Lions by 10 goals

Is it raining on Saturday?

 

[NetworkNerd]

Gees this will be ugly. Like Hawthorn, West Coast will only be motivated for a few games. Vs St kilda was one. This will not be one of them

 

[3KZ is Football]

The result here is a foregone conclusion and the only question relates to how much the Brisbane Lions win by. I suspect somewhere between 80 and 110 points.

 

[DanWA]

No injuries for either club

You’re too kind.

 

[3KZ is Football]

You’re too kind.

Sorry Wosh, but if we can beat Richmond by 81 points last round, I think we are looking at the same margin against your Eagles.

That said, 'Hubris' is a fatal flaw (Hamartia) and perhaps the 'Football Gods' will punish Lions supporters for their excessive confidence. Stranger things have been known to happen. Round 24, 1991 is good example of this as the Lions, who were bottom of the ladder, took on West Coast, who were sitting atop the ladder, having only lost two games for the season.

 

[Zevon]

This has a “set up a big early lead then cruise” feel about it to me, so I’m not sure the margin will be quite as gargantuan as some are suggesting. Brisbane by 60-70.

 

[PCORF]

I think it will be another 100 point thrashing for West Coast.

 

[Power Raid]

The lions by 10 goals half way through the second

then take the foot off the gas to win by 57

to kick Fourteeeeeen!

 

[Son of Superboot]

As much as we would all like the lions to nudge the Fitzroy record (190 pts), they will win, but maybe by only 60-100 pts. **** will talk about the respect they have for those champion WCE players still playing (are there any) and about defensive structures. It would be nice to see Smoking Joe and Harley Charlie to kick bags, so they can leapfrog up the Coleman ladder, just like all other key forwards (Tex 10, Curnow 9).

Expect to see the Lions get an early lead, +50 by 1/2 time, and then just cruise the second half, with eagles to possibly outscore them in the last quarter.

Lions by 72pt

 

[Toffee Lion]

I find it a tad disrespectful the talk about this match.

The Eagles will have a good chance to test their kids against a flag fancy away from Optus. No better chance to really see what they can do with zero pressure as everyone is talking about 100+ loss. The opportunity is there to prove the doubters wrong, that doesn't mean go out and win but even a respectable 30-40 point loss and winning some key areas would be huge.

Don't forget the Lions lost to the Hawks not that long ago. People will point to the MCG sure but it's still a sign that the Lions can play down to their opponent.

Lions by 35-40 in a match that is always under control but not a mauling.

 

[NetworkNerd]

West coast can still make the 8... Alot needs to go their way along with winning every game.. big

Bye and MCG also Hawks beat Eagles by 116 points

they have won only 1 game seems impossible with only 8 games left

Improbably yes. Impossible no.

 

[Viceregal]

A it says in that classic The Gambler ...'every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser'**.

Yes the probablilites are high for a Lion's win, lower for a percentage booster (we don't really do that) and a lot lower for an Eagles' win but low probability <> impossibility.

I am hoping to watch a demolition and cringe at the thought of the Lion's Board after loss to them but that's why we watch the game to see how it plays out






** and the best that we can hope for is for the umpires to stay out of it

 

[3KZ is Football]

Brisbane hasn’t announced their team
yet. It is a real line in the sand moment for Fagan. If he selects Jack Gunston

after he has four weeks off and demonstrated ZERO good form to support his inclusion, then FAGAN will have demonstrated that he had lost the plot. Forward line has been functioning better WITHOUT Gunston, but Fagan seems to not want to admit he made a huge blunder signing Gunston to a multi-year deal at Brisbane. He very much appears to be putting himself above the club if he selects Gunston for the game on Saturday.

At the same time, players who are in great form, week in and week out I’m the reserves are not selected under Fagan. It is corrosive stuff. I would be happy for Fagan to make 2023 his last year if he gets this wrong.

Imagine this post every hour.

That's what we have to put up with on the Lions' board from 3KZ.

Shittiest groundhog day ever.

Gunners is back great to see he’s done he’s due diligence

That’s not quite accurate. Plenty of posters melting about this charity selection on the Lions Board.


FAGAN ABSOLUTELY STINKS IT UP! Changes game plan and selects out of form player because he’s a pet, while ignoring in form reserves players who are slogging their guts out trying to earn selection in the Seniors. An ‘in form’ Kai Lohmann ignored for the role Callum Ah Chee was playing for Jack Gunston. LAUGHTER. I double dare Fagan to pick Gunston when we play Melbourne at the MCG next week and then Geelong at the Gabba.

I agree with you & them completely.

I still hate your continual fagan condescending posts.
