Game Day Round 19, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

[ZoBlitz]

Someone tried to sell me a coffin today.

I said, that's the last thing I need.

 

[Viceregal]

May the Lions that play at Marvel please turn up to play at the Gabba!

GO LIONS!!!!!!!!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Less and less confident about this one as we get closer

Need that finals pressure will be harder with 2 big outs from last week

 

[Bucking Beads]

Lets go lads. A solid win is required. We can't drop these if we want the top 4 spot.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[Dalions]

Cmon Lions
Let’s mount some serious pressure on Bev’s Bogans.
Lions by 41

 

[M Malice]

Dreary drizzly day here by the Gabba, forecast looking a little better for this afternoon at this stage.

 

[Lazza16]

Happy McClugg Day....13pts

 

[Sproj]

I reckon we hit the go switch tonight.

 

[martinson]

Needless to say lose this and things could start to look a bit problematic Ladder wise.

Put in like we have the last two outings and we'll be too good. Too many easy entries into their forward half would spell trouble if they get their game going. This game will tell us a lot about covering the loss of Payne and Answerth.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Come on 3 o clock.
Knock off time.
And hoping for little rain if any.
Bulldogs like the rain .
Watching the game last night , gees not much uncontested play,so many turnovers.
Makes me appreciate the way we play even more so than I do.
Again the uncontested ball might depend on the weather.

100%.... such big holes to fill against a team like the dogs with such scoring power.

Let's hope the mids turn up, apply pressure and tackle. If we do that we'll be ok I reckon.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Hope the boys are more geed up for tonight than I am.

 

[Ceebee]

Please win boys .

 

[Nunez]

Seem to have dodged the rain. Should be a great night for fast footy.

 

[troppo]

Certainly worried about tonight’s game. Their strength is our weakness, the tall forward line will stretch our injury depleted defence. Harris will have to take Darcy and that will mean he won’t be in position to take as many defensive marks. I guess it is up to our on ballers to limit their forward fifty entries and a repeat of last week’s forward defensive tackles would also help. We need to at least break even on centre clearances. It is a big ask but we can do it. Go Lions

Hopefully. The zoom app is still suggesting we get a bit from the south between 7 and quarter time tonight.

Yes. If our pressure is off the boil it will stick out like dogs balls. Like, even more than usual.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Almost forgot,
Better download the ticket into the wallet.
This should be easy by now.
Now let me see.

I just served the Bont some sushi, I did not wash my hands when preparing it.

Which Bont was it? The normal Bont or or cash converter Bont?

What sushi did he have?

Based on Cadman getting tunneling frees last night, assuming he takes Darcy the General needs to be careful.

 

[Harris Specter]

Not confident at all. Coupled with our Gabba form this year and missing key stars in Payne, Bailey and Answerth, will need a collective premiership statement to win against a desperate Bulldogs

I think the bonus is it should be good for our mindset

we know we need to be really disciplined down back so we will not be giving them all sorts of space

our mids know the backline is vulnerable so they will do a bit more gut-running

incidentally i really hope Marshall starts and Bruce is sub. Bruce has shown to be a breat impact player. Marshall is the best runner in the club so can run his guts out and anticipate sub. use them both to their stengths!

You’re right it could have been one of the other Bonts from bont world. I served him some raw chicken teriyaki sushi.
