Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 24 2023

[The Fireman]

Hayes looked he was struggling for air

[desertsaint]

lucky joe,s having one of those days

[B.M]

We are getting murdered

[Mr Magic]

Geez they are big

[Brunswicksainter]

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

[Ghost Like]

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

[shrodes]

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

Ours is worse, kicking straight to them constantly, no connection with forwards

[Devilhead]

Very cagey game .... disappointed though with our forward entries that said with Max down there it might loosen things up

[Teflon]

Geez they are big

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

[Bruce G McAbee]

34 inside 50's to 15. We are being stymied badly here.
They're trying, but Brisbane are just a fair bit better.

[Ghost Like]

Hayes looked he was struggling for air

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.

[B.M]

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!!!

[SaintPav]

Inside 50s

34 to our 15.

[desertsaint]

just holding on. thanks in no smalll part to their conversion. still, we're alive. need to break them down.

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.

[The Fireman]

Bring on the finals

[B.M]

Windhager to Neale

Sinclair into the centre square

Pretty obvious moves I’d have thought

[perfectionist]

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.

[Jacks Back]

2 behinds only that qtr with a number of butcher's

[Bruce G McAbee]

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.

[Devilhead]

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

I’d kill to have even half of the shots they’ve had. Agree our defence has been a rock (as is most weeks)

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

King mentioned that lyons defensive set up is a beautiful thing

[B.M]
