[Power Raid]

This will be a great contest, if the Lions kick straight

Tigers by 14

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Go Brisbane

 

[Yidaki]

I think it's like the last 11 or 12 times that the Tigers have beaten the Lions. I don't see that changing here. How the Tigers set up structurally along with their game plan seems to really trouble the Lions.

I know the Lions will be out for revenge, but it just won't be enough. Tigers are basically full strength.

Tigers by 29.

 

[juss]

Interested to see what Fagan will do differently to try and break the hold we have on the Lions, does he back his business as usual or throw a curve ball?

Should be a cracking game, I think the Lions are a better chance than given credit on here.

 

[Tackle Bag]

Tipping a close one.
Both sides will be hoping their injured players get up and it could be the difference.
Harris for the Lions, Lynch and Prestia for for the Tigers.

I’m tipping Tigers by 20 points.

 

[living_in_syd]

Lions due for a win against us. If they can kick straight early anything can happen

 

[Football Tragic]

Interesting that many people believe the reason why the Lions have kicked so many points against Richmond is poor execution. This is not correct (well not completely correct). The biggest reason is that the Tigers have shut down the corridor to Brisbane forcing them to enter their F50 wide. This makes kicking for goal much more difficult.

Last game, Fagan attempted to move around this strategy but having his players switch the ball more regularly and use short kicks. It worked initially, but then we shut that down.

If the Lions are prepared to take us on through the middle and risk turnovers, they can beat us. If they try and play conservative football or overdo the risky play, we'll slaughter them.

 

[living_in_syd]

Have you not seen Lions other games? Its well known they miss easy shots. They tidy that up they can win

Tigers by 29.

15 in a row. I'd say only the last 3/4 in a row are relevant, the rest is just interesting trivia

 

[Sherrinator]

The last couple of weeks we’ve kicked better scores - player riskier but have leaked points like a sieve. No coincidence this is due to Andrews absence. Will be out for this game sadly. If Lynch is back, Payne will be in for a day to match his name.

Yes this is correct. Hipwood is a good example can miss the easy ones yet slot the difficult ones.

Andrews is back...

 

[dean33]

The last time Brisbane got within 25 points of us was 2014.
Think we’ll be primed for this and I expect a similar result to the qualifying final last year.
Tigers by 47.

Without Andrews, matching up on both Lynch/Riewoldt would be tough, but Andrews is probable to play. Lynch is probably less of a chance to get up than Andrews is.

 

[Sherrinator]

Andrews is back...

Is this club propaganda or do we have a really good medical team?

All reports is that he will play. Andrews confident.

 

[THE_GUN]

Personally i dont believe the Lions have the game plan to beat the Richmond 'System'

Lynch will certainly be up for this game and catching up with Robbo

Tigers have a different sort of confidence against the Lions and they will be extra determined to continue the roll against them

Tigers 26 points on a beautiful night in nice Dewy gabba surphace where its nice and slippery

 

[telsor]

Not really a lot of propaganda benefit.

Richmond is unlikely to be making huge plans for how to deal with him after all.

If he plays, then we do what we've done previously (maybe some small alterations from what we learned last time).
If he doesn't play, then we try and see if Lynch/Reiwoldt can exploit his replacement.

Not exactly rocket science or the stuff that will drag a lot of strategising away from other stuff.

 

[queensberryrules]

As usual, punters running around with a thought, a characterisation that has taken hold that may be flat wrong.

In recent games between these 2 teams results have flattered rfc, and while they appeared to win well, lions need only to make adjustments and fine tune some things to turn the tables. This game is not the foregone conclusion many are saying. Lions have no trouble getting the ball and scoring against rfc and if they can be more assured and less anxious they will make it tough. Don't be duped by the uncritical media who as a herd just run from one assumption to another.

 

[Do the Dew]

Reports state that Charlie Cameron has already taken 10 nervous poos at the prospect of facing Grimes again.

 

[dean33]

Reports state that Charlie Cameron has already taken 10 nervous poos at the prospect of facing Grimes again.

Apparently Mitch Robinson was in the stall next to him on each occasion.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Richmond by 40+. I don't see Brisbane getting close.

 

[M Malice]

Is this club propaganda or do we have a really good medical team?

The club and Andrews himself have said he is likely to play, he has been running well for a week or so and he's going to participate in a full training session later this week.

 

[DontArgue4]

Will be close IMO

Amazing that Andrews has recovered and its actually sounding like Lynch is more likely to miss despite having a far more minor injury
