00:00what about the brisbane lions steve-o what's happened to the mighty lions harden up fags you
00:05want a big decision you want to call yeah yeah i think fags has never dropped anybody has he which
00:09is warm cuddly grandpa fags which is fair enough and it's worked i mean you can't disagree with
00:14that i'm a bit flat because i picked the lines i just expected the bounce so this is this is
00:19tips
00:19driven is it yes no but i just we thought it was going to happen surely yeah we did you
00:23know with
00:24a rev up during the week that they'd come out hard but even from the start free i looked the
00:27better side was just the way it was and i read a team at the moment yeah but you think
00:32that with
00:32that they were probably oh wow i looked at it free are due for a loss to 10 in a
00:36row comfortable with
00:37themselves a long trip to brisbane they had every right to maybe drop one brisbane were playing for
00:42everything up there in front of their home crowd couldn't get it done uh they're doing a lot of
00:45chip chip chip stuff chip le grant around the back line 15 meter kicks that were being called by the
00:51umpires so it's someone in the umpires department being alerted to this half because i'd never seen
00:56that before a lot of play-ons with what brisbane were trying to do i'm all for it because too
01:02many
01:02times we get kicks that have gone eight meters nine meters being uh paid mark which is not right
01:06they should be trying to make errors long if you know what i mean when they're trying to measure
01:10the distance of kicks rather than allowing the short one they're just saying oh well just take it
01:14yeah so make them make them earn their 15 meters i think it's a good thing and brisbane are that
01:18kick mark team that's how they've broken teams apart for the last couple of years
01:22but now we just dissect teams with their elite kicking skills but if they're forced to keep the
01:26ball in motion through play on calls and not get into 15 meters it does change the dynamic a little
01:30it was more obvious than what i'd ever seen before though the way they were doing it and this is
01:34the
01:34fact with zorko out of course he's a big one and i at what he's mid 30s now zorko you
01:40keep doing
01:41quads at that age half i don't expect well if he gets back this year this question marks on zorko
01:46and they can't cover him uh he uses the ball so well he's their outlet player at the moment
01:51they're turgid coming out of yeah coming out of defense good now i think their big problem is
01:55between the arcs at the moment pressure between the arcs um intensity between the arcs they'll get
02:00some moments forward of the footy with some brilliance they've got some brilliant players
02:03forward of the footy their individual excellence behind the ball um and sometimes saves them as well
02:08it's not necessarily system that's saving them at the moment but individual excellence in the
02:12middle of the ground certainly defensively in transition they're losing their way big time
02:15there doesn't seem to be that real fire in the brisbane lines at the moment in between the arcs so
02:20that's that's what i see i don't know what chris fagan sees at the moment that's what i see when
02:24i
02:24watch the brisbane lines play and they're being absolutely torched by teams who are willing to
02:28work both ways through the middle of the ground and freemantle are a classic example of that and
02:32they're doing it without young hayden young and caleb sarong as well there's still a fair bit of upside
02:36for the mighty freemantle docker sitting on top of the top yeah a lot of depth across the park but
02:39does fagan pull the trigger on somebody who do you want you want a scalp who do you want well
02:43i'm i'm
02:43looking at cam rayner i just think as a number one pick overall an extremely disappointing player
02:48this is overall overall he's had some huge moments but if you look at the numbers and pick away i
02:53mean
02:53he's been involved in premierships he's been good in big moments but as a number one you want
02:58generational players he's not that and uh he's been flopping um he's been fine for staging he's a bit
03:05flat and down on form not doing enough not getting his hands on the footy he has to be under
03:09the gun
03:09fletcher's the other one that looks out of sorts in his role um so i'm going to pull the trigger
03:15on
03:15rayner i i don't think fags will do it it's just not his style but he must be close to
03:19losing
03:19patience with some of these guys mcluggish doesn't look right dunkley who gets pumped up as a terrific
03:24guy great leader have a look at dunkley's figures this year they're not great he has a good run in
03:30the media which is rightly so because he's a terrific man three-time premiership player three-time
03:33premiership player but he's down as well so it's starting to unwind a bit at brisbane so i think he
03:39might have to to pull the trigger on somebody draper how's that going oscar allen how's he going
03:44he's never looked 100 fit to me this year still looks a bit underdone so i think allen and draper
03:50will be better next year does that make sense after another full preseason but they've and they
03:55spiritually got living in the moment right now of course the brisbane lions want them to go for a
03:59three-peat help be a part of a three-peat because fagin's keeping the faith from what he says uh
04:03post
04:03game that he's got to have the belief in these guys after what they've been through and he threw it
04:07out
04:07to the audience wouldn't you it's probably a fair question but to your point they need to get moving
04:12because it does seem to be slipping away pretty quick so six and six they can't probably play well
04:15certainly won't make top four and as i said if you don't make top six you cook because the wild
04:20card
04:20games are just uh novelty matches
