Match Day Thread, Round 15 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney Swans

[Mel_C]

Very sad first quarter. The Lions worked harder than us. When going forward they had a number of players running whereas we look stagnant.

Second quarter let's see a lift!

Got me beat about what Buddy is meant to do, marks the ball, gets sat on, gets up and gets told to play on.

[Wardy]

Well the Hawks are killing Freo!!! Gotta hope they all get the bad prawn sandwiches on the flight up next week or that a new volcano near Tullamarine erupts and all flights out of Melbourne are cancelled - that way they have to get the bus or carpool !!!????????

Refer to MCG for lone contender.

Maybe West Coast are the only other true contender cos at least they too kick goals. Swans do not use Buddy and Tippett as they should and the umpires won't over umpire everything Buddy does. If I were Buddy I would give up cos you can't fight the stupidest umpires.

[Bloodthirsty]

Totally agree and tell me what is the point of the Bondi Billionaires they are never in the forward line and if they are the passes to them are woeful as the whole opposition team us also there. How dysfunctional, slow and disinterested do we look. Start like that next week and we will be gone in the first ten minutes like last year's grand final.

Glad someone else thinks this as well. Just put Franklin, Tippett, Reid and Goodes in the forward line with rotating mids and be done with it. It's not that hard.

Yep good comment

We are soooooooooooooooooooooo boring.

Longmire has lost the players.

We need an inspirational coach to fire up the team.

[frankee]

Swans doing what is needed and nothing more

[annew]

Too defensive minded we need spark and players willing to take the game on.

[Foreign Legion]

Very, very ordinary half. It stuns me how the players think we can go from this to what Hawthorn did to Freo today.

Not much intensity and at this stage we look like 4th position at best. Longmire must be so angry as with some more effort we could still have a crack at the flag.

Lack of mongrel about our play if you ask me. Hanners Jack and jones have been good but we are missing mcglynn and the hardness he brings if you ask me. Too many soft players towers is the perfect example.

This performance does not auger well for the next two....BTW...I would like to know how they work out the draw these days....We play Hawks and others twice before we play Saints once!!!! (Last game of the year,,,,) Fremantle and WCE get to play easybeats like Saints twice.... Nit picking I know, but, in the good and fair "Old days" evry side played each other and then started all over again until end of season...A true "Draw"...

Robinson needs to be better than that if he hopes to keep a spot in the team! 2 goal turnaround.
