[MSB ROYS]

Half time. Sharks 8.4.52, Lions 8.2.50.

Just wish this idiot with the microphone would stop screaming. Doing my head in.

And I can't even hear the other commentator because his mike is too faint.

 

[M Malice]

Really good game so far.

Fab 4- Brain, Morris, Reville, Greene.

 

[McIvor]

McKenna should not be safe. He looked so underdone. Meanwhile Brain is humming.

This may seem stupid but the fact Shadeau lives with Will and Jaspa is no doubt exposing him to all sorts of positive things given how professional Will is in particular and no doubt those boys would be watching vision with him and other small things that can’t be understated. Get the boy into the seniors because he’s a bloody darn fine player already.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Getting annihilated out of the middle. Even up in there and we win this.

 

[JasRulz63]

Tunstill’s lack of form surprising given how he looked earlier in the year. Perhaps fatigued from playing a half on Thursday?

I think the lack of consistency wouldn't be helping. He plays a different role at AFL level than he does in the VFL, and mentally has had to get himself up for five games in about 17 days.

Southport runner egregiously acting as an extra defender btw. Thought their job was to deliver a message and get off.

Not shocked that Southport are treating the rules of the game like this. Corrupt club

 

[Section 5]

Tunstill needs to take a chill pill. Just the 4 disposals to half time.
Another good quarter of footy to watch. Except for our undisciplined 3 goal gift to the Sharks.
The Sharks at least gave us one back later.

Torrent after a good start pretty much unsighted that quarter. Reville and Morris also quiet.
Sharp still found the ball after a solid 1st quarter.
Brain a good quarter

Midfielders need to lift in the next half.

 

[AFLQLD]

Defensive running really helps teams to limit opposition scoring - radical but it could be worth a try. Some opposition teams seem to have good success with it. It seems not a huge focus for any Brisbane Lions team (AFLW gets a pass and U16 girls academy team actually excel at it, so they are excused). Every other team, try defensive running just for a change.

Not a well liked or respected entity in Qld football from what I hear. Very full of their own importance.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Blatant drop by number 5

 

[Nathan Barley]

Could get ugly if the midfield continues to be non-competitive

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Sharp basically willed that goal into existence

 

[Elixuh]

My ears are bleeding

 

[Nathan Barley]

That was awesome by Joyce to leave his man and great kicks from Reville and Manly

And HSmith with the finish

 

[AFLQLD]

Reville shows signs of being the sort of ball user that Kiddy is. Actually kicks with an intent rather than kicking in the general direction of a team mate.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Smith looks in some serious pain

 

[Nathan Barley]

That's deliberate?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Amazing handball by Joyce. Lloyd needed to get an arm in that tackle

 

[Nathan Barley]

Awesome Greene

 

[Nathan Barley]

Lloyd has looked ok apart from those 2 kicks

 

[briztoon]

I think Crossley is the best ruck outside an AFL list at the moment.

looks 40 odd and 150kg's.

Would spend the whole season out with "hamstring awareness".

 

[Nathan Barley]

Need this. Been wasteful the last 5-10 minutes
