Game Day Round 10, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

[martinson]

Frustrating to give them a real sniff for no good reason.

Did all the hard work and messed up what was easy.

Young Will doesn't like a hair out of place. Seems very pre-occupied with it first chance he gets. I loved how he didn't take any nonsense from that SUNS player....just threw him down

 

[Helicon1]

Tall fwds poor tonight.
Not sold on Gunston.Our delivery just doesn’t suit him. Yes he’s our 3rd tall decoy but he looks a shadow of himself at the ’s.
Berry and Rayner should not be missing those set shots.
Frustrates the hell out of me that out good players can’t kick those goal.
Big names players in big teams do that with double the crowd.

 

[martinson]

What have we done to deserve Brereton and Kelly what’s her name doing commentary .
It’s absolute torture .

I've muted it.

The both talk inanities.

I've been very calm since muting it

His pride in everything is scintillating.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rubbish.

Tackled him as he kicked it.

Ludicrous umpiring

You can't tackle someone without the footy and getting in his back made it worse. Always a free

 

[martinson]

Thank God we got hold of Dunkley ,Ashcroft and McKenna.

Ballard loving life playing on Gunston.

Getting done in clearances convincingly and O is getting smashed

Anyone slightly agile would

Hey Nino. Keidean’s 50th game tonight. Remember when you and I were the only ones talking him up when nobody else was interested?

Played with his uncle Willie Broome- best player i've ever played footy with. Kiddy was a gun at 11. Will play 250 games, what a gun.

 

[martinson]

Gunston's a total liability.

He'll probably bob up and kick one or two but just done once he doesn't get it.

 

[luthor]

Rayner is a number one draft pick - he should be icing those shots.

He's fallible like everyone else.

Plenty of high draft picks miss sitters.

Rayner's pretty reliable as a rule.

[Saucery]

Gunston has given our forward line structure, rather than three talls all flying for the same ball. Maybe he doesn't defend well enough or do the same damage he used to, but his legacy will be felt long after he's gone; like Hodgey did down back.

Witts is just too big and strong. Not many rucks can out do him in the tap. Best option is to outwork and outrun him. He tends to try and solo the game and runs out of gas

 

[Lace Out]

Bananary Peelery type affair

We need to get him in the game more. He's got the competitive itch and we have him skirting the fringes most of the time.

The defensive side of things is the real problem. It hasn't been our strength in the past and its just a question of whether we can cover for him

I have to think there are some others with form putting pressure on him. Rayner offers more in his role and would allow us to bring in more legs or an Ah Chee to play defensive forward role.

Rayner is the kind of player that makes others falter when they hear footsteps behind them. Rich is a great example of a player who took many years and a position change to become elite.

Think Sharp has looked a bit better again. Just seems to be learning well

Crikey Saucery.

From what Hodge did to what Gunston gives is the biggest stretch in history.

You cannot possibly be serious comparing Hodge and Gunston.

Yes but how many Hodgeys are there? I have no hesitation in saying his affect on our forwards leading patterns has been a big positive.
