Preview It's official. We have Brisbane round 1

[Wooljay]

Them having a shaky backline is only half the struggle in terms of exploiting it.

We are going to have to be a hell of a lot better with our ball out of the middle at centrebounces, and just generally being wasteful and wayward at clearances.

Not much point in forward dominance when you can't exploit it.

Cloke to kick 5+

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Free2Air or Foxtel?

 

[Wooljay]

Cloke to kick 5+

Wouldn't surprise me.

I have a feeling Adams is going to be an absolute clearance monster next season, he was building towards it at the end of this year before injury, and I feel with another preseason under his belt he is going to be our go to extractor.

Adams -> Varcoe -> Cloke -> Missing from 15 out directly in front Goal

 

[iGNITER]

Adams -> Varcoe -> Cloke -> Missing from 15 out directly in front Goal

This would please me.

Yes, I fully agree on Adams. Definitely on the Adams bandwagon. Kid will be a star.

I'm thinking

Adams -> Freeman-> Varcoe -> goal.

 

[iGNITER]

Not when I'm done with him

Piledrive?

 

[nahnah]

I'm thinking
Pendlebury -> goal

 

[HowYouDoin]

Brisbane over there a Saturday twilight game, crap venue, crap time slot and crap opposition great way to start the year

It's actually a Saturday night game. And it's also a channel 7 game. Which means the only crap you will have to endure is brian taylor

 

[MAGPIE2013]

I'm thinking
Pendlebury -> goal

Im thinking
pendlebury---------> smashes his way past beams ------->fends off the hack hanley----->runs from 50 and splits the middle of the goals

It's been announced that we have Collingwood Rd1 at the GABBA in 2015.

How fricken big is this game for us. I'm not one for predicting crowds but anything under 30k would be a huge loss.

I don't know whether it's just me but this has made me even more excited about next year. Taking on the old enemy at the GABBA. Beams to make his debut for the lions.

Doesn't get too much bigger than this for us threw the H&A season.

Go lions.

This was posted on the Lions board - Pretty hard to contain the excitement up North - WOW, they might push 30k in the crowd!

Deplorable - What a joke. We shouldnt get out of bed for anything under 30k

And yet, the same game at the MCG this year got just above 30k, with 6-7k of them being Lions supporters. No doubt, this will be one of the biggest games at the Gabba in quite a while.

 

[Sloth]

We will get smashed

You seem to be forgetting that Brisbane are sh*t. Bottom 4 team at best.

Agree - But round 21 where Collingwood were not playing well enough to make finals playing a team towards the bottom of the ladder compared to round 1 is chalk and cheese. That round 21 game last year just shows where both teams were at.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Not the least bit interested in all the Beams crap. The good news for Collingwood is with a round one road trip our travel burden (which is already pretty good) is even better being spread out as far across the calendar as possible. Its also means we might finally meet the Suns (a superior Qld team) at home for once.

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

Piledrive?

Beams is not worthy of a BBB piledriver.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

It will be good to get 1 of our away games out of the way with a win in round 1

Should be a good percentage booster to start the season of

 

[BoxMatrix]

Richmond twice apparentely

Two wins you can pencil in right there. Include the blues as well we have four wins. Good start

 

[Big Bryza]

Will be there. Can't wait.

 

[Cory]

Won't be able to get a tackle on them since their list is untouchable

 

[Big Bryza]

We get smashed in this one and Buckley should be replaced. He's had all preseason to prepare for it. Another Freo Collingwood round 1 2013 performance and that's enough.

Give it up ya clown.

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

I'm tipping Crisp to kick 4 goals.

 

[THATSGOLD]

I'm tipping Crisp to kick 4 goals.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 5.
