[mightytiges]

Shocking kick by Brisbane. Straight to Jack and Dusty is wide open. Goal 

Rich  15.14-104
Bris     2.5-17


That's six for Dusty and he's off into cotton wool.

Townsend tries to give it off but stuffs it up. Nope it's paid a free to him for a push. Goal 

Rich  16.14-110
Bris     2.5-17

If we're ruthless we'll be gunning for 100 pts.

Conca, Lambert and Townsend were all better this week.

Cotchin was clearly BOG. Dusty is all class too.

Good all round game. Defence was much better today. Prestia had a good run.

Not much opposition today.

To only concede two goals is pretty amazing. That might be the lowest score kicked against us Ive ever seen.

[mightytiges]

Our percentage jumped by almost 30%. Now up to 3rd on the ladder for the time being.


Our immense pressure and ballwinners demoralised the Lions from the get go and they just fell to bits. As someone posted during the game, that was the worst performance by Brisbane for a while (credit to us). They've been mostly competitive under Fagan without winning until today. Junk time came early and we started to get too cute and lairising for about a quarter and a half after half-time. Thankfully we woke up again in the last 10 minutes and blew the margin out to 93 pts so we enter the Melbourne ANZAC Eve game with our heads screwed back on.

ps. It looked like Dimma used the thumping to experiment a fair bit. Dusty played FF for almost the whole game and it felt like Butler spent more time in the back half than usual.

Very good game by lambo, quality rev up from some of the boys on here 

[Rampsation]

Good percentage boost will be handy at the pointy end of the home and away season. Brisbane weren't much chop at all, I felt we were
ok but a fair bit of our best. Our pressure rating was only 180 ... I think in the finals last season we were well over 200. With Rioli and Broad to come in. I think our best is in front of us, 3 and 1 its a good result so far this season. A win against Melbourne and Collingwood sets us up big time for the season ahead.

Not sure how you fix up a broken ahole but the Lions better find a good doctor after that game
