Reminder/call to action: we're still looking for nine preview writers to fill out this year's roster!

Preview - 2021 Brisbane Lions preview writers sought!

Every year we have round by round previews written by posters on our forum. They're repeatedly some of the most popular threads of the year, so once more - we're looking for volunteers to take each week in the forthcoming season! Preemptive thanks for anyone throwing their hat in the ring...

No more cases. I think the game will go ahead in Perth.

Don't agree with dropping anyone playing well. Leave Birchall in. Gardiner comes back and Madden goes back (bad luck).

I suppose those who want Birchall droppped/managed agree with a player who has just kicked a goal coming to the bench?

What is the time difference in a flight Melbourne to Brissie and Perth to Brissie? Two hours? Bugger all really.

Probably more like 3 I reckon.

hoping for game to go ahead in Perth with no crowd

I wonder how Berry Senior would go with Neale being out? He would be on the ball for more of the game rather than at starvation corner (half forward flank) for much of the game.

I have also mused in the past on Berry Senior off a half back flank but talking about HBF isn't Starc taking his game to a new level?

Get Berry over his injury. Don't rush him back.

I love Jarrod, not sure how effective he would be as a more permanent inside mid though, lacks vision sometimes and gets caught when you'd expect him not to.

His best role for me would be sharing his time between wing and forward with short stints as an inside mid using his bulk, or in a tagging role on the likes of Dusty, Fyfe, Bont, Danger, Petracca.

Best possible result for us would be for the game to go ahead in Perth with no / limited crowd. Especially as Freo got pumped this week and they would be pretty low on confidence.

Gets the Perth trip out of the way before the bye and we finish with 4 straight games at the Gabba.

6 in a row at the Gabba might be a bit cushy in the lead up to the away game in Melbourne.

6 in a row? Our Rd 18 & 19 games are against Richmond & Hawthorn in successive weeks at the MCG before 4 at home to finish off the home & away season.

We also play at Adelaide Oval in round 16

If the game is in Perth the only change I see is

Gardiner- in
Birchall - out

Preview - Round 8 2021, Fremantle vs Brisbane Lions, GABBA!, Sunday 9th May 4:40pm AEDT

FOREWORD At the time of writing, there is still a possibility that this game may be moved to the GABBA, or remain in Perth but have no spectators, like the Derby on Sunday. It all depends on the COVID cases in WA and their numbers over the next few days, and whether QLD will allow them in...
