WB Game Day V Brisbane Lions R11 2020

[Scraggers]

In any other season playing two top four interstate teams on their home ground and getting these results maybe more palletable? Trying to find some balance.
I'd back us against Port and Lions at Marvel.

I agree wholeheartedly, but I also had to walk away from the T.V. A couple of times tonight. So very frustrating

[Sedat]

Scoreboard flattered us tonight. That was as poor as all our other losses with the exception of Port.

The 'handball club' is obsolete. The top teams in the comp move it quickly, gain territory and then lock it in their forward half, whereas we are the opposite relying on precision delivery and 'attractive' goals. If we can't hit a target the ball trampolines out of our F50 with ridiculous ease.

[chef]

I feel that there are signs of a good team with a good core of young players. We need some complimentary players. Really need our mids to step up.

Yeah no doubt we arent good enough to challenge for the flag but we are a young work in progress and are heading in the right direction.

[whythelongface]

We had a fair crack and showed more endeavour in the 3rd and early last, well prior to cue in the rack.
Previous weeks this would have been a 50 hiding.

Nah cue was in the rack early in the 3rd once they got out to over 6 goals

[SonofScray]

Boys ran the game out. Credit there.

Time to clean out our coaching department. Either sack Bevo, or sack Grant, or sack King. Or Maple. Or Graham. Make a change FFS.

[DOG GOD]

Our game plan is just not going to cut it with the big boys.

Yeah Dunkley was awful tonight. Complete no show

[kruder]

Loving Bevo's move of Keath onto Hipwood in the last quarter. Talk about timely.

[Bulldog Revolution]

A plus is I feel we have fought it out Tonight and not capitulated.

Yep completely belted in the centre square in the second quarter - unacceptable - lifted in the second half thankfully

Some poor positioning and work rate at times tonight - overall too many passengers but some positive signs for some - always something to be achieved in a game of footy

Bevo is nothing if not stubborn

[angelopetraglia]

As terrible as we were tonight. It’s easy to forget how weird this season is. They are living in their homes. Training in their normal environment. Playing on their home ground. It’s a massive advantage. We are like nomads. Without a home.

Even West Coast struggled with that. We should keep that that in mind as we judge the team and this year.

[whythelongface]

Yeah no doubt we arent good enough to challenge for the flag but we are a young work in progress and are heading in the right direction.

I reckon you are right. It takes 5 or 6 years to build a premiership list. We won 2016 literally out of nowhere which may have given us false hope for immediate sustained success. We have had a high turnover since then and it takes time to build up the list. Probably 2022 will be our next genuine tilt. I just hope some of the other teams don’t overtake us.

[whythelongface]

Yeah Dunkley was awful tonight. Complete no show

Both he and Naughton will take time to find form after their injuries. Due to the nature of the season they may not even be 100 %.

No mate, everything's normal!

Of course we'd do these teams at Marvel. We'd do almost anyone there if playing well.

To me this isn't one to melt down over, nobody thinks we're as good as Brisbane and we really shat the bed in the second quarter through people in our team who should be leading not leading.
