Game Day Brisbane Lions v Collingwood, Round 5 2019, April 18, 7.35pm.

[M Malice]

Lets get this party started. The Lions of the North are coming, it will be a long dark night for the Magpie army from South of the wall.

We are the hunters the Pies are the hunted, let the Gabbatoir be great again.

The last time I remember it happening was something about Aker and it was ... not positive.

This one looks better

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

I love this thread - I think it's probably my favourite weekly of the footy season, win/lose/draw.

You get ya LID OFF. A few SHARP DROPS. Some RUBBING THEIR NOSES IN IT. And at the end....who knows? Ecstasy? Joy? Disappointment? Emptiness?

It's like all your Christmas and Birthday pressies as a kid rolled into one bundle - EVERY WEEK!!

I got my scarf on. I got coffee brewing. I got music. And best of all.....I HAVE THE ANTICIPATION OF WATCHING THE MIGHTY LIONS CRUSH THE PIES

 

[Milux]

Any idea on what time gates open?

Pretty keen to get rid of this lid. Collingwood were pretty rubbish last round. Hopefully we can bring the intensity required to get on top through the middle.

One guy on the bus and one of my clients at work have already noticed my Lions gear. I am pumped.

Even better is my sinus headache is just about gone so I'm going to go wild at the game and deal with the consequences later.

To those expecting a very poor result - it's been a while since we've been beaten convincingly at the Gabba. The last round of 2017 against North would probably be the last time it happened. We've become pretty consistent with the level of effort we bring at home, and I'd be surprised if that dropped off tonight on this occasion.

I don't think we'll win, but I think it will be close.

Public gates open- 5.45pm, be there or be square.

The start of GAME DAY at the House of Sausages....

HULK SMASH on Twitter against monsters with 2 right wings.

JARVIS, CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING SIR? as I prepare coffee and music for myself.

DR STEPHEN STRANGE as I think about the implications of the philosophical infinite.

CAPTAIN AMERICA, WE DO IT AS A TEAM on LIONS Game Day Thread.

Hahahaha there was footage of Eddie putting a 'Salary Cap' on Graham Downie's head (at the 40 second mark). God he's such a prick.

Now that I think about it didn't the AFLW grand final fiasco get a front cover? Don't know that it got the back cover as well.

Public transport scares me though! I’ll never know what bus to catch in or out/get lost on the bus .

It was a blessing to experience that era.

FWIW, if you search for 1 tickets I see 2 remaining in section 44. But I still think we can call that sold out.

As much as it hurts to say it, this Collingwood side have some serious talent, pretty much in all departments. I can see us putting up a fight for a fair part of the game and then the Pies running away with it. If Collingwood can keep their better players on the park I can see them winning the flag this year.

[Dalions]

Currently on the Gold Coast camping for the Easter Long Weekend but won’t be missing this game. Will be driving back this avo. Can’t wait.
Hope the boys pretty quickly get back into form for this one they will need to, to stand any chance!
Go Lions!

I shudder at the thought of being caught in easter traffic and missing a single moment of the game. Should be clear by 6.30ish but just in case we are aiming to get to a pub in the area at 5.30. The sacrifices we make for our team.

 

[patfullfankezz]

I take back what I said. My headache has returned after being at work for an hour.

Please let us win.
