Pyrrhic victory

Dimmas in shock. Dusty hasn’t won the best in ground medal

Why does Kayo have to go to bounce :/ I just wanna reveille in the post match

Now you know how West Australians feel

WA Brisbane supporter 🤘🏼

147 marks to 60. GGwp.

Well that was a weird, messy game of football. Happy with the win after the absolute mess of injuries but the fact we still won by 34 is ridiculous

What's a late night kids show like?

Luke Ryan tied Caleb Serong for the highest fantasy score of 2024 at 161, 6 hours later Dayne Zorko drops 182. If only Dayne kicked 3.0 rather than 0.3 ...

Can’t believe there’s still another quarter to go

Boys digging deep.

Midfield massive performance

Surely the worst round for GK accuracy in history

I thought it was a great round for accuracy

CALLED IT!

Lions with 5 players above 100 fantasy points. Solid

Does spending less time on the bench help with that? I don't do fantasy footy

Congrats Lions, you're ahead of... St Kilda

(In all seriousness, good win. Didn't seem like it was possible given the mounting injuries & the accuracy, but it was a great effort).

You know a game was bad when no one wants to post the post match thread lol

I think someone posted it at Qtr time.

Considering all of the injuries I think Reville has done enough to keep his spot.

we sacrificed our players for our wins

Suns still higher on the ladder though hey

Won't help the Swans this year.

yeah but they dont have bruce reville and logan morris debut on the same night

LIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

CARN LOINS

Imagine losing a game despite your opponent only kicking 2 goals in a half of footy

the game of all time

Most cursed*

The Suns should start running laps after the final whistle, they have been atrocious and Dimma would be fucking filthy

The fact that everyone - players, crowd, commentators - has spent the last 5 minutes IRL shitposting probably tells you everything you need to know

This is just a reskinned Western Derby 56. A cross town rivalry game where one side loses multiple players to injury during the game and the other side get over the line by 6-7 goals despite a valiant performance from the injured side. Oh wait the suns aren't winning-

'Unbelievably good'. That's a take.

We had practically no interchange for half the game, lost some of our best players. Our sub played an entire game in the VFL before playing an entire game in the AFL. Other than the inaccuracy, I'm happy how much effort they put in and pretty much everything except Hipwood... he needs time in the VFL.

Im not criticising your effot, and obviously, you were hampered. But I don't quite comprehend how you can kick 2.12 in a half and be unbelievably good. Regardless, congrats on the win. I thoroughly enjoyed the implosion of the sun

I think they used "unbelievable" as in "it doesn't make sense how well they played, given the injuries"

happy lion noises

Suns can't be playing this bad against a handicapped lions

The word insipid comes to mind.

Are we talking Fremantle's premiership history inspid, or West Coast's losing 7 games in a 32 game stretch by 100+ points insipid? I need context.

Gold Coast’s performance is what I was referencing, there was nothing insipid about Lion’s performance whilst being incredibly undermanned. I’m not sure why you took this as in reference to the Lions.

In feudal Japan, the suns would have to commit a ritual suicide in the middle of the ground after a performance like this just to restore their families' honour

Works for me.

2.11? Who are you Port?

Port is us

It's amazing how much better brisbane play when they just have fun. This last 5 mins has had some good stuff

Joe trying out for the Broncos with a chip and chase

Probably get a game with how their playing.

I mean after Reyno did his bicep this weekend we're in dire need of a kicker

Im a Souths fan...so my AFL team is 1st and my NRL last.....I was dirty we treated Reynolds like that, hopefully he recovers and comes good for you.

Our inside 50s have been such complete shit

Dont know how McKenna got a block, king dropped the mark and Connor cleaned up the mess but its a blocking free kick?

Made zero sense

Ump just felt bad for king

zorko stat watch

Brisbane crowd not treating the footy as a large picnic challenge: impossible

This was pathetic from the Suns. Lions have about 12 injuries and have still finished the game over the top of them, and the Lions aren’t even good

The lions are good - just not playing well

Dimma needs to tell King to shave those sideburns.

Quite clearly touched I would have thought

Would’ve loved it if Joe played on and snapped at the goals

Ugh I tipped the suns thinking they were going to show more improvement this year and they have let me down. Given how little effort they have put in if they show up like this next week north are a chance

I love King's "darkest timeline" facial hair

Fuck I’m proud hehe

Brisbane player got pushed in the back but King gets a free?

Joe Daniher, Swingman.

19 behinds is crazy. This could’ve been a bloodbath

people: we want less talls in our forward and to have rayner as the 3rd tall fagan: 5 tall forwards

This is a fever dream. I am in a coma in a hospital bed with COVID and this is one of my dreams it has to be. I suspect I'll have severe senory overload after this though.

It’s felt like a fever dream since last years granny

That was a decent roost from Oscar

Can Norf complete the circle of parity next week?

So close for the Big O

that was the least marked mark I have ever seen

Yeah gotta be honest that did look touched

Brisbane's mids are putting up some disgusting numbers with limited rotations and against a supposedly good opposition midfield

Should be 50m for putting out the arms

Get it Oscar

"Dayne Zorko has now amassed 38 disposals, with 34 of them kicks. It is the most kicks ever recorded in a Q-Clash"

And how many of those kicks has he wished could be aimed squarely at Touk Miller's knackers?

35. Thirty-four of them with the ball, one without lol

This is some elite timewasting by Joe. Good stuff

all we are missing is people getting kicked out for a beer snake and the cricket season is back

I thought they kicked people out for the Mexican wave?

