AFTER a horror show in front of goal on Saturday, the Brisbane Lions have gone back to basics to correct things this week.

The Lions kicked 5.13 in their 34-point loss to Greater Western Sydney, and also kicked five shots out of bounds on the full on a weekend littered with poor goalkicking across the competition.

Not including shots out of bounds, Brisbane has converted just 46 per cent of its shots at goal in 2018.

"We're certainly doing a lot of work this week on goalkicking," young leader Harris Andrews said on Tuesday morning.

And true to his word, the first thing at the Lions' skill session later that morning was goalkicking.

Every player that trained – including defenders – went around for 20 minutes and practised kicks at goal from a number of angles, both set shots and snaps.

Like his coach Chris Fagan post-match, Andrews also highlighted the delivery inside 50 as a major issue for the Lions.

They had just three less inside 50s than GWS, but failed to generate the same number of scoring shots.

Andrews said despite the negative commentary surrounding the game following round six, the Lions put plenty of work into their skills.

"We spend all summer working on them and in-season there's a bit more focus on recovery, but we'll go out today for a good session and work on skills," he said.

"Thursday we'll have our main session, and away from that we have touch and boys work on their skills there.

"I don't think there's a lack of time or care there, it's probably just the execution on the ground – it's not like the work isn't being done during the week."

Andrews described the call for zones and suggestions to break up congestion as an over-reaction.

"We talk about trends of the game and they only last four to six weeks, so in four to six weeks we could be talking about the most attractive game of all time,” he said.
