The Lions are playing a good team oriented style of footy at the moment and should win this game at The Gabba
The Dockers have injury problems especially in defense and will have to play well to match the Lions at home
On form the Lions should win this encounter by 4+ goals
However no game in the AFL competition is easy.
The Dockers will be on the road for 2 weeks and lets hope WA is back to normal soon

Yeah I'm not looking forward to this.

I don't even know if I want to watch this!

Going to be a much closer game than people think. Fyfe, Mundy and Brayshaw won’t be easy for our midfield with no Neale and perhaps still no Berry.

Lions by 12

Didn't stop West Coast last week. Our defence is pretty much all on the sidelines and I don't like Cox against either Daniher or Hipwood. No excuse for Brisbane to win by anything less than 5 goals at the bare minimum considering how you've been playing at the Gabba.

Brisbane by 76

 

[Angus Young]

yeah nah

 

[RonnieRaven]

After watching this weeks footy shows
I thought our team was injury free?!
All I saw and heard was eagles had players out but not one word that we had an injury.
News is dead, it’s now just selected information to help the narrative of a story.
We will bounce back and only lose by 17

 

[Schauermann]

Going to be a much closer game than people think.

Agree.

Lions by 70.

 

[Joao]

Easy 4 points, just a matter of how much we batter them by...

In all seriousness, our midfield would have to dominate because there is no way our B defence is containing that forward line.

Daniher+Hipwood+McStay to combine for 9.17

 

[masai]

Remember that Freo are Freo, ........ lose the games they should win, win the games they are expected to lose !!!.

Having said, I can’t work out how the heck Freo can win.

Brissie by 4+ goals.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

lol this lie

Looks who's shown up in a Fremantle-related thread guys! It's the Lego Batman loving Numero Uno, who says he's not at all obsessed with the Fremantle Dockers

 

[bungalow_bill]

I'm always the pessimist ,wouldn't surprise me if the Lions lost by a goal or two. But at the Gabba we should win but it won't be a huge margin.

 

[showemhowtorock]

We don't even have our seconds defence right now, our best 6 are out and so are half of their replacements. coming up to an team with a solid full strength forward line that are in form. I am afraid

 

[Section 5]

Below from footywire after teams named
A fair bit more experience in the Lions side as expected with the Dockers injury issues
Hard to see Lions loosing this one at home unless they get complacent
But no AFL game is certain

Umpires! McCluggage! You Beauty!

That's my standard contribution in one post.

You're all very welcome.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Dockers forward line are actually giving a pretty good account of themselves. They've hustled well but had some poor luck.

Brisbane winning the battle in the rest of the ground however.

Well our best KPF Taberner has kicked 20 goals and 10 behinds from 6 games this season.

One of our small forwards in Schultz has kicked 10 goals from 5 games

So that's a positive

 

[Asapartyhat]

Fyfe with the miss is now 12 out of 12 for missing shots at goal this season

 

[Freomaniac]

Good mark by Fyfe only to have him spray His shot

 

[MadMundy]

Wouldn't mind Robinson getting his s**t kicked in

 

[Sherrinator]

Wouldn't mind Robinson getting his sh*t kicked in

Haha. Your dog players spend all day tagging him when McCluggage is the one you should be worried about.
