Preview Melbourne Demons v Brisbane Lions Semi Final (Friday 9 September 7:50PM @MCG)

[Squizz89]

Wouldn’t be against putting Jerry into the guts and moving Noah onto the wing with literally the sole focus as being wherever Langdon goes you’re within a metre of him.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Crazy Fages picks out of form Gardiner and his absolute pet Answerth. Mathieson and Prior are desperately unlucky.

 

[Thomasno]

Gutted for matho, he didn't get much of it last week but when the game was there to be won in the last minute he was huge

I hope it’s not a proper drop and more just spinning the magnets for Melbourne

 

[Elixuh]

Good team - will give it a good go

 

[Thomasno]

If Jerry is fit enough he should, he used to be great in the guts before he got injured

 

[FLVanLandingham]

LETS GO LIONS!

whoever is in, whoever is out, lets go hard and try our best

special mention to young Darcy and him getting a 2nd game in a row, well done!

 

[Dalions]

Cmon boys this is our time.

 

[BangyBangy]

Big Kev excited.

Was talking to a mate today & this was the team we hoped for, but wasn't expecting.

No use going with the same style as the last two games & expecting a different result.

 

[Elixuh]

I’m listening to some country road on the bus on the way home to get in the MOOD

 

[CarterS]

One of the more bold selection calls this year I like it

 

[BRAB]

I like that we're trying a different approach. All you can ask for really

 

[AFLQLD]

Assuming one of Robbo, Lester, Prior and Matho as the medi-sub, and assuming Lyons can get up for the game, we could have Robbo, Lyons, Prior, Matho and Lester in the VFL I guess.

 

[Elixuh]

You’d think Lester or prior for sub - Lester makes sense

 

[BRAB]

You’d think Lester or prior for sub - Lester makes sense

Imagine if Lester kicks the winning goal after the siren

 

[Hellobill]

gutted for matho and robbo, but can understand lt.

matho did a couple of huge hard ball gets and handballs out last week that commentators missed at vital points.

Robbo not even in emergencies, he is best sub option IMO

 

[Dalions]

I like that we're trying a different approach. All you can ask for really

We have all been calling for change and now we get it at the most important time of the year.
Ballsy by Fages.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

More emphasis on speed - I'm a big fan

Probably one of the best teams we've fielded all year

 

[golions]

Fort for Oscar
Ah Chee (sub last week) for Prior
Rayner for Matho

This leads me to think the rumour of Answerth on wing for Prior could happen

Is Answerth quick? does he have the endurance to play on the wing?

 

[thedigger]

Motho is to slow and is a bit of a spray painter.
Last week Gardner coughed up the ball which resulted in goal

 

[Toffee Lion]

If we want to play our brand of footy, that’s the side you pick.

Robbo is cooked, hasn’t offered anything for a while and Matho is the epitome of too good for VFL but not good enough to be best 14-16 at AFL level.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Is Answerth quick? does he have the endurance to play on the wing?

he's thereabouts in terms of speed, but I don't think he has the endurance to play wing for a whole game

 

[BangyBangy]

We have all been calling for change and now we get it at the most important time of the year.
Ballsy by Fages.

Meh, what choice did they have really? They were on a hiding to nothing.

If they went in with the usual suspects & lost in the same manner it would be stacks on in the media.

We're not that different to most other teams though. Have a look through the other teams' boards. Most coaches are reluctant to make changes.

 

[pulpdriver]

Is Answerth quick? does he have the endurance to play on the wing?

He's definitely quick. He won't play a whole game on the wing even if he spends time there.

 

[Macca225]

Looking at the emergencies Prior looks to me like he'll be the sub.

Ah chee, Berry and Bailey on the wings with Rayner playing more through the middle. I also wouldn't mind seeing McCarthy get a few CBAs

 

[Hollow Knight]

Really like the team. Clear we are going for a different look vs Melb this time.

We provably can’t match their inside grunt so why try?

This team has more pressure and class.

Fages is evolving!
