Pretty straight forward ins and outs IMO, Lester was pretty good tonight but for the balance of the side he needs to come out for Harris, no way I'd be omitting Keidean, Mitch Robbo is a better option than Jaxon ATM and brings so much steel and grunt to the side.

Don't really care who we play, reasonably confident we could beat the Cats or Demons next week.

 

[dlanod]

Looking for preview writers again for the coming finals!

PM me ASAP please!

Sexy Lions badges on offer.

No disagreement here and can't see how you can drop kiddy. Has been excellent in the air defensively and has given a heap of run.

I thought Jaxon was actually really really good today and it is a shame he probably misses. Very promising second seasons for both him and Dev and looking forward to them competing to be certain starters next year.

 

[pulpdriver]

Out - Prior, Birchall
In - Andrews, Robinson

I think I would prefer Cats.

 

[Dalions]

Out - Prior, Birchall
In - Andrews, Robinson

I think I would prefer Cats.

Personally I don’t think Birchall offers enough offensively to offset his deficiencies in defense.
Personally I would be happy to send Jaxon Prior back in replace of Birchall and bring Andrews in for Lester.

I like those changes, just I don't see anyway Fages drops Birchall at this stage of the season, just hope to hell it's not Keidean that goes out.

Kiddy was great, can’t see Fages dropping Birch either.
But I honestly think I would.
especially against a quicker side like Melbourne or the Bulldogs.

 

[martinson]

I don't think we can win a flag with Birchall and Lester in the backline.

Plus Gardiner is still very proppy when he has to stretch.

We need to fix this issue if we can . We've had all year to do it so it's probably unlikely we'll start now . Unfortunately.

 

[jackess]

I'd like Payne to play on Rohan

 

[M Malice]

Cats 40 points up against the Demons, almost certain now to be playing the Cats next week, we are going to need Marcus Adams

to do another job on his bunny ie. Tomahawk.

 

[BRAB]

Cats looking ominous.

 

[martinson]

I'd bite the bullet and bring in Payne, Robbo and Harris and ditch Birchall ,Lester and Prior the unlucky one.

It'd be such an un Fagan like thing to do so it won't happen.

But would improve our chances of winning imo.

 

[fugitive]

Will definitely need Robbo back next week to add some grunt and mongrel in the midfield.

 

[Sproj]

We might be playing Melbourne after all and that scares me, we don't match up well.

 

[pulpdriver]

Demons in Adelaide?

 

[M Malice]

It's against the Demons next week, likely to be played in Adelaide you would think, they'll probably play the Port v Cats game on the Friday night as there will be a capacity crowd so we'll probably play Saturday.

 

[On the quiet]

what a night for footy. Lions getting the 1 pointer with 30 seconds left to get in the top 4 and Demons coming from over 30 points behind in the last quarter to win with a goal after the siren. Lions v Demons cannot wait

 

[M Malice]

Who does the loser of Lions v Demons play in the 2nd week of finals the winner of Dogs v Bombers(likely) or Giants v Swans?

 

[On the quiet]

Cats 40 points up against the Demons, almost certain now to be playing the Cats next week, we are going to need Marcus Adams to do another job on his bunny ie. Tomahawk.

like you Jason mp I thought the cats were home. I reckon with a home crowd that would not have given up such a lead.

 

[Nunez]

Fantastic opportunity. Win and make a prelim or lose and learn and hunt them down in the grand final.

 

[fugitive]

We might be playing Melbourne after all and that scares me, we don't match up well.

That assessment based on half a game? We can beat anyone on the day, no home ground advantage for dees, double chance. Nothing to be scared of!

 

[pulpdriver]

Won't our game be the Friday nighter?

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Who does the loser of Lions v Demons play in the 2nd week of finals the winner of Dogs v Bombers(likely) or Giants v Swans?

Pretty sure it's the winner of the Sydney teams.

 

[M Malice]

I thought that too, IIRC they usually give the minor premiers the Friday night game, just thought with Port being at home they would go with that one as the blockbuster sell out prime time clash.

Maybe. Minor premiers usually get it though and Friday night is more about tv ratings than attendance.
