Melbourne v Brisbane Lions Highlights | Semi-Finals, 2022 | AFL

[@zeppelin01024]

Those two Brisbane goals to beat the sirens at the end of the second and third quarters were the key moments of the game. The Lions were so gritty and it really translated deeper into the second half.

[@MrJedd3333]

Same thing happened last week, 2 goals at or after the siren, absolute guts!

[@oiBliz]

Bet this felt like a grand final for the Lions after their record at the capital G and their previous run ins against the Ds, they really knuckled down last night, great to see. Pressure got to Melbourne big time.

[@sportsnut69]

[@imalwaysright]

The entire Jake Lever moment sums up Melbourne's year. Too cute and too arrogant. That was shocking. Their 2nd half blues are unbelievable. It's happened so many times - coughing up big leads, terrible poor movement, inaccurate goal kicking, poor defence, selfish players going for low probability plays, hospital passes, players thinking they can take on a tackle and then getting pinged. Brisbane's pressure in the second half was outstanding.

[@imalwaysright]

There were players that had awful games. It was strange, because some of them are usually reliable and haven't played so bad.

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

I genuinely feel sorry for the guy. I can totally relate (not elite sportsman relate 😂 but definite human brain fade relate 😂🤦🏻‍♂️). Seems like a good bloke, key player, great defender, caught up in the hysteria of the moment then just zoned out for enough seconds to lose any chance of a mini comeback. Seems crazy I know. How could anyone in that moment be so absent minded. Well, I get it. The weight of devastation on his face was heartbreaking. Fatal error. 100 times worse than Jayden’s kick-in brain fade against Sydney. It’s an unrelenting unforgiving sport. Hope it doesn’t break him and he comes back next year even better and stronger.

[@imalwaysright]

@@AnthonyLeighDunstan is it brain fade or arrogance and thinking he won't get penalized?

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

@@imalwaysright who knows? It’s interpreting body language. It’ll always be subjective. Only Lever really knows. Though his elongated stare at the screen suggests he doubted the umpire’s call (which was a correct one) and could be interpreted as arrogance for sure. But yeah, I’d give him the benefit of the doubt.

[@BadgerFromOz]

And then there were five... teams remaining. I didn't watch most of the game unforfunately. Brisbane got sick of losing heavily to Melbourne and finally took a stand against the Demons. The Lions took down a reigning premier on their own turf. Last week on SEN, Anthony Hudson said that "Melbourne's back-to-back campaign is now backs to the wall" and now, it's back to the drawing board for the Demons. Brisbane can enjoy staying in Melbourne with a Preliminary Final rematch with Geelong and who knows? A Grand Final berth for the first time in eighteen years awaits the Lions should they emerge victorious. Otherwise Geelong will play in the Grand Final at the MCG for the first time since 2011. The Grand Final was at the Wooloongabba in 2020. Melbourne fans will be wondering where it all went wrong this Finals Series at they're forced to watch on. Fun facts: This is the seventh time in nine seasons that at least one top four team crashed out in straight sets and the 2022 Melbourne (2nd) are the eighth team in nine years to go from Qualifying Finalist to straight-sets exit. They are also the first team since the 2016 Hawthorn (3rd) to crash out of the Finals in straight sets as a reigning premier and the first to lose BOTH home Finals games (regardless of whether they were the away team or not) to suffer a straight-sets exit since the 2018 Hawthorn (4th).

Because Lever was tackled. It was either holding the ball or incorrect disposal. Could be insufficient attempt to keep the ball in the ground. Brisbane were awarded a free kick for that. Then he didn't hand the ball straight over - you have to hand the over immediately, and not delay the game, so they got a 50m penalty which meant McStay could kick in front of his goals.
