    Analysis Centre Bounce/Wing Attendance Megathread 2024

    I’d love for more Cam time but Berry is doing well so don’t fix something that’s not broken I guess. I was hoping for a Fletcher/Sharp/Berry wing rotation earlier this year so it’s good to see Sharp make some headways. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

    Review Round 9, 2024 - Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    Because he is versatile and is the first player to be shuffled to fill a hole when there’s been injuries (and there’s been a lot of injuries). Started forward this year and kicked a couple then Kiddy went down first game and then McKenna went down second game and more. Lohmann earning his spot...

    Review Round 9, 2024 - Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    Given the Ah Chee treatment of being thrown around wherever he’s needed. Ah Chee was down this year from being thrown around from his preferred forward position. Rayner has had a multitude of roles this year. Still kicked two behinds so had the chance to make an impact but just didn’t.

    Game Day Round 9, 2024 - Adelaide vs Brisbane Lions

    By five is not that much while we are also winning contested possessions by 11. Fairly even in that area. We look like we are trying to handball more which isn’t bad and has worked at times but other times has failed.

    MRP / Trib. Suns Powell Suspended for Homophobic Slur

    I understand you’re coming from a decent place but it seems like you’re ignoring the fact that there are people around who very much are bigoted and will other those who are different. It’s great that you’ve surrounded yourself with very accepting individuals but I feel like you are ignorant to...

    It’s weird because a lot are viewing this draft as us picking up direct replacements and less like filling in some depth in case it gets worse. Sure you can find diamonds in the rough but there’s barely one in each MSD and we have four picks.

    MRP / Trib. Suns Powell Suspended for Homophobic Slur

    This is what you’d call an explanation for the behaviour, not an excuse. We can understand what caused someone to do something but not excuse it at the same time. A lot of players would’ve grown up like this which is actually why it’s never been more important to take a stand against it. If...

    Preview Adelaide Crows v Brisbane Lions, Round 9, Sunday 12 May 2024 4pm @ Adelaide Oval - The Mother's Day Game

    The one silver lining to these injuries is that we get to see a lot of younger lads debut. Coincides with a poor start to the season so it also means it’s not like there’s as much expectations either. Lohmann has solidified a spot. Sharp is looking good and will hopefully get more games...

    Very good rotations for the injury management I’d say. Also helps that so many of our players have been taught multiple roles through their years so it makes the adjustment a lot easier.

    Review Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    I thought it was definitely there alongside a very good goal sense. His snap in the third showed that to me. A very high and powerful snap around the corner that made the distance easily and fast not just missed. For a first game player it was really promising.

    Review Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    Kiddy did his through contact. Doedee had already done it in his knee and one in the other. Gardiner and McCarthy have had past records of soft tissue injuries. I know people get concerned about if they are doing enough injury prevention but it really does boil down to s**t luck a lot of the...

    Review Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    I did a bit of a Cam Rayner watch last night and here are my main thoughts. With 16 disposals, 8 contested possessions, and 5 clearances I think he did really well inside. The main issue I found (and only counting the first half since injuries gassed everyone) is that he just stops and jogs on...

    9 clearances as well which was the top for the team. Had a perfectly good performance.

    Review Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    It’s a good laugh but I hope the club learns from this and makes sure at least one emergency only plays half a game of the VFL and also requires them to bring their basics if something happens.

    I don’t really agree with your first paragraph but I absolutely agree with your second. This season presents an opportunity to make some adjustments and blood some new players in areas that haven’t seen new blood in a long time. Personally, I think getting experience into one of our younger...

    Is it really the best option to debut two key forwards at the same time for the club? One who hasn’t played before and another who played three games for another club after being a mid season draft pick? You could drop one of Gardiner or Hipwood but dropping both will just lead to failure.

    Maybe we could give him the defensive role? Tell Rayner or Tunstill to go win it and put Neale out back where Dunks is to cover a loss. I’m not sure where else we’d put him. Half forward? Wing?

    Okay come on Dunstall was extraordinary and an all time great but the game has changed and he spent most of the game with only 4-6 players in the forward fifty playing one on one. Nowadays to get an open leading mark like that you need to do a lot more right or rely on the opposition defence...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Yep he played like doo doo and out of all our players it was clear that he was the most unprepared to play in the wet. He was sprinting at the ball and it always slipped past him and it sucked and it was frustrating. Doesn’t change the fact that he was playing like he did early last year...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    I’d say Neale is the only one that shouldn’t be leaving the inside midfield since it’s the only position he’s really suitable to play. Dunkley spent years forward and Clugs is a good high half forward as well. There’s not reason they can see more time in those secondary positions while others...
