Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs - 2021 1st Semi Final

[jeemak]

Yes, he needs to be more nuanced with his stop and go, fast and slow game.

[The Underdog]

Baz taking the advantage was a good decision. We had them outbumbered and on the hop. The kick just sucked.

His dump kicking into forward 50 is the glaring hole in his game atm (aside from the fact that he can’t handball) but he was brilliant tonight. Ran so hard and kicked goals. Was massive. Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come.

Bevo has won 17 of 91 of winning games when down at 3/4 time.

Pretty amazing.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

WE'RE IN A PRELIM!!! I'm going to bed. Love to all.

[The Underdog]

Ok can someone tell me the Bonts ok because IM FREAKING OUT !

He was playing it down in the interview. Feel like he’ll be out there. No idea how fit he’ll be

[Twodogs]

Two Dogs in the air.....Jesus.

Me??

Gee Trealor looked terrible tonight.
Looked unwell, way off.
Hope he can bounce back

28 touches last week. Hopefully it was just an outlier. He has been getting better every week before that.

A genuine nerve shredder that…

Hope Bont is OK
Too much tension to really enjoy the game - one to watch tomorrow on replay, enjoy, and then post some thoughts.

Hopefully Cody is able to play. Head knock, not concussion apparently.

Clearance and contested ball numbers are unbelievable. To turn that around from qtr time after Oscar got on top is astonishing.

Do we have a problem closing out games? At 8 points up with repeat entries we shouldn’t have let it get to the frantic finish. Geelong and Port games both had similar moments. Felt like everyone was trying to win it themselves when we had those chances to ice it.

English is playing his part but he could do so much more on the air, same as Naughton who really started throwing himself at it late.

Thought JJ made a difference when he came on with his pace.

If Bont plays sore next week it actually gives us a chance to get Treloar on ball. I really don’t think it’s his fault or the match committee. We couldn’t rotate anyone out of there. Libba getting tagged actually gave him a chance to manipulate the stoppage set ups and put someone less dangerous in there. Couldn’t take Macrae or Bont out either. Treloar struggling in other roles but we knew this when we got him. It will turn for him just needs to control his effort. Thought his tackling lifted.

Easton Wood has been huge the last two weeks. Experience really shining through, thought he was stiff early on two of the Cameron goals.

Good practice for Ports army of smalls tonight. Brisbane are really good at ground level goals and we held up well.

Macrae metres gained stats on top of everything else he did. What a player and his return to form has kicked us into gear as much as anyone. Much cleaner the last two weeks.

Two strong tackles in the last quarter - didn’t quit on it, still working to find his best

Yes, a mile off. Multiple soft efforts and silly things. Clearly not fit. Not sure we have anyone better, available who who played recently, but gee… Adam needs to improve on that effort.

Tempted to watch the replay now...... no hope of sleeping after that game.

[Go_Dogs]

Bailey Smith up front was very effective.

His speed critical a number of times and despite some poor field kicking at times, even his poor kicks got through the goal posts tonight. He has a knack in front of the big sticks.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

BTW, that last boundary throw in within twenty metres of Brissy's goals resulted in the first hacked kick of the day that actually went to one of our guys.

Nuts.

I was worried it would go straight to a Lions player.
