I'm Gerard Waitley. Here's a snapshot of Thursday, June 25. Adam Simpson on the Brisbane Lions as they shoot for the top six post-bye.

9.19 - 10.994 Adam Simpson

He's a master of the theme, isn't he?

Chapter 2: What insights does Adam Simpson share about the Brisbane Lions' performance?

11.014 - 26.147 Adam Simpson

And he does get you to believe. But what's interesting, and we've spoken about their style of play, because there have been uncontested marks control over chaos, drop the hammer when they need to with the contest. And it's obviously stood them in really good stead, but when's it time to reflect and change?

26.207 - 44.761 Adam Simpson

And I'll be looking at, are they changing now and having a go at this top six or they're going to continue to be this uncontested marking side? Because they're slightly different. Now, they're a lot stronger now around the stoppages, Gerard. They weren't last year. So this year, they're number one at centre clearances and scores from centre bounces.

44.801 - 67.313 Adam Simpson

So their defence have dropped a little bit, you know, around 15 to 20 points per game worse off than they were last year. So there's a few things there that suggest that something needs to be tinkered with. So whether it's the players coming back and the attitude to the back end of the season or it's style of play, yeah, that's what we're looking forward to tonight with Sydney as well.

67.333 - 72.682 Adam Simpson

They've got such, and we'll talk about them in a minute, but two different sides, high handball side versus a high kick side.

73.122 - 77.389 Gerard Whateley

And Sinnoh on the gag order on coaches commenting about umpiring.

77.504 - 93.184 Adam Simpson

I think the coach who says, yeah, look, he got that decision wrong. Mistakes happen and we move on. I think that's still okay to say. That's the common sense in me as a coach. Someone asked me about a decision that, you know, was controversial or wrong. I can comment on it and be, you know, respectful and,

93.164 - 105.702 Adam Simpson

versus the, oh, you know, they've got to change the rule, we've got to look at that, or, you know, all this type of stuff that we talk about. So I still think that's allowed. I'm going to go out there on a limb and say, if the next coach says that, he won't get a fine or a phone call.

106.423 - 112.412 Gerard Whateley

Give me your answer. You've been, I'm just trying to think of the right one.

112.472 - 121.365 Adam Simpson

The mark that wasn't a mark. Yes, yes. Okay, well, that was clearly a wrong decision. But we all make mistakes, and that didn't determine the result of the game. You're allowed to say that, aren't you?
