    Another scoreless quarter coming up? At least we're not getting blown off the park......yet.

    Rayner hasn't had a possession so far.

      Our best scoreless quarter this year
      Super frustrating but encouraging

      I don't think reid could drop it more if he tried

        All the hard work in this quarter for zilch on the scoreboard and then that.

          Super frustrating. We are doing plenty of good things, but being badly let down when the ball goes forward. Papley barely seen, Sam Reid can't grab anything even when uncontested, and rest of the forward line unseen.

                I have to laugh. That’s the best scoreless quarter I’ve ever watched us play. If only Buddy was fit. Reid good to be a Robin or maybe an Alfred but not Batman.

                  Our biggest gaping hole is that we don't have a KPF. McCartin has found himself as a key back, and reid has been trash this year. No presence and is dropping everything. A good kpf would put us right back in finals contention. I know we have Franklin but he only has 10-30 games left in him

                    Reid continues to be a useless liability and Papley appears to have lost all interest over the last few weeks.

                      I like Blakey in midfield - when he kicks it properly he has a great boot for clearing congestion and hitting a team mate.

                      And again Reid.... having a 'mare,
                      McInerney, apart from his speed, tank and kicking is a real good decision maker

                        Another goalless quarter ????.

                        Our forward entries haven't been good. Reid can't handle the ball.

                        The effort is there but we just don't have the skills.

                        Losing Taylor so early will hurt us. Hope we don't tire.

                        The Brisbane players love asking for deliberate when the ball goes over the boundary line.

                          Clark doing a good job on Neale so far. Not a fan of Hipwood - seems a bit full of himself. Charlie got an inch and took a mile, as the good players do. Some good signs for our young fellas.

                          Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                            Once was Robin but is definitely Alfred these days. Tonight should be serving drinks off the ground!

                              Think JMac having a very strong game. And Amartey doesn't look out of place. And our mids have done a great job on the Lions midfield.

                              But yes, we have problems up forward. We are missing Buddy & Heeney plus McCartin has gone back. Don't think Reid should ever be our #1 forward. We definitely need to be boosting our marking foward / ruck stocks in the off-season.

                                If Taylor has had a hot spot in his foot for the past few weeks why in the hell was he selected.
