Not sure where to put this so started a thread. For those on here who say changing game plan takes time I just laugh. I frankly think its pathetic. 'Oh it takes years to ingrain a new game plan'. It is just excuses for poor coaching. And to back that up Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data talked last night about the Brisbane Lions . For the past 2 1/2 years they have been the bottom 2 for aggression at moving the ball forward. The bottom 2 slowest moving ball team in the competition. Chip Mark, Chip mark. Uncontested marks, short kicks before getting the ball 50 to score. 2023 3rd slowest , 2024 second slowest The first 12 weeks of 2025 they were the 2nd slowest in getting the ball forward. The last 6 weeks they are the 4th most aggressive side in the comp. A complete change of style. In season. All during this time they have been a regular finalist and won a flag. How is it that the Lions can make a complete change to their game style in season? We have been told on here that it is impossible. here's the link you can listen for yourselves. We can barely recognise what our game plan is. Apple PodcastsFull On Footy Analysis with Champion Data's Daniel Hoyne...Podcast Episode · Sportsday · 15/07/2025 · 43m

The Bailey Fritsch from the North Melbourne game is a required player. The Bailey Fritsch from the previous 2 years not so much.

Better still, drive on the footpath, its much safer

Well we did get beaten by both North and Essendon .....

Watch this space.

So Xerri has put Max down a couple of times, hit Jefferson with a forearm to the head, hit Lindsay in the head and Concussed Sparrow. When the [censored] does the AFL hit this guy with some serious sanctions.

Maybe a bit harsh on the one trick pony. He's never really been able to play one on one though and now he's slower of body and mind it's really causing issues for us..

I would check your meds if you see any resemblance between Jefferson and Buddy.

9:32 to go in the 4th qtr, boundary throw in just after the Kolt scrap in the fwd pocket

Lever is a bit of a one trick pony and too prone to brain fades. All of his career. Its just that now he's slower it he can't hide it anymore.

Pretty sure you know exactly how it will pan out. Favourites in regardless of preparation.

Just watching the replay and Xerri did the same thing to Jefferson in the last (1h:55 into the replay). Same swinging arm. Less impact. There should be extra weeks because he had form. Thats also the problem when the umps don't pay a free to Jefferson. He thinks he can get away with it.

You can't debate with Simon181 he lives in an alternative universe

And he didn't just put his arm out, he swung it

Love is blind

She's qualified because she waved to him at training once

Beating the 16th team should see him made coach for life

Extraordinary. Our trajectory as a football club is atrocious. And still with 15 premiership players. We are on a downhill slide and there is nothing but the same old issues repeating themselves. Then the happy clappers come out and say 'Oh, it takes time to change a game plan' A new game style is barely recognisable and senior players have been the worst offenders in terms of poor performance. Fritsch played a great game on the weekend but has been terrible for the better part of 2 years. Anyone that says its not acceptable to call it out is deluded. Another measure that is terrible is to look at players that have improved (excluding 1st year players). The list is staggeringly small All these things are on the coaching panel.

And his arm was miles from the ball

He played well. Just infuriating he hasn't been doing that for the better part of 2 years. He is a great player when he plays like he did today. We just need to see more of it more regularly.

Gee the commentators went soft on him. Football act, split second BS

Fritch playing a very unselfish game good to see

Lever aaarrggh

Ump no 7 has not paid 1 kick to us and 6 to NM

Not really. I like Langford but he avoids contact
