Brisbane Discussion

I am still shaking since the Linc mark ahahahahaha

[Ringo]

You'll here the mighty Roar - and boy wasn't it loud at the Gabba this afternoon.

Most of the crowd rose with Lincs mark.

Wish umpires would let the game flow another 48 penalty game. Could not even fathom some went both ways though to be fair.

Adams is getting better with each game and good not to rely on Neale and Zorko with Clugg and Lyons lifting today. . Bundy will probably be out next week and feel sorry for him after striking form after being dropped to NEAFL.

I'm jumping on the train, our bus has broken an axle and lost a couple of wheels somewhere.


We are the pride of Brisbane town
We wear maroon, blue and gold
We will always fight for victory
Like Fitzroy and Bears of old
All for one, and one for all
We will answer to the call
Go Lions, Brisbane Lions
We’ll kick the winning score
You’ll hear our mighty roar!

Go you good thing.

What a season!

Bring on the finals

Couple of comments on todays game however will just post last years score against Richmond 16.14.110 to 2.5.17 so a big improvement in 12 months and bring on Saturday week.

Think we have improvement in us whereas think there is not much in the Tigers.

We need to ensure we restrict ball coming out of the forward 50 on rebound.  We had more inside 50s than Tigers and this just showed how easily they rebounded and goaled.

Second think is we need to make tackle stick and lock the ball up. The number of tackles broken in this game by Tigers would be a record. In one of Dustys score involvements he broke 4 tackles.  Tighten this up and we can progress

Another lesson learned on how to play the G against a good opposition hopefully is all that was.
Couldn't watch the game here, Charlie was quiet, a couple of things to work with come out of it
no doubt.
Still keen to see how they go in finals. I don't mind watching them play so as a neutral (thank God it's over)
I know I'm going to appreciate finals their involved in.
I love finals footy sometimes even more when you're not in it, no pressure haha just enjoy it for the footy.

Will be tougher for the Tiges up there Ringo and agree there was a lot of tackles slipped but you guys won the tackles 47 - 72 the Tiges can tackle way better than that if the Tiges can do it on the day is another thing and I doubt the coach would think there is not much improval in them we are a long way off 2017 form but should be a cracker of a game

This reminds me of the good old days. Nothing like a good 10 goal loss.

Geez what a season. Shattered with the result last night, but who could have seen it coming back at the start of the season.

Lots to be pleased with, and now we aim to win a final next season.

[Ringo]

here is our list after draft.




Lots to be exited for with depth we have. 

Here are links for our 4 draftees

Devon Robertson:  https://draftprospects.prod.afl/prospect/1009385
Brock Smith:  https://draftprospects.prod.afl/prospect/1009242
Keiden Coleman: https://draftprospects.prod.afl/prospect/1006059
Jaxon Prior: https://draftprospects.prod.afl/prospect/1009386

Really happy that Robertson slid to us, Smith helps shore up our small defenders and gives run, Coleman was the academy prospect we really wanted and Prior also boost defence depth.

Did not know a lot about Prior but like what I see.

Disappointment that we did not match bids  for either Cumberland or Martyn (Tigers quickly closing on Pies as my most hated AFL team) however I suspect we did not want to go into deficit.
To match Coleman we needed 483 points We used 47 and 59 after trade leaving us with 91 points for trade 59 and 51 with 125 points leaving 216 points available. Pick 43 required 378 points to match so a deficit 0f 162 points which is a lot to carry forward.

We were probably always going to lose one anyway if drafted as matching 3 bids was always going to be difficult. To be honest surprised Richmond bidded for Martyn so early as I expected him in the 50 - 70 range,

So overall happy with the draft despite the disappointment  of losing Cumberland and Martyn.

So we have room to redraft Skinner, Lyons, Eagles and Smith after Bombers scotched our plans to take Lacie Johnson which was always on the cards.
