[Power Raid]

port will struggle to find a way to goal and a lack of height in defence always hurts against the lions

lions by 27

 

[Handsome_Jack]

We're gonna get absolutely dicked, Lions by 40

 

[timokane]

lions by 3 points

 

[M Malice]

Footy's back.

 

[Arr0w]

Port 18

 

[HugeJohnson]

With a veteran like Ken in the box and his rumoured brand new gameplan, can't see us dropping this one at home. Port by 42 and a statement to be made to the competition. We're here to give it a red-hot shake this season.

 

[Zevon]

Bullish on the Lions this year and think it all starts with a strong win against Port away from home.

Lmao why is that thread locked

Just gotta keep terrorising Lachie.

 

[SC26]

Interesting to note that Port have not a lost a r1 home game since 2008.
(Although that's helped by not having had one since 2018)

 

[nahnah]

Port by 18

 

[Mayes2Gray]

We will get pumped. Game lost 15 minutes into the first qtr with an “honorable” fight back in the last, bringing the game back within 40pts after being down by 73 at 3qtr time.

 

[blueiris]

Does Port have the defenders to go with the Lions 3 tall forwards Hipwood is usually dominant against the Power

 

[ibd77]

Transition year for Port so intensity won't be there for this match. If Brisbane are serious for the flag this season, the match should be done and dusted in the first 10 minutes.

 

[Dangerousfield]

I like a bet on the footy so scooped up the $1.98 on offer for Brisbane. On form and team changes since last season, Brisbane should win this in a canter and kick a heap of $ into my betting account.

 

[demondavey]

Port by 22

 

[McIvor]

Hoping to win of course, but Port can't be underestimated particularly at home.

Round one away games also make me nervous and certainly wouldn't be surprised if Port roll us on their home deck.

Should be a very good game tho for the neutrals.

 

[Marmozet]

I think we'll be competitive but Brisbane will still prevail by 4 goals.

 

[I Dont Care]

We gunna get creamed

 

[Warwick]

Yeah because you want to be running a sub-11 second first 100 in the marathon.

 

[ElectricG]

Yeah, I feel like we’re due for a win against Brissy but just don’t see it happening.

 

[ibd77]

Yeah because you want to be running a sub-11 second first 100 in the marathon.

We need to be Ben Johnson to win this match but we will haul out Eric the Eel I reckon.

 

[blueiris]

just watched last year’s replay Daniher really should have had 5 goals if not for that hilariously handball to cocky in the 1st quarter Lions 3 talls against Ports small defenders could be the difference
