Preview Round 12 - Melbourne v Brisbane Lions @ Giants Stadium, Friday 4 June 2021 7:50pm

[MacMum]

Yep me too, sorry to break it to you Dalions but the perception that time is flying is a symptom of aging..... I suppose the upside is aging beats the alternative.

What actually happens is that a certain secretive age is triggered and the time is put on fast forward for us oldies

 

[BangyBangy]

Could be depending on the other games, e.g. whether St Kilda and Sydney will play in Syd or in Cairns if St Kilda can get an exemption. Might be a concern about how many games the SCG can safely host with the surface.

More likely just working out the finer details of how many grand final corporate box tickets are going to be allocated to the various departments.

Look on the bright side MacMum at least this lockdown will fly for you

Its probably going to be extended!!

Nothing more certain. My guess is greater Melbourne will be in lockdown for another two weeks, maybe with a slight relaxing halfway through that period.

[Harris Specter]

Can understand the delay on the Pies. Not even Collingwood supporters want to watch them play.

I think the Crows supporters would rather want to play the Port Adelaide Magpies (SANFL) instead of Collingwood themselves

Silver lining for me, if lockdown extended, is I get to watch Us play Melbourne live . If not extended then up at 2:30am Saturday for work - so in bed before game.

It'll be interesting to see what sort of crowds they get to these, Crows v Pies and Dockers v Dogs will be standard type crowds of course, Bombers v Tigers Dreamtime at the O might get a half way decent crowd, the other 3 games not expecting anymore than a few thousand at each.

I'm expecting our Sydney residing Lions BF contributors to be mightily loud on Friday night.

The Sydney vs. St. Kilda match would probably be a good crowd over there, given it's now a Sydney home match for them instead of later in the year which has been swapped around.

But I agree with JasonMP, I'm expecting BIG things from all of you Lions supporters on here that are from NSW and are going to the game

Doh, I'm a silly billy, didn't read it properly.

I've never understood that as a journalist, Tom Browne's grasp on grammar is so appalling. His tweets are almost unintelligible.

Anyone with any useful skills would choose a career other than being a footy journalist.

Anyone with any useful skills would choose a career other than being a footy journalist.

He would have probably only got into footy journalism because his dad is Jeff Browne, who was head of Channel 9 and also the ex legal counsel of the AFL. And soon to be president of Collingwood if he can manage to throw the existing board out.

 

[SL16]

Unchanged imo.

Unless Neale is 110% fit, in which case Neale for Prior.

 

[Mighty Lions]

Unchanged imo.

I think Neale will play......replacing Matheson or Robertson

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Good to see Lachie do full training. Low chance of re injuring it. Get him in there

 

[jackess]

Neale at 70% is going to be better than Dev or Matho (look at the Carlton game when he played injured). If they're confident he won't reinjure his ankle then he'll play.

Hi mate, hearing that Lester's pretty much certain to come into the side. Do you reckon Madden goes out for him?

This is not in any way Supercoach related btw

 

[Suitcase]

In: Neale, Lester
Out: Mathieson, ??

Big selection headache if Lester and Neale come in. I think Prior and Dev will hold their spots, Ah Chee or Madden to be the unlucky one to miss.

 

[davemc_lions]

going to be hard outs
Neale and Lester in for one of Prior, Matho, Dev, Kiddy or Madden

Might be Kiddy and Matho.. With Ah Chee back to forwardline

 

[M Malice]

If it's Neale and Lester back in I think the outs will be Mathieson and Coleman, Neale straight swap for Matho, Lester back 6 for Ah Chee who replaces Coleman's role.
