Lions definitely want it more.

The commentary has been favourable for Aliir but I feel he has simply done ok without distinguishing himself, which is fine, by the way, for a first gamer playing a defensive role.

Serious trouble now. Frees for Brisbane creeping up as well. That goal was a direct result of a terrible decision.

[bloodspirit]

Ludwig, perhaps you will be less complacent about playing relatively lowly ranked opposition in future. The coaches are always saying you only need to be slightly off and any team can beat you.

[bloodspirit]

How warm is it there? The players look red and sweaty.

[Blue Sun]

Sinclair has done his knee. Wow. That was just awful.

[gossipcom]

The way he went down. Ouch.

[barry]

Sinclair ran off so at worst a posteriar ligament. Doubt its an ACL

[bloodspirit]

Too close for comfort. But great experience for our young players.

[barry]

Aliir didn't have a shocker but doesnt add much. He'll probably play next week but we would want to go into a final with him this year.

[gossipcom]

Of course people on social media are mentioning bad sportsmanship for calling for the stretcher and then him running off. To be fair the Swans probably called for it before it had entered the Lions 50 and then it came to the umpires attention.

[barry]

I mean wouldnt

[Blue Sun]

Scraped that win. Swannies had 2 less scoring shots and probably deserved to lose. Very lucky!

[undy]

Great effort by the Lions. Always liked Bell and crazyman, glad that they are playing so well for the Lions.

[bloodspirit]

It was our senior players that got us over the line today. Hope there is a sense of urgency and concern not complacency among players and coaches after that. Would not be good to repeat the dose next week against the Dons. But I think we'll do better at home.
