Brisbanes decision making in fwd 50 is terrible. We deserve to be in this game.

Is there a greater fable than Webster's laser like disposal?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Very cagey game .... disappointed though with our forward entries that said with Max down there it might loosen things up

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Yep much more size
Snashed around the ball
Neil killing us
Don’t see the point of kick to top of goal square cause no one looks capable of marking except Andrew’s
Surely we just practice entries lower eyes stuff?
Gone now game over but must practice what we want in finals
“Yeah….nah””

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
34 inside 50's to 15. We are being stymied badly here.
They're trying, but Brisbane are just a fair bit better.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Yep, poor Hayes appears a mile off it at the moment. Understandable and obviously running out of opportunities to see how he's travelling before finals.
I suspect Caminiti would have been selected if available.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Can’t transition the footy
Breaking down HB-C
Sinclair is getting a job done on him - so can’t move the ball
34 i50s to 15
23 clearances to 11
Getting killed!!!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Don't agree at all. Almost all of their behinds have come from taking brain dead set shots taken from unkickable positions. All credit to our defence who have been enormous.shrodes wrote: ↑Sat 26 Aug 2023 6:38pmOurs is worse, kicking straight to them constantly, no connection with forwardsBrunswicksainter wrote: ↑Sat 26 Aug 2023 6:32pm Brisbanes decision making in fwd 50 is terrible.

Windhager to Neale
Sinclair into the centre square
Pretty obvious moves I’d have thought

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Dud. It's a pity Daniel McKenzie hasn't had a few more games in the seconds. He's still better than Webster, as are 99.9% of AFL players.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Sat 26 Aug 2023 6:37pm Is there a greater fable than Webster's laser like disposal?

2 behinds only that qtr with a number of butcher's
As ex-president Peter Summers said:

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
We need to learn from this because Brisbane are where we want to be.
I just don't want to be going up to Sydney for our first final in front of crowds since 2011.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
Still in the game
We aren't seeing the run and gun that we have seen in the last few weeks
It's like we are just happy to play conservative footy not giving much away
The game may loosen up in the 2nd half

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
I’d kill to have even half of the shots they’ve had. Agree our defence has been a rock (as is most weeks)Brunswicksainter wrote: ↑Sat 26 Aug 2023 6:43pmDon't agree at all.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023
You need to win the ball at the contest / midfield once again we know this is our Achilles…
Our fwd 50 entries /transition has struggled but see no point bombing to Harris Andrews
Anyway good hit out who really cares not gonna win
Let’s just get no injuries
Geez if we had a gun midfielder or 2 …what a difference
