Does this game have to happen? Can't we just forfeit?

 

[Elixuh]

Bombers entitled to play the MSD picks they take earlier in the day on Thursday. Do it Bombers.

Maybe a Lions or Suns VFL player to save on travel?

 

[voorhees]

Don's would want to bring it or this could get messy for them

 

[iBeng]

Draw anyone?

 

[jannissary]

this'll be a slaughter. looking forward to it.

 

[JayJ20]

With McKay confirmed to be out, we literally have no KPDs left to select from. Barely any talls left to choose from. At least the MSD is next week.

This will be a proper belting.

 

[Skipper_]

We quite literally have about 4 healthy talls on the entire list.

Revisiting the top up days.....

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Want this season to be over

 

[Toffee Lion]

Mindset is such a big factor in footy. Bombers can make the trip up with the backs up against the wall mindset.

Only have to look at our performances against "lesser" teams to see that if you jump Brisbane early, you're with a shot of causing a boilover.

If the Bombers can get on-top in the midfield, they can absolutely still win this game. Lions are very dependant on the midfield brigade this year.

In saying that, if the Bombers go up with a "woe is us" attitude, they will absolutely get slaughtered.

 

[Humblebob]

Brisbane by 150.

 

[aflstatsiq]

Lions should be easy... :d only tough part is the travel

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

We have no key talls in defense all injured we are relying on Prior,Laverde,Redman,Roberts,McGrath. which ever players we pick in the msd will play on Thursday that's how dire our injury crisis is.

 

[Vindicater]

So we currently have 9 of our top 12 tallest players Injured...

The three not injured are

Goldstein - Old ruck
Visintini - Second year ruck
Wright - Forward-Ruck

We have Laverde as a KPD...

THats it.

 

[raskolnikov]

This won't be pretty.


Bombers by plenty.

Crazy never seen anything like it

Sounds like McKay may only miss one or 2 games wont know till the scan results come in

 

[BangyBangy]

Do you guys have enough to field a team?

Need to borrow any from our squad to fill spots?

Draper, Bryan, Edwards, Hayes, Ridley, Reid, Langford, McKay, Cox, Jones, Guelfi, El-Hawli and Nguyen I believe is our injury list.

We will ikely draft a KPD on Wednesday and he will have to play.

Lions easily strong favourites with the Bombers missing key players. Lions by 5 goals.

I'd be stoked to lose by only 5 goals tbh

As a neutral I’d be hoping for a competitive game and maybe even a surprise or two. Footy’s full of twists, so you never know!
