Review Round 17, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Port Adelaide

[p4p1]

Day played in the Collingwood and GWS losses

Yep, you're right I am misremembering the stat. But it is about an 80% win ratio with day compared to somewhere around 50% or just above without Day.

We haven’t lost this season with both Fort and Oscar playing

[Happy_Neale]

Day played in the Collingwood and GWS losses

So you’re saying we haven’t lost away from the GABBA with him in the side

 

[Nathan Barley]

So you’re saying we haven’t lost away from the GABBA with him in the side

We also haven’t won a Thursday night game with him in the team and are undefeated on Thursdays this year without him

 

[Happy_Neale]

Would be interested to know how we go when it’s a waxing crescent and he’s in the team compared to other stages of the lunar cycle

 

[martinson]

McLachlan's played in 5 games this year 3 away and 2 at the Gabba and we've won every one of them , 3 against Top teams.

People are barking up the wrong tree with Day. Shagga has an impeccable record. Just because he hasn't done much at all doesn't mean he isn't the reason we win when he plays.

For home games i always wear my winning Lions shirt until we lose.

I then find a change of clothing gets the team back on track

Trialing McLachlan as a key forward in place of Day is a bold strategy Marty, lets see how it plays out.

 

[thedigger]

I think they are very worried about Oscar about how is travelling with fitness,if he breaks down we are going to have Fort and Day for the rucks.

 

[Nunez]

Henry Smith will displace Day if he gets fit and firing IMO. No guarantee he does though

 

[Section 5]

I am sure he is just joking but maybe this could be added to the Hinkley preview

'When are they going to pull it down?' Hinkley's Gabba quip after injury woes

Ken Hinkley can't believe his club's luck after enduring a second night of injury chaos at the Gabba in four seasons

[dlanod]

It's McLachlan's ruck work that should get him a nod in place of Day.

 

[Sunny Land]

Henry certainly shows promise but promise won't get him a regular spot in the 22. I like what he can do especially before he was injured this year but he needs to play. Having him come on as a footballer is a significantly better option than OA or Draper in my opinion....fingers crossed he gets a fair run at it soon.

 

[Tom14]

Does McLachlan take enough contested marks though?

 

[luthor]

Does McLachlan take enough contested marks though?

Don't know.

But Day is hardly a contested mark beast

Think I need 3KZ is Football's opinion on this one.

Preemptively:-

"Neither can hold a candle to Lester"

 

[3KZ is Football]

Think I need 3KZ is Football's opinion on this one.

He’s not, but he seems like a good bloke and he does a lot of stuff that goes unnoticed.

 

[Perrip]

 

[Section 5]

Very lucky but will take those types of goals by Lions players anytime.
But hate it when the opposition fluke one.

The joys of irregular verbs ... we have skill, they are flukey!
