Round 18 - Lions v Suns - Saturday 26th July - Gabba

[Jukes]

You don't need a tagger just to win games of football without Gary Ablett.

They don't need to switch anything, they were obviously going to make the finals before he went down so they'll just start again next season

Every team needs some one to try and stop damaging players call them a tagger or a run with player whatever but Hanley and Rockliff and even Zorko tore the Suns apart and they had no one to stop any of them  ::)

GC should make a trade for Macaffer :P

Just back home from the game and my first comment is where has that start been all year.

Comments are correct in that Hanley was left to run Broughton tried to go with him a couple of times but apart from that no real tag. Hanley rightfully won the Marcus Ashcroft medal.

Danny Stanley was running with Rocky all night but he really towelled him up.

Close showed he has the potential to be the spearhead we are looking for in Browns absence.  Merrett is not the short term answer either as his kicking for goal his rs.

Zorko, Green and Taylor showed what they can do when they work together and will be the key to Brisbane's attack going forward.

From a Suns perspective first look at Jack Martin and he really needs to put some beef on if he is to make it. Did not inspire me. O'Meara was running with Zorko a fair bit of the time as well and he showed he could not match Zorko for speed of the mark. Suns appeared to lack some direction and is this a result of no Ablett or no one standing up when needed. If Rain had not come think score would have blown out a lot more.

Crowd of 27167 from memory will be our highest crowd of the season showing that the Qclash is starting to gain traction.

Reading through the thread I think a couple of comments concerning Herbert were uncalled for and a general warning to be careful and not get personal.

Crisp is another mid who has been tearing it up in the NEAFL and deserved promotion. He will obviusly be on the fringes when Rich and Reddan return.

Must have been an enjoyable game to attend Ringo have all the big scorers in SC but what is going on with the Suns I expected a good close game being a derby , the lions players were fantastic Rocky is very close to the best mid in the comp but the Suns what do you think is going on with them ?

Was an enjoyable game Shaker. My opinion is no one really stod up to provide leadership in Abletts absence.
This probably sums it up
"The Lions led disposals (125-35), marks (22-1) and clearances (17-6) in one of the most lopsided quarters of football in any game this season.  (These are the first quarter stats only.)

and from McKennas press conference "Said they were insipid, smacked and out-worked. Told journos to write story how they wanted and he had no answers'

So the Suns need to put some work in developing a leader post Ablett if they are to be a top 8 side. Prestia tried hard but both O'Meara and bennell went missing.

My only regret was the size of the victory meaning we may get further away from the bottom and away from key forwards in the draft.

Let's make it clear that I'm a lemon tart and not a strawberry one.

How could Martin have played so little footy till this chance he is the complete ruckman at the moment  ???

Has always been decent.  Just often injured

Yep this and he was also stuck up forward, while Berger was playing.

Just to clarify Martin did not play forward while berger was playing as West was used in tandem with Berger.  Martin got his chance when West went down.  Lions match comittee will have a lot of soul searching to do when all three are fit. I believe if both West and Berger had not been injured Martin would not have played Senior football this year and was in danger of being de-listed.  Has put that to bed now.

I think they meant in the few games Martin played last year, ringo, when he was a spud.
