Makes you wonder what to make of the game vs Bris last week
It means that instead of playing abysmal defensive footy, we should have attacked them hard like the Hawks did.
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

That's a tiny bit one-sided. The Lions applied fantastic pressure to the Swans in the first half last week. It doesn't completely excuse the tentativeness of the Swans on the rare occasions when they did have clear possession but the Lions were pretty good. Today they were pathetic.
The Hawks were very good today but still over-used the ball and missed targets but were able to get away with it because there was no pressure coming from a very flat and lethargic looking Brisbane team.
It is a bit of an extreme comment, but our game was still very defensive when the opportunity to attack existed. I note also that the Kangaroos-Pies game wasn't the ugly scrappy scrimmage-ridden affair of our game against the Roos either.

I wonder if our result against them took something out of them. Anyway they were slaughtered in the midfield, Everitt dominated the rucks and Mitchell and Crawford the clearances. They'll be a different side though when Brown comes back and Black gets a few games under his belt.
