Respectful talk welcome. Trolling is for dorks.

 

[timokane]

tipping close one here but lions by 12 points

 

[Cam Payne]

4 v 9. Brisbane by 50.

 

[Elixuh]

Will go in underdogs to this one, up against North who are in the top 4. Hopefully we can just be competitive.

 

[PrancingPony]

Two powerhouses of the AFL going at it in this one. I reckon that North Melbourne will end up coming back down to reality a bit much like West Coast did last week, Brisbane look very good once again, the premiership hangover is done.

 

[JZTIME!]

We would match up quite well with their midfield. With X and FOS out they have the depth to overwhelm us. We have never played well on the smaller ovals in Gather Round and are scored against heavily. Lions by 39

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

No X and no FOS.

Andrews comes back for the Lions.

The Swans V Eagles margin has me a little afraid of the kind of reality check we could be in for.

Would be content if we can get within 6-7 goals.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Danger game. North are flying and top 4. Lions sans McCluggage. Have a feeling they will get up by a couple of goals.

Who is FOS

 

[RonnieRaven]

Lions will cruise to a 20pt win
Roos will continue to play some good footy
But fall short

 

[JackFlash]

Lions will destroy the Roos by 70pts

 

[bungalow_bill]

Who is FOS

 

[Toffee Lion]

I'll go the draw again.

 

[Cool Kangas]

We’ll land back to earth with a big thud.

 

[TheKanga]

Not expecting a win
Competitive effort, keep it under 30pts and get ready for Richmond week after

 

[Elixuh]

Who is FOS

I was genuinely querying this. I got my research team to put together some notes for me.

I understand he is a top 5 pick that has been turned into a tagger.

Interesting.

Maybe watch the footy, u might be surprised any teams have some talent running around.

Pick 5 is quite a high selection to use on a tagger. Usually taggers are backend of the draft and rookie picks.

It will be very interesting to see how it plays out.

As i said watch some football, see his stats compared who he is playing on. Be Like saying Levi Ashcroft is a wasted Top 3 pick because he plays in the backline. U need to watch more footy. There's a post on the main board suggest u have a read

I’m not a big stats guy, I prefer to watch the footy

Interesting.

He doesn't play a standard tagging role, he had 24 the other week while keeping Merrett to 10

 

[JZTIME!]

FOS is important to our team. Has been pivotal in all of our 3 wins. So he will be missed. We don't all have the depth of a Brisbane, so with he and X who needs no validation missing, I've tipped the lions by 6-7 goals

Take some advice and watch some football.

He’s a tagger like Elliott Yeo and Jimmy Bartel
were taggers.

Clarkson even took issue with a journo labelling him a tagger, when he hasn’t asked him to tag anyone.

I think it shows good leadership if he isn’t being asked to tag players but is doing it anyway.
