Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 6 vs. Brisbane. Thur 17/04 @ 7:30pm (Gabba)

[CheckerTrade666]

Selection always throws up surprises. Perhaps we don’t want to go into the game too tall? Will be interested to see if Membrey plays in the reserves since he’s still listed as an emergency.

Allan’s gotta be the sub again unless they think De Goey is not 100%

 

[Kes1984]

Disappointed Membrey out. Managed

That’s selector speak for resting!!

 

[Doc1763]

He was good last week.

Hopefully back for Anzac Day.

Nice to see Jordy back

named as an emergency

 

[JLC]

I am not surprised re Membrey.

We might get a look of our forward line with JDG in it.

For me that's how we get the Brions. There is no Starcevich so reckon JDG, Billy and Bobby will stretch them.

 

[Vicky Park]

Surprised at Members going out but I’m sure there’s a reason.

Fly will have a reason. He’s not randomly throwing pieces around, flailing about trying to get something to click, promoting and demoting players at will.

Think I just described Voss.

 

[Kes1984]

Sub gonna be WHE or Allan you’d think

Would be silly to select a player not 100%. As the sub, he could be called upon early in the match, god forbid there was an injury.

 

[Kirby]

The Lions are actually a fairly short team on paper, especially their backline.

 

[Kes1984]

Actually I suspect JDG gonna be sub based on the snippet I just heard from a fly presser.

 

[windchimes]

Sub gonna be WHE or Allan you’d think

I reckon Allan again.

I suspect WHE reprises his quasi-key forward role from last year in absence of Membrey.

What did he say?

 

[Kes1984]

I reckon Allan again.

Reckon WHE reprises his roaming quasi-key forward role from last year, in absence of Membrey.

Yes Membrey out does open an avenue for Hosk to play where he does his best work

 

[Kes1984]

What did he say?

I need to play it again but I thought I just heard him say about managing him

Just rewinding on kayo to listen again. May have heard wrong

 

[Jelly Bean]

My prediction is that if there are no injuries, it will be Crisp that is subbed off during the game.

 

[JuniorB]

The Lions are actually a fairly short team on paper, especially their backline.

That's probably why Skunk out and Jordy in.

 

[Kes1984]

Yep Fly saying they managed him. He’s a work in progress and see what that looks like in terms of time in ground.

He’s named on the bench

Tipping he’s earmarked to be sub

 

[Peters_Nuts]

i imagine it will be a slippery pill tomorrow night thanks to the humidity so taking away one of our talls makes sense.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Didn't have Membrey as my out

I like us managing the older guys. It's a marathon. Let's be cherry ripe for September.

 

[ottoman]

Hipwood is a salami of the highest order,

This made me lol.
I've never heard anyone be referred to as a salami before. Lol.
I will be using it in the future.

 

[windchimes]

We may have WHE putting some work into Andrews which worked for us in R23 last year.

My bet is Membrey misses to facilitate a forward structure where that happens.

 

[BillyElliott]

Yeah I don't mind it that strategy at all. Just hadn't considered Membrey as the one this week.

 

[Smackdos]

Wasn't preparing myself for Timmy to miss but I guess with Degoey coming in playing forward both don't excell in defensive pressure so perhaps it's a smart move. Extra mid to combat their extensive list of quality mids

 

[thebaldfacts]

Membrey managed and De Goey in. Looks like Jordy will play forward a fair bit.

 

[manicpie]

They used to call me Salami but that's because I'm half Italian.

 

[jimmy35]

Yep smart when you think about I reckon. Just seemed a bit left field but gives us more run, still a quality forward for the Brissie defence to worry about.
WHE also capable of playing a big role up forward as well. Pumped for it.
