Game Day Round 19, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Geelong

[ZoBlitz]

A normal gameday day.

Go lions!!!!!!!!

This feels like the most important game of the season, even more so than Melbourne last week. Sold out Gabba against the reigning premier a week after a critical 1 point loss at the MCG.

Probably a ridiculous statement but it feels like the result of this game ultimately determines wheather or not we'll make a statement in finals and elevate to that next threshold.

Lose this and a Gabba qualifying final is essentially out of the cards and we'll be put under pressure by the teams below us. Lose this and likely going to be too hard to pick up the pieces. Win and it sets us up for a good home stretch to September.

Lions by 1 point

Go Lions!

Home Turf. Sold out crowd.
Reigning Premier as opponent.
They are in form, making a charge.
We are coming off 1 point loss and some self doubts.

Time to put it all to rest and make a statement with a big win. Go Lions !!!

Huge game….huge

4 quarters of the good stuff from last week please.

 

[martinson]

Don't see losing this game as season defining unless they happen to belt us.

I still see us making top 4 if we lose but I don't expect we will.

Agree about the impact of a big loss, am a bit concerned in light of last year’s preliminary final and what geelong did to the bombers last week.

Did hear Fagan say recently that we were cooked going into that prelim.

Big game, sold out Gabba, twilight time slot (best time slot), can't wait! What time am I allowed to start drinking?

Now

 

[Dalions]

Can’t wait for this one, Bring it on!
C’mon Lions
Think it will be a pretty close one.

 

[CarterS]

Now

Better hold off a little bit otherwise I wouldn't make it to the game

7 minutes time from, wait , wait , Now.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Tomahawk to be overcome by Paine , no goals for you.

 

[Squizz89]

Lions by a point after spending the week taking the “learnings” of how to close out a game.

Kai is sub.

 

[M Malice]

Kai is sub.

Are you the new COO?

 

[Dalions]

Kai is sub.

Personally I think he should be in the team permanently over Gunston.
With AhChee in the team it allows him to go as an extra in defence late in quarters and we don’t lose any forward power with Kai remaining forward.

 

[Dalions]

Are you the new COO?

I would imagine he is at the VFL game.

Bombers might have hit the wall starting last week, beaten by the Throwdogs by 41 points last night as well, maybe the Cats weren't as impressive as it seemed last week.

No, I contribute to society.

Bombers are garbage anyways, beating them by 50 points means about as much as beating west coast by 80.

Cats are still a dangerous opponent though, after reading Grasshopper17 s last post will be watching for a big last quarter. If we can't start running out games now might as well pack it in.

This will be a big test of our mental toughness. A win will be very impressive.
