Preview Round 22 - Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows • Saturday 12 August 2023 • 4:35 PM • The Gabba

[Big Sauce 21]

What do they class as a sellout now ?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Surprising and welcome to sell out the Gabba in direct opposition to a Matildas World Cup quarter final on the other side of the river. I know I'll be keeping an eye on the scores.

Rumour Lachie didn’t train today … injury cloud ? Anyone know anything about this

 

[Viceregal]

After Team selection...

Brisbane Lions 96 - 74 Adelaide

Gabba (QLD)
HGA:

+7.5 pts
Ins/Outs:

+3.5 pts

Apparently Squiggle is a Dev and Oscar fan

Rachele omitted is very much out of left field to me. He's seemed their best mid most weeks.

The Adelaide guys seem to think his last two weeks have sucked and that it is a pattern they saw last year and so he is being rested ... the debate is whether it is better to fully rest of make him sub no one seems to be melting over him ommission...

Mate of mine a crazy crows supporter. Reckons Rachelle been crap for a month.

As good a game to give Lauchie a rest, and JL a run, as any.

 

[lionsrules]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Neale is carrying an injury … last two weeks he looked either gassed or on one leg.
I’d say that’s the same for Charlie and Payne after his ankle issue during one of the games.
First time since our finals appearances I’m thanking the Bye being there. We are Going to need it.

The Pies Easter Thursday 2023 sell out game was 33,565

I would say 37 K is about the new capacity.
The Dogs SF in 2021 we got 36,470
The Tigers QF in 2019 was 37,478

Your mate's right, Rachele was completely unsighted for two weeks of that month.

I guess to add to the insult the MRP only rated his game before that "medium impact".

He fumbled quite a bit against the Dockers, very unlike him, could be having trouble getting low and hard for the ball.

 

[McIvor]

Just saw an interesting stat a lot of it being irrelevant to tomorrow’s game.

Head to head at the Gabba v Crows we only hold a 12-11 (19-18 overall) win loss record against them and under Fagan since 2017 it is 2-2 at Gabba and 4-3 overall.

We must tread very carefully and not take them for granted one bit.

 

[3KZ is Football]

I think that this is close to our strongest side. The only concern I have is in attack, where we are very tall. Ah Chee rotating with Gunston will help, but I am worried about forward line pressure and our ability to lock the ball in. We need a massive effort from McCarthy, Cameron and Rayner when it comes to forward pressure. Adelaide will be playing someone with leg speed on Gunston and I have no doubt they will be running off him and exiting their defensive 50 through that player.

Keays’ departure: Lions’ sorrow

In Lions' pride, young Keays once roamed, A beacon of hope, his spirit shone. With skills so fine, he graced the field, To Brisbane's heart, his loyalty sealed.

But fate's cruel hand did intervene, And Keays departed, a somber scene. To Adelaide's nest, he took his flight,
Leaving Lions fans in sorrow's night.

Their cheers once loud now fade away, As Keays dons new colors, a different display. The pain of loss, a bitter pill, For Lions faithful, a void to fill.

Yet memories linger, moments shared, In Lions' history, his name is spared. Though distance parts, their hearts remain,
In Lion's roar, an everlasting refrain.

Roses are dead

I hope Neale is not this year's Jarrod Lyons.
Would rather he be just struggling with the tag than an ongoing niggle/injury.

Might just be a 2021 Lachie Neale. Luckily we showed that year we're not too reliant on him

Didn't do us much favours going out in straight sets in that years finals series

Don't feel too badly about that finals series.

Melbourne and the Bulldogs were coming home with a head of steam and we fought those games out reasonably well

 

[Section 5]

A bit hard on Neale regarding the final series.
He did rack up a lazy 46 disposal game v Dees.
Only 28 in the following weeks 2-point loss to the Dogs.
But Lachie was a little up and down after missing rounds 7 to 11 through injury.
