Uncontested possession and tackle stats tell the story. No run or intent. Lions are made to look like millionaires without pressure.

This was the thumping that we've been building to with all those close losses against good sides. Having no forward line to speak of takes it out of us, and with injuries and tired young bodies it's the perfect storm.

Why does Dwayne find it an amazing story ? 18th vs 16th.....up there ?

Agree


All well and good but he sucked us in big time. Murphy more interested in rubbing into the ground then actually defending.

This is the wake up call.
hang on, we did this against them last year.
If this isn't cause for a PP the AFL is a joke.
Brisbane got one with no worse credentials last year.

The thing that really worries me is the lack of pace and the lack of desire to run the ball as a result.
Our fastest players are in the twos because they can't play chippy chippy and nobody will let them run. If Pickett and Boekhurst were allowed to pay outside and just run with it, they would be in the seniors. Maybe. We are showing that a defensive zone does NOT work if opposition players are prepared to run the lines and the gaps.

ANy other era and we sack the Coach. What disgraceful skills, structures, zoning, manning up.

They cannot be allowed to do this.


He has enough credits in the bank but he is being exposed a little.

The way we move the ball forward is disgraceful and when any team runs at us and attacks we have little answers



Not actually advocating it; just highlighting this is a Pagan like performance who also died (formally) up at the Gabba.

This is as poor as we've played since the last month of Malthouse.

It's like we are trying to be more attacking however we have no idea. We only know how to defend and even today we can't do this.

Very stagnant, struggle to hit targets and the leaders have let us down.

It makes a huge difference when your senior and best players turn up to play

We got ahead of ourselves again

Relying on Gibbs, Murphy and Cripps to win games goes pearshape when you suffer injuries and poor form

The reality is we still have a crap list and still have a long way to go

Collingwood just hit the front with 2 mins to go.

Eagles tried to ice the game with 5 minutes on the clock... choked it big time and to top it off, the Bummers are in the 8... and they may stay there :mad:

To be fair it is so amazing because we are so terrible and the lions have won 3 games for the year
Dreadful performance and embarrassing for supporters
Every bloody time we go to Brisbane we do this
