Match report: Lions roar away from wooden spoon
July 24, 2016 3:40 PM
THE WOODEN spoon appears headed to Essendon for the first time in 83 years after the Brisbane Lions released the pressure valve on their embattled coach Justin Leppitsch with a thumping 37-point victory on Sunday.
In a clash between last and second last on the ladder, the 17th-placed Lions were cleaner by foot and more efficient in front of goal as they ended a club record 12-game losing streak, 20.8 (128) to 12.19 (91).
Led by under-fire skipper Tom Rockliff (38 disposals, one goal), the Lions' senior players ran rampant. Daniel Rich (27, one goal) broke out of his form slump, while Pearce Hanley (31, one goal) and ruckman Stefan Martin (25, one goal) also feasted on the ball in a free-flowing encounter under the closed Etihad Stadium roof.
