Game Day Round 23, 2025 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

My wife told me to stop singing "I'm A Believer" or she'd kill me. I thought she was kidding.

But then I saw her face...

 

[harvester]

Finals start tonight, we'll win by 23 points

I just read the article on lions.com about Luke Beecken making his debut, this line quoted from Fages makes me think(sadly) that Beccken will be the sub. https://www.lions.com.au/news/18606...w77vYN8_y5MaOjskhA_aem_GIXP1iwnsqqGm_zWER5ycw

"But I know however many minutes you actually get you are going to come out and give it everything you have got and that’s all we can ask of you."

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[JasRulz63]

The way the team is selected I think Beecken will be the sub. Reville will play with the HFF/wing rotation.

 

[Ceebee]

Like our team , think we will go pretty well .

 

[Coastal Lion]

So Day and Smith in the same team?

Yeah Beecken will be the sub. We don't need 8 defenders

Unless Starce is a late out

 

[Bucking Beads]

Just win FFS!

 

[Sproj]

You don’t me to tell you this is a massive game. We win, premiership defense is well and truly on. We lose, even if we make finals your think it’s all over. Injuries and injury clouds at the wrong time of year.

 

[dlanod]

Smith is an out.

And yes you made me double check in case I'd read it wrong last night.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Weather in Perf: dry, gentle breeze
Please kick straight ffs

 

[vic_LION]

GO LIIOONNS!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Hostile crowd
No umpire no.22
Guaranteed to win

I think you get banned for posting sliding doors around here. We will remember you.

It’s pretty spot on though , to be honest .

It is, but I don’t make the rules around here

I absolutely love your game day jokes, ZoBlitz.

If it was 3 months ago I would've loved trying Beecken down back and give Fletcher time on ball but I don't think we should stuff around too much with our setup this late in the season in a crunch match

Agree. However he has been playing his best footy the last month or so. I guess it's worth a roll of the dice.

A little ironic given Fages copes some bagging for not making changes. Fingers crossed this is one works out.

IF you post Damian Barrett’s Sliding Doors article

THEN you are no friend of mine.

Felt like last week was the right time given all our backs that were out

Now gets a game likely as sub

A bit puzzling really

Debuting as sub rarely brings out the best in a player. They are so pumped up why not give them a full game!

It's lucky sub use doesn't have a huge impact on the game as we are the wooden spooners at it!
