Preview Changes v Brisbane Round 15

[stEdy]

Petty could do some rucking if need be, tall aggresive bastard who can take a grab

 

[Dancing Potato]

Just play Spargo in the ruck for the LOLs tbh

 

[netslave]

or don't nominate a ruck for the whole game and just see if we can rove all the oppo ruck's taps.

 

[Jamurp]

Brisbane haven't won at the MCG since 2014. Granted, haven't played there since the weird round 1 of 2020, but still.

Crazy you guys don’t play at the G more often, would get decent support from the old Fitzroy supporters too.

Being a victorian based supporter of the Lions is really not value for money to be honest. Just 4 games in Melbourne this year (at least 2 at the G), which is less than GWS. I'm rusted-on enough to give them my donation but can undersand why others aren't.

 

[schmuttt]

Part of me is confident we'll bounce back and part of me thinks we'll get absolutely pumped.

 

[stEdy]

One thing is that Brissy have failed agains the top teams a number of times this year already

Love thumping teams outside the 8, though

Veryyyyy interesting game. Think im tipping Brissy.

 

[PerfectFooty]

idk as long as mitch brown is nowhere near the senior side

 

[Tulip]

Apparently we're dead last in pressure around the ball at the moment. I guess it relies on improving that.

I guess a positive is thats such an easy area to improve so if we can rectify it we should see a big upswing in form.

 

[schmuttt]

Thursday night is such a terrible timeslot. I've got COVID so won't be able to attend this week anyway, but even if I could I'd choose not to. I live regionally and work in the city, get up at 6am to get to work before 9am via public transport. If I attend the footy I'm getting home at midnight and I already sleep like shit, I'd rather not risking sleeping in for work. The AFL is absolutely idiotic having Thursday night fixtures in the middle of winter in Melbourne, guarantee we get a terrible crowd this week (Sub 20k) and I won't blame people at all for not going.

 

[SugarHealey]

Looks like Weed gets yet another chance next week with our two most experienced players out.
Confident we can win but not with Mr Nice Guy.
Lions bigs will maul him.
Daw hasnt played AFL for years literally.
Who else is there ffs.
Jackson is barely out of his teens. Cant expect him to ruck all day on Mcg.
After the next two games results are in we'll have a good idea where we finish on the ladder.
Lose the next two and we need 3 more wins just to make the 8 starting at Kardinia park after Geelong's recent long relaxing bye which we dont get.

Is it worth really throwing a curve ball, and making Weide No1 ruck, and have LJackson more forward, aiding BBBrown. LJ relieving the Weide.
Just to alter these boys Preconceived notions.

Mental history can be a blessing or a drag.

 

[SugarHealey]

We are the best team in it alongside Brisbane, and even then, our best is better. We will be fine. I am confident we will win the flag again. This rubbish will straighten us out, and if it doesn’t? Just watch the GF replay from last year.

I would think we go in as Underdogs this week.

An interesting thought, once Turner is right to return.

 

[SugarHealey]

He's just ticked over too many miles now, I'm afraid.

 

[demondavey]

Will be absolutely rapt if this is the case

Devil's advocate - as a Dees diehard living interstate, with two young kids, I will have a far better chance of watching a full game than I would on a Saturday afternoon. I love Thursday night footy

 

[Toump Ass]

I am trying to keep small mammals alive too. I don’t like Thursday night games because evenings are for cooking, bath time, playing with nice collection of vintage hot wheels cars and new trash pack toys, housework, reading informative books about construction sites, cardio or weights, wife complaining about letting my children eat egg yolks for lunch, and me complaining about having to be a stay at home parent.

I like to have a nice afternoon or weekend without bitching, chores, and work/household/parental/responsibilities.

I’m cooked by 9pm too.

+1 for the day slot!!!

Yeah I don't disagree about it being good for TV, but it is rubbish for crowds.

 

[PerfectFooty]

As much as we spent years trying to get away from that 1:15pm Sunday slot, that time was based. Never clashed with local footy on a saturday could just go into melbourne and chill and get back at a reasonable time

Is this some sort of subtle troll asking us to fire up the Kingsley thread? If so, bravo.

What's with the egg yolk thing? My son is the same. The only way I can get him to eat the white is to make an omelette... but then he he won't eat it unless I put bacon in it, so I'm not sure it's any better.

Being a stay at home dad is all about picking your battles and trying not to go insane. But at least the kids will appreciate the sacrifice .
