Our midfield are nice pretty boys, including Bont. They need a big Rick Kennedy kick up the arse.
Apart from Libba this pretty much sums it up. The amount of times we stuff it up going forward from the mids is endless, then when things aren’t going our way they don’t work hard enough and are 2nd to the ball. We had our opportunities early but blew them. Brisbane gained momentum and bang game over.

No English, Baz, Doc, Caleb and Richards hurt… but we just don’t defend the ground well enough.

We will get unders when he leaves at year end. We were offered a 1st and 2nd pick but wanted 2 1sts. Will be lucky to get a late 1st now.

Just pathetic. Lots of questions that need answers for our demise in 2022 will never be asked. Changes are needed that wont happen.

No excuse though Easty this is how a lot of insults start and people just brush it off as frustration and didn’t mean it.

The reality is we have big holes in multiple areas and phases of the game. Off season will be very, very important.

Agree. Our delivery into F50 and turnovers killed us. Would have been nice to dominate the midfield but after Q1 that didn’t happen. I thought some of our boys kept trying all night eg West but our skills including goal kicking (4 gettable goals missed by Marra and Naughts - a fair way out but still gettable didn’t help either). With Lions one down on bench we simply were not good enough.
Dunks & Adz had below ave games. Lions paid a bit of attention to Libba after Q1.

Wow that's an amazing stat. I guess we were the last team to beat them.

Ed would have been the best option for Charlie on our list. Big loss. Hope he’s ok for next week.

That's fine, we took a needed gamble. We made a GF with his help last season.

Given Ed wasn’t even tried on Greene a few weeks back I’m doubtful that he would’ve been given the role.
And given our run with concussion there’s no chance he plays.

It’s true. Libba and the fellas stayed up all night making posters for the Roe v Wade rally on Saturday and that’s why we lost.
Unlike Brisbane who have the hardened racist edge of a baby boomer.

Charlie is very hard to match up on when the ball hits the ground, otherwise Scott did well in the air.
I don't think we have a matchup for him. Maybe we should have had JJ on him?

Also just noticed “embaressing” which honestly is amazing stuff.
