A blow for @brisbanelions with Keidean Coleman (hamstring) expected to miss 5-6 weeks.
Had played 12 games this season after just two in two years due to injury.
@FootyonNine@9NewsMelb
A largely uninspiring first half where we were fumbly and reactive.
It did look much better in the last 5 mins of the quarter, but we couldn't capitalise.

Well Fages in his presser has planted the flag firmly in the ground for next week.
We either move forward or continue going backwards.
Time to bring the heat.
All season it has seemed as though our defensive attitude, our HUNGER, has been off.
Sure, injuries do not help. However, effort is something any team is more than capable of.
This performance is Exhibit A of everything that's been wrong about us this year.
#AFLGiantsLions
Both teams would be pretty happy with what they are doing offensively, but pretty annoyed defensively.
Need to get the ball in our forward 50 deeper and lock it up.
#AFLGiantsLions
Better quarter defensively, but we cannot string more than a couple of good plays in a row.
Pressure needs to lift - that's the way to get the Giants.

@DOMfay Theme idea: Feel the Hunger
Not sure these boys are doing that consistently this year.
Also, can @MichaelWhiting please ask Fages about us defending transition from our F50? We're one of the worst teams at it this season.
@mitchcorcoran Chris Scott's tactics were good for sure.
It largely came down to effort though - at the contest and at defence.
You could sense from the opening ball-up that we were not switched on.
To say we've had an underwhelming and sloppy fortnight would be an understatement.
10-days to refresh and stew over this one.
Highly disappointing.
