AFL 2019 Round 1: Brisbane v West Coast, 7:20pm AEST GABBA

[Coasters7]

Think the weather can’t be understated. Brisbane training and playing in this all summer which also coincides with our weakest conditions for our style. Bit of a joke we got sent there first.. you can guarantee Collingwood wouldn’t have left Melbourne if they won the flag..

Until that tackle I reckon hodge has the look of someone questioning whether he has the fitness, and speed to keep up with this fastly developing Brisbane squad.

Premiership teams should always get a round 1 home game.

Good to see McCarthy fit, will be a jet

 

[Plugger35]

West Coast being embarrassed now.

I thought he’s been the rock tonight.

Solid game.

We weren’t going to get one as it’s Freos alternation.. anywhere but Tassie or Brisbane would have still been nice though. Think we’re still pretty rusty regardless of conditions

Rich gets his T-Rex arms going!

Liking what I'm seeing with the Lions.

 

[rumply]

Not over yet

 

[Benji85]

Brisbane dominating in these conditions, look very sapped after the first quarter. We'll bounce back next week and hopefully with JK and Willie back in the side.

Rough trip to take for the start of the season, shouldn't have to head to Brisbane until mid year. What a bummer, Brisbane look like a good team finally

I hope we dont blow this.

 

[Supersuns]

Moves a bit like Cotchin I think.

More effortless then Cotchin, more like Simon Black or Aker. Just glides along the ground

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Sometimes I like what you write IC - this post, however, falls short of your lofty standards

I stand corrected.

Great start by the Lions

 

[rumply]

Who's on sheed

 

[mick500]

Brisbane cracks starting to appear a bit I reckon. If eagles can take their opportunities, it might not be a big enough lead... Still Brisbane have to be favourites from here.

 

[wcegls]

When is Kennedy back?

Lol. Perfect conditions an excuse these days? Gold.

Maybe just...

Neale obviously joined the Lions so he could beat West Coast again.

 

[SSwans2011]

Andrews will be one of the best defenders of this generation.

When our gameplan revolves around kicking and marking.. yes
These are possibly the worst conditions in football with a home team that’s exploiting them. Brisbane have been just as bad with disposal but they know how to play here in March..
