Unofficial Preview Round 22, 2025 v Swans @ Gabba, Saturday August 9th 4.15pm

[mattsmob]

I like those changes, Bruce to stay as sub for me.

Will be interested to see who gets more mid time, hoping Washy goes straight in there and maybe a bit more from Rayner and Jaspa

McLachlan the other in

Team Announcement: Defender to make long-awaited Lions debut in AFL

The Brisbane Lions have confirmed defender Tom Doedee is set to play his first AFL game for the Club against the Sydney Swans on Saturday afternoon.

That would suggest a shuffling of others to grab Lachie's midfield minutes. I like that outcome.

 

[GenericUsername202]

Maybe Levi could finally get some midfield minutes? Or even Marshall given more time in the centre. I like it.

 

[notliondown]

Only problem is, no matter what, he will only be playing for this 1 game. Lester is too good to drop

It may be Dizz who could be more vunerable.

 

[Harris Specter]

Dev’s cards well and truly marked.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Dev’s cards well and truly marked.

I think we always suspected it'd take more than 1 midfield injury for him to get into the team

 

[Section 5]

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not much experience on the bench

 

[Section 5]

McLachlan likely the sub or Marshall

 

[M Malice]

Marshall, McLachlan or Reville the sub?

Can't wait till Swanny gets rid of the sub in 2026.

Not much experience on the bench

Plenty on field though even without Neale

 

[Bucking Beads]

There's kind of an unhealthy obsession with Dev Robertson in our supporter base. He's a solid footballer but we're making out as if he's the next Will Brodie

This bit has gone on for so long now that it'd be embarrassing for me to admit that I have no idea who Will Brodie is and could not identify him in a lineup. I just picture Charlie Spargo and assume they are equals.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Bit worried about the midfield battle up against Grundy, Heeney, Warner, Gulden and maybe Jordan shutting down Clug. Which is why I'd like Dev to at least bring the tackling to slow them down

Going to be critical for our forwards and backs to hold their own

Regardless of personnel we are going to have to be able to defend at centre bounces better than we have been. 7 goals from that source for Gold Coast and 3 for Collingwood, even tho we were better in that aspect last Saturday.

If we can't get this right Heeney and Warner will cause us all sorts of problems.

Few people in here haven't gotten over his Guernsey being ripped off a few years ago. They're probably hoping for a round 2.

 

[Saucery]

Look out Froggy.

3KZ is setting up position on the grassy knoll as we speak

No way Marshall is the sub. Best 22 already.

 

[Denno]

It may be Dizz who could be more vunerable.

Very much doubt it. Need another tall with Andrews. Neither Lester nor Doedee are it.

 

[Nathan Barley]

No way Marshall is the sub. Best 22 already.

What did I miss from Marshall last week? Sure hes a kid but it really didn't seem like a performance to make him a best 22 lock.

Needs a few games, but the ability is apparent.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Needs a few games, but the ability is apparent.

Ability to do what? He looked solid and not out of place which is an achievement but didn't stand out
