Preview Portkidz vs Lioncubz at the Gabba Sat April 6th 6.55pm Adelaide time

[GremioPower]

It’s not “literally identical” as their percentage is significantly ahead of ours thanks largely to smashing the reigning premier by 8 goals. It was an impressive performance but I also agree that one swallow doesn’t make a summer. A win is certainly on the cards if we select and play well.

Yes, but they struggled against North up until the middle of Q3. They were losing by 22 points before running the Roos over.

Both teams will try to emulate their games in R1. However, neither team will get tired as Eagles and Demons did. It should be a close game up to the end.

Yep - I don't think anyone is saying that Port can't win. But underestimating how good the Lions are would be foolish: if we go missing for 15 minutes, they could easily hit us with 7 goals in that time, so only a 4 quarter effort will be good enough.

Dan Houston will stop them in their tracks ..

I am already melting, but I am not sure is due the late hot weather...

I will melt regardless of the line-up. Damn!

Brisbane have got this now

 

[klem22]

With selections made and some serious questions along with them the only thing now that will win this game imo is the preparations strategies and mind set of the coaches. If these guys have not done their home work and sold the vision to the players we wont win this. It will be a real battle if we get all things in place if not it will be time to revisit the thread ilostmyfaithinhinkley!

Actually we have similar feelings about the guy so maybe if he hates us both we might just get a decent job of umpiring out of the maggot honourable umpire ... nah.

He might hate the Lions, but he reeeeeally hates us.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Razor normally gives the Lions an okay go IMO.

If it was Nicholls I'd be writing us off already. Jilted ex-Lions employee hates us.

Everyone thinks Nicholls hates them. When you make as many shit calls as he does, just by the law of averages you're gonna end up making enough shit calls against every team to convince their supporters that you hate them specifically. He's not biased, just incompetent.

Port by 23

Gray* to go god mode after starting the year off slowly with 5 goals. Rockcliff and wines to combine for 70 disposals and an unprecedented amount of centre clearances. Howard to hit new record of one percenters.

He will look after Hodge.

And he will dominate. Umpiring with a 16 gamer and a 100 gamer.

Needs big Scotty to issue Good Bloke with the Greg Phillips warning (co-captain Tommy already being on his last warning).

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Brisbane remind me of how we're playing at the moment a bit. They're a young, exciting team that are playing above themselves and like us they're an immature team which means they're beatable because they're relatively inexperienced to all that can occur within a game.

Watching Fagan's press conference after the Roos game shows hes cautiously optimistic about his team and moreso hoping and not expecting the wins and good form can continue for the season.

Its a great matchup for us, whereas Melbourne were cooked and Carlton couldn't sustain the pressure over 4 quarters we'll be playing a team that will be harder to break.

A terrific summary that I think is correct on all points.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Hell, you guys bled some serious talent for a while there, Redden, Polec, Crisp, Yeo, Docherty, Aish. Well done on reversing things around!

I fixed it for you.

 

[simmo_bc]

Looking forward to this game, should be free flowing.

I hope we kick butt but also glad to see the Lions up and about again.

Boakie to confirm to the AFL what most of us already know, he is still an elite footballer.

 

[simmo_bc]

Also, got to say, so far, captaincy does not suit Jonas.

Really? I think he is a born captain but would prefer that he was sole captain.

 

[LP7_]

Lost at selection imo.
