If we are serious, and all the talk from the club about turning a corner isn’t just hogwash, we win this game by 4+ goals.

Brisbane are on the up, and they’re tough at home, but they are not a top 4 team. At best they’ll win 1 final this season.

The team that smashed the crows, cats and eagles will smash the lions. Especially on the home deck. Yet will that team show up? Who knows, but if they don’t, all pressure back on Hinkley. We are too talented of a list to keep underperforming.

Certainly admire brisbane this year but take a close look at their results this year. They have won 10 games - 7 at the gabba 1 at gold coast and only 2 on the road north in round 2 and gws last week which was to their credit a good win. And they have also lost to carlton. They are a good side but just ok away from the gabba i expect us to win and also think we may finish above them at the end of the minor round.
Ports by 22
We're also 4 - 1 against top 8 teams.

FWIW I expect Port to win.

By far the best side we will play this year.
Geelong are dismal, Wce away was close to the best side. But match up wise this lions side is legit and can really open us up.

We need to smash them in the contest like we did the crows because if they get it on the outside its all over. Teams that move the ball quickly and have pace through the midfield is our biggest concern, brizzy do that, the other really poor match up for us is Essendon, and how have those results gone recently.. Teams that have fast clever small forwards can damage us, brizzy have that.

We can win, obviously, but we have to attack every contest with the ferocity we did the crows, give them no time.

Looking at each sides strengths and weaknesses the lions should easily be favourites.

1st in the comp in time in forward half

Sorry, but I’ll stick with Port to win, thanks all the same.

It seems like Dixon always runs under the ball on his leads , maybe we try to kick it a bit shorter this week , we tend to think it’s Dixon’s fault and he’s mistiming his leads or whatever but yea maybe try making sure it’s not over his head because there would have been 4 of those on Sat where he was in front , in position for a shot on goal with a mark but he ran under the ball .
In big games if we can maximise our forward 50”S we”ll give it our best shot .

I think this is true, but wouldn’t be messing with Charlie’s head too much.

Attack. Kill.
 
Bahaha stats...

Those stats include playing Brisbane, you know.

Anyway, it really doesn’t matter. It’s already done. Doubt us at your peril.

I'm not doubting us.. Just have an understanding of the match up issues that sides like the lions have against us.

Why are we so inconsistent then?
 
How s**t are we... and we are still 8-7

Could take the season by storm If we pulled our finger out!

Sliding doors and stuff, if we won in Brisbane would we be talked about like Brisbane are now?
