Bartel was complimentary. Gleeson definitely salty, cut off Caro a few times. Little man.I guess you hear what you want to hear

Anyone concerned about the number of marks taken in the 50 by the lions. They had 5-6 very gettable shots that any other team on the day could have slotted. Give those shots to the Weagles and we are in trouble

Yes and yes. We are playing short in defence (and Short in the backline ). West Coast can exploit. I think Broad can cover Allen and Vlastuin Waterman, but Floss got outmarked a few times on Saturday when punching would have been the better part of valor. If Hickey/NicNat drifts forward, and/or Darling or Kennedy get on top of Grimes/Astbury, we could be in trouble. And then there's the smalls - Ryan at least is fantastic overhead - none of our small defenders are.That's the one worry for leysy. West Coast are the one team left that have the ability to hurt us where suspectible i.e. multiple quality tall forwards.
Hope Geelong knock them out this week.
It's weird.I heard Bartel the other day speak about our game. Basically saying to the people who think we were lucky to be accurate and Brisbane unlucky are wrong. Richmond made their shots easy by good entry and Brisbane were forced wide by our set up.
It's weird.
The commentary during the game mentioned several times that we were trying to go through the corridor whereas Bris were going wide most of the time.......yet they all seem to have forgotten it after the fact.
For West Coast to exploit they'll need to get far more than the 44 inside 50s they managed against us last time. They kicked very straight that game 13-4. They definitely match up well against us and it will be a tough game if they're the ones we play in the prelim (likely imo). Grand final winner likely comes from that game.
So even allowing for that Brisbane could have scored more and got to 94 (in order to do that they'd have needed a much better conversion from outside 40m), where would we lose our points from. Bar Jack and Caddys goals from on or outside 50, what other shots were taken outside 30m at goal? In order to only score 97, our 18.4 would have to change to 15.7. So having said that, both of those goals would need to be misses, plus another one. Bearing in mind its hard to miss from on the line or 15m out and we already missed 2 from close in (Cotch and Rioli) I'd be surprised that anyone would say our score should have dropped to 97.I was wondering how Jono Brown and Healey would spin a 47point loss to their favourite team...
As their co host Paul Roos would say ..... Here it is!
Bloody lot closer than I thought. ... we just got in by 3 points. .... ffs will we ever get any credit?

What? Lining up barely 40 metres out with no wind?Just listening now. Michael Gleeson pretty salty, Bartel pointing out how easy our shots were and how hard Brisbane's were.

I'll never be in Qld Taz. Just by watching on TV, we kicked 18.4 and couldn't see us having a problem with wind.Hi TF, were you up there ?, I was & t was blowing a gale outside the ground, not sure what it was doing on the ground

Exactly. For nigh on 3 years now we have been a statistical anomaly. Before the game the commentators were raving on about finals being won by contested ball. You sure guys?I don't this constant argument that Lions are wining key stats thus it bodes well for future matches. Surely the argument is that if Richmond improve on some of those stats we will win by even more.
Dodgy Dimma voodoo. See ball, play ball. None of this faffin around in circles n havin hundreds of precise little ineffective possessions.Its like all we do is break all the rules of the modern game and still win.
How can this be????????
