"What have we got to lose?" No fear Lions ready for GWS! | Brisbane Press Conference | Fox Footy

and you some that one up Chris ever seen a start like it before no that's probably the the best footy we've played this year for 50 55 minutes I mean we set out to put a lot of pressure on carton we were sort of aware that they had quite a few players that hadn't played a lot of football in the last little while um because they' had a fair old battle all season with injuries and and uh you know we sort of wanted to try and get them on the back foot early and um I probably didn't think we'd do it as well as that but it was uh pretty emphatic performance for the first 50 odd minutes of the game lot of good interet marks and nice skills like things just finally clicked in they for yeah say 50 minutes yeah they did and we probably went a bit quick at times even in the third quarter you know we we we didn't complete some plays that we should have they win the third quarter but it's one5 to 31 so I thought it was for most of the night it was a pretty solid performance there's a few few sort of murmur around the ground when they kicked a few in arari sort of you know every week with s mention it did you what do you what do you make or what do you learn from that the kick five straight there at one point did you see they K how many in a row they five right it oh didn't realize it oh well this that's you know there's momentum in footy like we all get oh GE you know that happened but what about all the goals we kicked in a row you know so you just got to deal with the momentum when it occurs and I thought I thought we did a pretty good job in the latter part of the third quarter just to Crunch the game up slow it down and be in a good position by three quarter time so that was the main thing it's how you respond to it um you know I don't think they I know the murmur went around probably because it's happened a couple of times but I don't think car wherever going to get back into that game tonight um ask about Jack pain now you what what do you know about his injury and yeah so we've got we've got a level of optimism that he could be right for next week so it's not necessarily all bad we'll get some scans and see how it is but it was a little bit of uh you know if we had to put him back out there we we could have tried to but it probably wasn't any point in doing that not having much luck with our tall Defenders this year but he was going pretty well too I thought you know if it was a contact injury or just get a hit or you sure I think it was was I think he the way he landed I'm pretty sure um looking ahead I guess you get got the Giants so you've had few battles over the years of them what do you make of of that matchup and yeah how how you feeling about your chances oh what have we got to lose you know we we sort of that's that's how I feel feel about it and I think if we can play the sort of football that we played particularly in the first half tonight we we'll challenge anybody obviously we've got to go to their ground it's to their advantage but um you know we've played a few games there before we our last battle with giants was a pretty close game in reality I think I think we had a lot more shots that day so uh you know as I said if we can bring the form we displayed tonight we we'll challenge him it'll be a good game of footy Chris you believe in you know what's name you know you guys you guys won tonight they lost you got the sort of momentum you believe that I'm not sure about that because over the years in my involvement in footy everyone gets excited about the the teams that are down the bottom of the eight that win and because the Giants L everyone gets down them and and that's sort of the The Narrative but you know they'll be determined to bounce back they'll be disappointed that they lost today I think it was a they LED for a long periods didn't they and swans got at the end I I just heard about it I didn't see it but um so they'll be disappointed about that but they'll bounce back pretty quickly we we're going to have to play well next week to put them at their ground but we we're looking forward to the challenge what challenges do they pose that I don't know whether it's other clubs done or what they oh well just that that ability to handball chain through the middle of the tsunami and their pressure has been excellent this year and you know they've got some good small forwards they're pretty well-rounded team
