We had a 12 minute burst (last goal was 16th min mark) followed by 10 minutes of being too cute and sloppy.

[mightytiges]

Dusty marks 20 out. Goal. That's his 5th

Ellis too cute after taking the defensive mark coughs it up. Fortunately they miss.

84 - 11

[mightytiges]

The Tigers have had one less defensive half intercept, but have outscored the Lions 5.2.32 to 0.2.2 from this source.

Brisbane has won the clearances (15-6) since half time. This is largely on the back off Stefan Martin, who has 6 clearances for the game.

Houli to Rance in the centre. Short to Cotch. Long to FF. Georgie paddles it to lambo and he just misses the kick off the ground.

85 - 11

[mightytiges]

We get another turnover. Houli to Conca to Cotch 55 out and finds Georgie in the pocket. Squares it and Brisbane rush it.

86 - 11

[mightytiges]

Astbury to Conca to Short. Good kick to Towner in the centre. Off to Butler who runs and is mowed down. Turnover but the Brisbane set shot is OOTF.

[mightytiges]

Frees: 23 - 25

That's 7 - 14 since half-time.

[mightytiges]

Geez, junk time started early in this one.

Our forward entries since midway mark of 3rd qtr are not finding a target and being cleared by Brisbane.

Brisbane get their second.

86 - 17

[mightytiges]

Cotch to Dusty out of the middle and Towner marks 30 out. Goal 

Rich  13.14-92
Bris    2.5-17

That must have been the first time Dusty has been in the centre square today.

Is there such a thing as a disappointing 70 odd point loss.  Feel as though we were poor going forward and should have won by 120plus.  First world problems, I know.

The last qtr and a half has been very ordinary.


Mind you we've suddenly woken up again and Lambo kicks our second in a minute.

Prestia mows down Rainer. Wide to Macca. 1-2 with Houli. To FF. Caddy through traffic to grigg around the corner but it hits the point post.
