Post Match Review thread vs the Lions 2026

So many bad/poor teams in the comp AFL need to do something

McKay, Reid and McGrath are terribly defenders. Blakiston has no idea.

Just counting down the weeks until we fire the coach and hire another poor replacement.

So you’re preemptively defending him now?

Nino, mate, your Scott crush is creepy.

This game was over about halfway through the first quarter. By that time it was obvious that only one team had turned up.

Hint. It wasn’t Essendon.

Might not be too bad for Caldwell

Only really us. Richmond are young and have poor injury list. WCE and Roos getting better

There is a big assumption that McCluggage would have developed the same in our team as he did at Brisbane.

I think there is a gap from 8th-18th it’s becoming a 3 tier comp

Our drafting from 2017-2022 is criminal.

This is Brisbane’s biggest score since 2024.

Brisbane 64 Inside 50s

Prior 2 tackles
Kondogiannis 2 tackles
Blakiston 1 tackle
Roberts 1 tackle in the dying minutes of the game
McGrath 0 tackles
Reid 0 tackles
McKay 0 tackles
Farrow 0 tackles

That’s some serious defensive pressure right there :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

Thought Duzz had a crack today, Caddy is cracking in and Robey looks strong in the contest. That’s all I got really.

We’re a poor team and the improvement is difficult to see right now.

It’ll be a long year ahead.

I just don’t see how we can persist any longer with a coach who fails to motivate the players to make an effort.
