Brisbane Lions 2013

[Jim05]

Clay Beams has done his ACL and will miss the rest of the season

[Johno6]

It's bad enough doing it in a game. But training

Very unlucky.

[valleys07]

Shocking news for the lad.

[Baron Greenback]

Devastated. Was just starting to make an impact in the team.
Hopefully he goes for the traditional recon.

[Baron Greenback]

Already, I think we are out of finals contention.

Our midfield is serviceable but our defence can't halt opposition run-ons and we haven't got enough reliable avenues to goal.

Voss has run his race as coach too. He's tactically deficient and lacks the guile and cunning required to manufacture wins.

Forward delivery is diabolical. You work your arses off only to kick it haphazardly inside 50. The opposition then generates run from their backline thus putting more pressure on what I think is a pretty good defence. With the ball bouncing back so often any defence struggles. I haven't seen your time inside fifty stats but I'm tipping that you aren't holding the ball inside 50 as much as your opposition.

The problem is up forward.

Spot on. Defence is great, midfield ordinary, forwards woeful.
Had the ball on a plate from Leuenberger on Saturday but got smashed in the clearances.

Cornelius needs to play. Voss needs to give him 6 weeks and say the spot's yours to take.
Lad's got enormous talent, but I'm afraid he could turn into a Kosi at this rate.

[Baron Greenback]

A loss this week to Melbourne and I reckon Vossy could be gone.
Luckily we're a different side at home and should win, but if not...

[Rik E Boy]

I had these guys in my top eight. FAIL.

Haha I had them just outside. They'll be lucky to finish above GWS if they play like they did yesterday all season.

[Johno6]

How far away are black and staker from playing?
Didn't they play reserves last week or something?

In that case a loss might be for the greater good.

[Squids]

After Melbourne the Lions have a horrendous run. Could be 2-11

that would end Vossy' coaching career imo.

[Booney]

No need for a report to be commissioned. These guys are Gonski.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Too early to right them off yet.

GAWN
Really tough draw coming up. After Melbourne I cant see them getting close in their next 9 games

[Baron Greenback]

Yep. Season over I'm afraid. Unless Vossy has some miracle solution for half the team being crapola.
Really disappointing after the promise we showed in the second half of last year.

If Voss goes, I hope they chase Roosy.

[lincolnsdirtysecrets]

writing teams off after round 4 is fraught with danger. give them a go

If you watched them play against the Dogs and Roos, you'd be saying the same thing.
It's the lack of effort and desperation that's surprised me.

[lincolnsdirtysecrets]

premiership hangover?

[Johno6]

Rich has broken his scapula. Whatever that is. Will miss 8 weeks.

Keeps gettin better.

I think that's shoulder. Are Melbourne a silly chance this week????
