Rd 14 vs Brisbane Lions @ Gabba - Match Thread

[Mel_C]

They have forgotten about the dissent rule. It should have been 50 metres.

Keep Fox deep for christ sake, absolute star down there,may as well sub him in his current role

[redstarforever]

wtf? why don't they show the replay of the free kick to daniher instead of goin back to the previous one scumbags

[AB Swannie]

I don’t agree with you much waswan but Fox on the ball or forward is not working. He’s lost.

[waswan]

Ladhams is the number ruck too, Hickey is done

Yep, forgot that one in my list of lotteries, and the ruck lottery someone else just pointed out.

And of course the one that hurt us last week - the "Come back, come back, come back, another metre, thanks, OK stand there" vs instant "that's 50" lottery.

Go back a month and he was our best defender

why move the guy ?

That one Blakey should have got came a minute or two after Rowbottom got called in a flash through the middle.

Don’t mind if they’re called (I’d much prefer fewer frees each way) but just some consistency please.

Big O nice throw.

[Swannette]

Lloyds kickins are becoming a liability, sadly

[Danzar]

On a side note, I think Eric Hipwood looks like a pale, stretched version of Rafael Nadal

Good on Sheldrick. Gonna be a gun. And bravo to Blakey for that play when he went back and crashed into the post. That takes serious commitment.

And as a few others have said, Fox in front of the ball ain’t working. His instincts don’t kick in the way they do down back.

Not able to watch tonight, but flicked to AFL website to see we were leading by almost two goals when Wicks deselected himself for two weeks.

What a foolish time when Heeney is out and Franklin could be out next week too.

[Velour&Ruffles]

Big O nice throw.

Sorry, yet another one I should have included on my lottery list.

With a mere 4 field umpires now, throwing has never been more rife. Yet never less penalised. In reality, the lottery is that they penalise about one throw in hundred. Anyone who gets done for throwing should feel aggrieved and unlucky, because the vast majority go unpenalised (or even praised - "quick hands by Clayton Oliver/Tom Liberatore" being the prime example. Both are complete cheats).

%^&* this game.

I suppose that Brisbane's inaccuracy keeps us in it? Don't really expect us to run over them, but it'd be a famous victory if we did.

Fox doesn't have a matchup down back. He has to play somewhere. He's a very versatile player, but he's just not having a good game.

I don't know why we don't put McLean back where we need the height. Our tall forwards aren't doing anything anyway.
