Review Round 17 Qclash Gold Coast vs Brisbane

[bballscout]

Should be a good matchup, Tom Lynch 7 goals v Aspley should let him come back in. Maybe rest Day who is providing little target up forward right now.

Only other change I would make is bring in Taylor for Mav Weller who got owned last night by Robin Nahas and letting tigers back in the game, playing behind all night.

In: lynch, Taylor

Out: day, weller

Give Steve may the experience of playing on j.brown with Warnock taking the 2nd tall. Ps how good was Dixon down ack last night! I've seen him play there in Neafl before, perhaps rotate him between there and the ruck next week?

Lions have an underrated midfield, Zorko rockliff rich redden black harwood among others is stronger than ours, maybe look to tag rich who whilst not a big ball winner has the best disposal efficiency of those.

This is a winnable game at Metricon, lions ain't easy though
, a very solid team.

Need to convert opportunities and reduce errors, make every inside 50 count.

I will say Brisbane win by 3 goals but if we step up in the 3rd term, who knows...

I would prefer to bask in our glorious victory before thinking about next week yet.

Lynchy would have to come in , after a win like that you would want to stabilze the team , Mav does'nt look up to it at the moment , maybe bring back Hine for that pocket posy , my guess at this early stage would be

IN - Lynch , Hine
Out - Day (rest) , Weller

Don't forget Danny Stanleys forced holiday. That is going to hurt a little!

OUT: Stanely (suspended possibly), J.Hall (Well done on first game)
IN: Iles, Lynch

 

[bballscout]

Yep bring iles back in! Keep j.hall in also.

Lions are a little light on for key position players ATM so maybe a good week to use our size and take advantage at both ends.

Not sure hickey needs to come back, lions will play Hudson alone in the ruck, similar format to tigers this week.

I know what your saying with J Hall, but he isn't up to it, and would need to be subbed again at half time? He did well for 60 minutes of football dont get me wrong, but what happens if something unfortunate happens and we need him for 75-90 or 120 minutes even? He will be a liability.

Lynch SHOULD come in after 6 goals in the ressies I think.

Dixon to Brown, Warnock to Merett.

Patrick the ljamanju lightning bolt may be dropped also. Has been pretty ineffective and may have played his last afl match.

I personally hope he stays in the team for now but a lock to be delisted come September...

why would you want him to stay in the team for now?
he clearly isnt good enough. play our best team i say. if he is going to be delisted so be it.
sick of blokes getting games for no reason.

Fair point but I want to see if he can make it afl level. Boom or bust right now for Liam, with bust in the drivers seat...

i do get what you mean. it just frustrates me that we play guys week in and week out that are not up to it, whilst clearly there are better footballers in the twos.
i just want to wineach week. but agree Patrick is very borderline at the moment, leaning toward bust as well.

 

[Covertackle]

except for injury, you dont change a winning side....

Odds up on Sportsbet, im excited after a big win a few days ago.

Gold Coast $3.40
Brisbane $1.31

The line is 23.5 points @ $1.92

Taken from Sportsbet.

Will probably throw another benjamin on Gold Coast to win by 1-39 @ $4.20

 

[Sunny_]

Stanley gone for one week. Pretty lucky he only got that!

Hunt cleared.

Stanley looking a bit proppy. Week off will probably do him some good. Fortunately we have Iles waiting in the wings, can play a similar role.

Rich and Merret out for the Lions through suspension. Huge blows for them.

WOW Huge...putting money on us NOW before the odds react

 

[Sunny_]

Steady on. Lions might challenge, and I think they will. Both of those punishments are unreasonable IMO. I would wait until we know for sure if they will be out or not.

 

[exile]

big blow for lions! heard merrett might miss our game but didn't hear rich could too!
unlucky for stanley, thought it could have been 2 though.

Hehe thats why they call it gambling

2 of their most important players in doubt for the match is good enough for me to take a punt this early. Odds have already shortened to $3.20 from $3.40. So put $100 on early.

Wow , big outs , helps us out , Stanley hurts.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

I think Stanley was lucky in that Riewoldt wasn't hurt and he got up pretty quickly. In light of the Wellingham incident, 1 week off isn't all that severe.

Bring Isles back in for Stanley,

 

[Big Red Machine]

Just keep that dirty grub Raines away from gAblett.

And watch and see 90% of our members turn up in Lions gear using their Suns membership cards to get into the game, That shits me something bad.

 

[supernova_]

Looks like Rich has accepted his ban, Merrett will contest at the Tribunal tonight.

Odds have shortened to $3.15 for Gold Coast on Sportsbet.

 

[Iva Bigun]

We have a season defining few weeks ahead of us, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and GWS, three of these are home games (except Syndey) we are a real chance of snatching a couple of these which would be great for the boys, coaches and us die hards.
