Both clubs have named a strong line-up so it should be a decent game to watch. The Swans are only really missing Franklin, Ted Richards, Goodes, Tippett and McVeigh. No biggie.

Whilst the noticeable absentees from the Lions side are Hanley, Christensen and Maguire.

Great to see them on Fox this week, it will be interesting see how both midfields go, footy on a Friday afternoon, what a start to the weekend.

Will be having an ill disciplined look at the 2.50 on offer for the Lions here

Worth a punt to show some faith.

Hoping we will get Browny on the commentary.

Dam was hoping it would be an 8pm start so I could watch it after work. I may get fired tonight. Watch the skies.

Are you a skywriter who's likely to stuff up his work because you're watching the Lions or something?

Think of us here in Perth. I have to be very clever to try and sneak out to be home by 4:10

If you've got foxtel to watch it surely you can record it to watch it when you get home?

What are you talking about everybody is gone by 3:30pm?

 

[Lace Out]

Worth a punt to show some faith.

I think the pre-season is our best chance to beat them.

 

[Toffee Lion]

The stream was nice but this should be a better experience watching it on FOX, no more twinkle little stars either.

Hopefully we've gotten a few cobwebs cleaned out.

Gonna miss Plough's beautiful voice though

 

[snooplions]

All I can think about is who gets more bird name references: Craig Bird or Lewis Pelican.

The Phil Collins gag is gone.

We're all about Peter Gabriel jokes now.

Just got FOXTEL on in time for this game. Is the HD worth the extra? I only really watch footy. Pretty keen for the game.

Yeah, I think the HD is worth the extra 10 bucks a month.

Huge difference between SD and HD on Foxtel - grab it.

With all the injuries happening around the league early in the NAB challenge, is anyone else just a little nervous about sending essentially the same squad to play two matches six days apart?

With the extended benches they can manage their workload pretty well.

Yes. Not necessarily for the 6 day thing, just in general. If we lose another quality mid on top of Hanley, we basically go into the season with our one 2015 point of difference (midfield depth) taken out of the equation.

 

[iBeng]

Just want to see us get through the match without injuries. A win would be a bonus, a narrow loss a learning experience and a flogging just another game.

Got my free Live Pass from setting up a fantasy league up and running to stream this game - there's also a free 4 week trial for those people without Fox who want to watch the game
