Ooohh... judging from the crowd that sounded like it was a goal from McVeigh but just the one behind.

He's been very dangerous.... pity he hasn't kicked more... could have kicked 7 goals I reckon today.

C'mon fellas... no trash time give up...

Grrr... Brisbane lining up. That was all too easy. Kick, kick lining up and goal.

I know we're up by 61 points but I hate letting the foot off the gas...

BR spot on, we NEED to run these games right out

Surely Harding ran too far just then?

Brisbane are going forward too easily now. I know, I already said we're killing them, but our percentage needs a boost. And I don't like letting anyone back in, ever.

Alwyn apparently pulled up a bit sore in the right shin/ankle area, of the ground.

OH MAAAAAAN!!

Davey limps off, hurt below the knee.

Took some skin off his knee apparently.

Here's a stat - we've gotten 13.8 off of their turnovers, they've gotten 3.8 off of ours.

good to win - even better for me is the fact that with it being close at half time, it was us who after the main break took the ball by the horns and broke Brisbane's back rather than the other way round.

Great Result today but a lot of work to be done still.

Only listening to radio but it sounds like Brisbane were pretty awful!!!

Lloyd kicked to Copeland in the square going for a goal when he should've given it off to Scotty...

Resulting in a Lions goal.

Matty... teamsport.

Lloyd has used the ball poorly in the last few minutes. Every kicks has gone straight to an opponent.... and results in a Brisbane goal at the other end.

BOYS!!! PULL IT TOGETHER!! The game hasn't finished yet!

Davey is OK.

Geez we've really let them back in this last term, if you could possibly say that about a result that ended up being over 50 points.

Would've liked to have seen them remain goalless that last term

I'm so greedy.
