Combine that with the leap and no claim the other day, you’d think with all the practise the defence is getting in games that they’d be like a well-oiled machine. The problem could be as simple as having a lot of changes to the back configuration, first carney was in the back, then Gallagher, Welsh, Regan and now talk of Madaschi for Friday night.
I’m just hoping Birraz can get through this and get back to his best, cause based of the first few games we are going to need a better effort from the defensive unit as a whole to avoid the spoon.
Poor bloke... Even haterz have to feel for him. It's like being sent to the slaughter house
Mistake free tonight and the equal most he has shipped. Almost nailed on the get dumped for bk given stubbins record.
birraz tonight = bambi waiting to be shot by 11 hunters with elephant guns.
His saving was excellent. It prevented a cricket score. His distribution however was poor

Getting closed down constantly and with zero options but to punt it... you are having a go at him for that?
Are you a BK fanboi in disguise?
I have been critical in the past but not tonight. The kid gave it everything tonight and it might have been 8-0 were it not for some very good keeping.
Most importantly he actually looked like a bloke that cared unlike a few others out there.
Birraz in. He can hold his head high.
I agree but as Grim said. Who was he to pass to. Players were poorly positioned to play out
As I am a known Birraz fanboi have to agree his distribution was pretty poor tonight. Rest of his game was pretty good though
What does irritate me is that the blokes in front kept giving it to him and lots of the time needlessly. Considering he is having a bit of a rough night with the boot why keep giving him the ball when you don't have to??

Are you a BK fanboi in disguise?Yeah fair point. I'm pretty enraged at the moment so my judgement might be clouded somewhat.
Some of his sky ball punts were pretty crap though

Ordinary effort going feet first for the first goal....distribution, the worst since Reddy was here.
Couldn't do much for the the other goals though.
BK in.
Solid.
Except for goal #1
And I think he found Brisbane feet less then out midfield so his distribution wasn't anything worse than others.
His distribution was that of an all age player.... He kept kicking his goal kicks out?
Some immense saves but poor distribution. I don't think total blame needs to be attributed to birras tho. He was obviously told to hit griffs head but u can't just rely on doin that regularly, it was either kick it wide or to an incredibly isolated montano in the middle
*whod then lose it and let brisbane counter.
Tbh, I would've done the same thing as Birraz, play it wide, hope to find a teammate, if not, at least its not in too dangerous a spot.
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
He might have made some good saves, but are we naive to think distribution isn't just as important? Consistently kicking it out not only loses possession but it sucks the morale and confidence out of the rest of the players and even the fans. Obviously our midfield couldn't pass it to save themselves but at least they were under some pressure. There is no excuse for a keeper at that level to not be nailing their kicks, at worst 50% of the time. Christ Tom, even you managed to hit my head most of the times you aimed for it!
And the only reason Montano kept losing the ball is because Carney and Griffiths were hugging the sideline. If those two moved in and supported him, then it might have been a different story.
Although that is right the other issue is the lack of support from the 3 CM's most of the time they were bludging in front of the back four and not up in and around Montano Griff etc to win the deflection or get a tackle in and win the ball. Not exactly rocket science to work out where the ball is going from the long clearance yet not one of our CM's showed any interest in offering support to the front 3
Don't besmirch AA's you ****. We are nowhere near as bad as that drivel that was dished up last night.
Agree 100%. AA and o35's don't aim for the side line ever....its up the guts and let the glamour boys fight it out with the fullbacks....that's if you have someone that can kick it that far.
