Lions learn AFL lesson in tempo control

The Brisbane Lions didn’t take a backwards step on Sunday despite being blown away by a second-half Essendon onslaught, according to midfielder Ryan Lester. The Lions were in the hunt for a third win a row, trailing by just five points at halftime at Etihad Stadium – but they were destroyed after the break when the Bombers piled on a whopping 12 goals to four, securing a 58-point victory.
