Review Elimination Final, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[OldLion]

The Logan miss was bizarre. It was like he didn’t realise where the mark was. He went so far back and then tried to kick it the ball into orbit

Got way ahead of himself .. lesson. Don't fritter away all that hard work from your mates. Show respect.

 

[OldLion]

To the back line with Hipwood. Need another tall down there and he is only a handy forward but could be our answer down back. We cannot defend when things are going against us as we have simply lost too many defenders

Agreed. We need to recruit back line players - like the Hawks appear to be doing. They grow on trees @ Saints but we cannot keep an intercept marker on the paddock. It's too easy to stiffle Harris when he's one out.

So is that coward sniper Cripps getting reported for his off the ball hit on Berry ?

He got fined

 

[Perrip]

He got fined

Of course Newman didn't get a ban for his hit on Neale.

 

[Section 5]

Morris (melee) gets fined the same as Cripps (striking)

 

[martinson]

Of course Newman didn't get a ban for his hit on Neale.

It was cited as body contact. He elbowed him in the throat with enough force to knock him over off the ball.

Cripps gets away with coward acts off the ball by not hitting anyone in the head. But he got off when he knocked Cal out anyway, so whatever.

I just don't see how coming from behind a bloke off the ball and striking him across the body with enough force to knock him over is the same as participating in a melee. If one of our guys did what Cripps did to Cripps it'd be all over the media with calls for a suspension.

This tweet needs a warning- I clicked on it expecting to read about Payne and the words ‘defender done for the year’ jumped out at me and my stomach dropped, only to realise a second later they were talking about a Hawks defender and there wasn’t anything new about Payne. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.

Got me as well

There was that game earlier this season when Hipwood started and I thought "ooh, he looks angry for some reason" and he went and took all those contested marks and kicked goals and everything. Did the neighbour's dog poop on his nature strip? Did his girlfriend burn the toast? Whatever it was it should happen more often.

My daughter calls it his cranky pants face. Always plays well when he is wearing it.

Yes, Eric needs to get his panties in a twist more often.

Disappointing by Mitch; even after he's left, hes creating a circus for the club. Probably best if the club unwelcomes him for a number of years.

I love robbo but he comes across as an angry ant a victim.
F this f that cool your jets robbo
He is too aggressive.

He's done a vlog about it where he takes zero accountability for his actions last night. No surprise.

Yep. Pathetic.

Team seems scarred by those horrible fade outs - I know I am. Demons 2023 Pies 2024 at the G ( well anything at the G ).

Look at the bright side though - Rayner, Kai, Morris and Cameron all stood up to turn the tide in that Q4 rather than completely giving up. I think the signs are there on team getting comfortable again with handling pressure.

More importantly scoring is starting to return too. From 124 vs Saints, we fell to 64 vs GWS (24 scoring shots), 78 vs Pies (23 scoring shots). It's starting to move in the right direction again with 87 vs Bombers (32 shots at goal) and 99 vs Blues (with 29 scoring shots).

I think we are primed for a 30+ scoring shot game and a 3 digit score in return. If we kick that well, we'll win.

 

[BRAB]

Yep. Pathetic.

Was surprised that he made it sound like he deleted the tweet because too many people were attacking the lions in the replies when anyone who read it only really saw people having a go at him.

100%. Nobody was attacking the club.

 

[Whatamark]

He got fined

FFS protected species - wish we had one. Do not count our Charlie in this given his scrag to free kick ratio.

Lloyd just loves getting stuck into us.

Still salty over the 2001 GF loss

Catching up on some footy programs and Sunday Footy Show again demonstrates its biased. Barrett defends Newman and says it’s Lachies fault and Newman just defended himself. No mention or footage of Cripps cheap shit and Lloyd again saying we are the only team that can’t win it. Maybe true but Lloyd just loves getting stuck into us. He’s one of love to stick it up.

Phew, thanks Lloydy ! Was worried you may back us in as we dont do that well being favourites. Just need Kingy to do the same and we'll be sorted.

"Carlton have two of the all time great forwards of the last twenty years" ... just not sure where to start with a statement like that!

That was the one that caught my ear too. The first half was really WTF as to how anyone can seriously hold that opinion, and then the second half was clearly trying to walk it back, ending up all WTF hilarious.

Made the mistake of watching that and they really don’t rate us at all .

Hopefully we prove them wrong and hopefully it’s a non Victorian GF .

That would really upset the pro Vic media .

Decided to watch the game again last night after being there live.
Few things I noticed again
Overall we were the better team the entire night. There was a period we went 1 goal 9 behinds, the rate of inside 50s didn’t change … we just started missing, our inaccuracy is bad and if you’re an opposition supporter or whatever you’re going to sense a mental fragility from it. But even if that was 4.6 it would’ve been dead and buried.
You could say that with Payne off, they got slightly more contested and uncontested marks up in the wing inside 50m but that’s the only change.

Next hippy. I like Hipwood and I stand up for him when my mates criticise him but even I couldn’t make any excuses for Saturday night.
His ball use was pathetic and he stopped our chains multiple times. Usually leading to a turnover and Carlton inside 50m and score. When he got the ball I reckon I counted 4 unpressured clangers that resulted in Carlton scores. Not saying we drop him or anything …. Just my observation of the game. Unsure what to do with him and at this point of the finals what can you do ?

Joey was great defensively! Bailey actually played well. Good to see Ashcroft again just play quality football.
I think if we can just sort out the misses patch. Then we are complete. Banking on Payne playing.
