2nd half beast mode right now.

Can someone pour an entire jar of grippo on ANB's hands please.

The demons haven't lost to anyone that matters this year. People are quick to forget that.

Neal-Bullen playing terribly. Cost us probably 2 goals already (one conceded, one opportunity flubbed).

What on Earth is Hinkley doing with Aliir? Imagine us playing Steven May in the ruck around the ground.

UMP: Stand!!! Powell-Pepper: Moves 5 steps corridor side.

Kozzy breaks the drought. We're back in town baby!

Brown doubters sit down. He has been so important for us structurally. Harrisson Petty's best game every probably.

When the ball hits the ground in our backline you can basically mark it down as a goal against.

Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup. Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry. May immense.

Looking forward to a weekend full of great games or no football at all this weekend depending on tonight’s result.

Geez I've been a fan of Brown's for years, but even I've forgotten what a goalkicking machine he has been over a long period of time.

Not picking Brown after Essendon was a mistake, but an honest one - it was just one game. After 2 weeks in a row of poor forward connection, why compound the mistake? Just get him in, we all cried, and Goodwin did that. What do you want? A personally signed apology from Goodwin to you?
