Sportingbet – Can the Brisbane Loins Bounce Back in the AFL
Category: AFL Online
The Brisbane Lions have suffered another defeat in the 2009 AFL Premiership season seeing them slide out of the top eight and showing Michael Voss that coaching a team in the AFL isn’t always going to be a barrel of laughs.

The Lions went down in a tight encounter to the old foes in Collingwood after leading for the majority of the game.
Poor ball control and a distinct lack of discipline in certain areas kept Collingwood out of the game until some slick work through the middle saw them kick away in the final term and run out victors by seventeen points.
Michael Voss would be left wondering what happened after his charges let a golden opportunity slip to go to three wins from four starts and cement a place in the top eight early on in the season.
However it wasn’t to be and Voss will now realise that although coaching an AFL side has its perks, it is no doubt still one of the toughest jobs in the country.
Brisbane has a rather young line up but still has the experience necessary despite having very few of the players left that carried them to three straight premierships and the title as one of the greatest teams in the modern game’s history.
Voss has continued a bit of a trend in the AFL of employing young coaches though is clearly the youngest in the competition and by far the least experienced and you can place your bet on Sportingbet.
The Lions will have to rely more heavily on their leadership team if they are to be any hope of making the eight come September.
