Rnd 6 Match Day Thread. Brisbane Lions V Sydney Swans. 1.10pm at The Gabba

Sitting back watching the game in the lounge room of Ludwig in Chiang Rai. I can report that he is not a fictional character and is a very good host and a good bloke, and has a very nice wife.

George gets a lot of high frees doesn't he?

Slow start but we have now settled. We can't let up at all and lose percentage after the big wins by Geelong and gws.

My thoughts also. Hopefully will settle and steadily pull away from here.

Yes and it looks like Kirky has got the forward pressure working very nicely. All the forwards are harassing very well and it almost looks inevitable that something good will happen once it goes in there.
Also really enjoyed Mitchell's sharp work around the contests.

Dropped his knees for the first free but the second was simply a poor tackle.

George is stepping up today (helped by some of the frees) but good to see. And Buddy already almost at four goals after the first quarter (making up for not getting his average last week)

Excellent! A toast to you all from my lounge in Sydney.

Yuck, looking well below our best today.

[Mel_C]

Second quarter has been terrible. Have hardly been in our forward line. Getting smashed in the clearances.

Yay we finally kick a goal.

Wet weather will do that. A number of times the boys have tried slick handballs instead of kicking long and locking it in.

Can we lobby the club to offer Simin Black a coaching contract he can't refuse? Not only would I love to see him in red and white, but he and Kirk together could be incredible
Note: tried and failed to find a photo of Black and Kirk's jumper swap

True but Brisbane look to be handling it better, and our effort looks down on where it has been.

It's a disgrace that a main AFL ground doesn't have cameras in the goal posts. There's no excuse with all the money they make.

Should have muted the tv earlier with Dermott and Alistair barracking for the Lions. When they started talking about the back pocket when it was at the Swans' end, that was it!

[aguy]

I hope hewett and jones are ok.

[dejavoodoo44]

Tend to think that we'll overpower them in the second half.
