The Brisbane Lions find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 13th on the ladder and reeling from a significant defeat to GWS. Despite their history of making finals, their current form has raised concerns about their season’s viability. Criticism from St Kilda’s Leigh Montagna on Fox Footy’s First Crack echoed these worries, noting their stagnant performance compared to previous years.
Montagna highlighted the team’s reluctance to evolve and integrate new talent, emphasizing the importance of adaptation in a competitive league. The limited debutants and consistent player selection underscored this point. He stressed the need for a strategic reevaluation, particularly in terms of player selection and game style.
However, amidst their struggles, there’s a glimmer of hope for Brisbane fans, with upcoming fixtures seen as potential opportunities for a turnaround. Montagna noted winnable matches in the near future, suggesting a chance for the team to showcase their talent and revive their season.
Looking ahead, Montagna proposed adjustments to Brisbane’s approach, including reconsidering their forward structure and adopting a more aggressive ball movement strategy. He pointed out key performance metrics where the Lions currently lag, indicating areas for improvement.
As the Lions prepare to face Gold Coast in the upcoming ‘Q-Clash’, the pressure is on for Chris Fagan and his team to respond convincingly and reignite their season.