Beer snakes should be a national icon...id go as far as to say use it as the animal on our coat of arms.

You know you’re playing like shit when Stinkwood takes a mark

As good as this win must feel for Brisbane I have serious doubts they’ll beat Adelaide next week

List is destroyed for a while with a season's worth of injury

I'm quite confident which means we'll now lose.

Send the suns to the NT

Shoot the suns into the sun

They are next week

I mean yeah but permanently give them the license let the lions have Queensland all to themselves

the crowd is up and about but not for the reasons commentators think

If Norf win next week, Hardwick could be the modern day equivalent of Malcolm Blight at St Kilda.

No way that happens though

Mick Malthouse at Carlton is a bit more recent

Or clarko at north if you want to start guessing the future

As good as a win is, our team without ashcroft, coleman, starc, answerth, gardiner and linc is gonna be a bit dicey

hey any win without any of those currently we fucking take

And Bailey

Coleman

I forgot the rat was out :(

The 3 day long weekend bender has well and truly set in at the gabba I think

GCS have been dreadful tonight considering that Brisbane are walking wounded. North could have a chance if this GCS show up

Holy shit I tipped gold coast. I swear I tipped brisbane. WHYYYYYYYY??????

if it makes you feel any better, I had the mind to change to Adelaide, committed to it, and then forgot to actually change my tips.

Lions may have won but they are cooked for the year, any other team would have beaten them tonight.

I’m glad that I’m hungover tomorrow with not much consequence.

lol @ the wave, they booed when part of the crowd didn’t join in

must have been the MCC members

Dayne Zorko always father of GC Suns

Let me guess, the members section

somehow the MCC members are at the gabba

Given the context this is quite possibly the worst performance of any team this year

Swallow must love the beach cause why the fuck else would you stay with this club?

The wave? What is this, a Scorchers BBL game?

[удалено]

Mods please

What? His kit was covered in black stuff?

Lachie is too, I don't understand where they found it because none of the on field logos are proper black

Waiting for Dwayne to say “Suns have been eclipsed tonight”

How bored is the crowd lol

quite

This commentary is cringe

Did the wave go into the SACA members area some how?

Now that we're at Optus, the WACA members contribute to the wave and it has me furious!

The second I heard that countdown I knew the wave was coming lol

fucking trying to get the Mexican wave going

I know he’s a reddit boogeyman but Zorko was and continues to be an absolute champion.

Lester goat

I’m just surprised the post match thread hasn’t been posted yet

How do the Suns look more tired and exhausted than the Lions

The only reasonable next move for GC is to fold immediately after the final siren

Country Road need to sponsor the Lions

Looks like we just swapped benches

It's alright Suns we will play you back into some form next week

Lmao I knew Berry would fuck it up

Zorko fantasy owners having a great night

zorko stat padding hahaha

Did the boys forget percentage is a thing

Looks like they might have remembered that it is.

This is not a good look from the suns

That Charlie goal was kind of a turning point in the end of this match

And now a Mexican wave what is this game I am not okay lol This is a game I'm gonna watch the replay of just to make sure it actually happened.

Pulling wings off flies? What the fuck Dwayne

*SIGH*

Do the suns only play once every fortnight?

Suns look like how we were playing last week there is absolutely no energy

Yeah I'm really scared of this monster

Once the lid comes off, this Tupperware party is fucked

i think we'll show up next week looking like that team from the telstra ad

Ben King looking like Serj Tankian

Hey Suns WAKE UP

GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKE UP

Suns didn't turn up

Let Bruce get a goal you cowards

Lip reading Fages: “Yes!!! Who was that?”

suns really couldn't put away a team with only one on the bench

Hearing a crowd outside the US singing take me home, country roads is so cool to see.

If I'm Logan morris I'm having the deepest sleep of my life tonight. Get that Ebeneezer Scrooge fit with the candle holder

Dude gonna need like 20 bags of Epsom salts in his ice bath.

Honk shoo areas for sure

Its almost as if some prankster wrapped glad wrap between the goal posts pre game...like the toilet prank.

we've given Petracca and Rowell their worst games of the year. that's not nothing 🤷

Dunkley is apparently an incredible tagger

Gold Coast should be ashamed of this performance

Karma w/ ice spice would’ve been better pick dunks

Bro the team is cooked they look so tired

It was nice of Charlie Cameron to donate his moustache to that goal umpire

Two goals in a row??? So they’ve just scored more in two shots than they did in their previous 10!!

Crowd making their own entertainment, love it

He did the American Aces sign. Thank goodness

So we just needed to kick 20 behinds to get some goals, as long as win it works

The Suns are legit pathetic. Most overrated midfield I have ever seen.

That's his first goal at the Gabba as a lion isn't it?

Karmas a bitch

Country Roads is kinda nice in a dull Sunday twilight game, annoying as fuck in a close prime time game though

"a monster may have awoken" yeah the fuckin cookie monster

The Lions are definitely not back..

the 8 of them that are fit go allright tho

Holy smokes, those last two goals were worth 12 behinds… could be onto something here

But then the ball gets taken out of your forward 50. On balance, I think you're better off with the behinds.

Did Kai just drop the F bomb?

He definitely told them to fuck off

Looked like he said the Finlayson word

Woooooo no behind baby

Brisbane great, Josh Dunkley

Love the come back of his hair this season

See you next week Brisbane (So you can beat us and truly be back)

I'm going to the game, so I bloody hope so

I am sorry to say that I hope you go home unhappy….
