Game Day NAB Challenge Game 3 - Lions vs Gold Coast

[ZoBlitz]

Time for some football!

Oh it's NAB Challenge...

Woha, hey it's still football!

 

[Ironmonger]

We've had more of our first team fitter for longer than the Suns. If this is a dress rehearsal for round one and we're not going to be experimenting with anything new, then we probably should win this.

If we let Gold Coast ease away to a four goal or more win I'll be disappointed, but mostly we should be looking at how the structures are working, whether we can get space in our forwardline, whether we can clear the ball fluently from the backline, whether we can make it harder for GC to move the ball around the ground, etc...

Game day, yyeewwwww!!!! 5 goal win coming up.

Given my derisory views about the performance of the Saints last night, I'll be mightily embarrassed if we get spanked tonight. Think this will show if we have enough speed in the line-up.

 

[harvester]

anyone know if this will be broadcasted?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Fox yes, not sure about FTA

 

[jackess]

Us by 300.

Hopefully the conditions are ok and we'll see a decent quality game tonight.

And no injuries.

Not on Free to air

My order of preference for the outcomes of tonight's game.

1. No injuries
*daylight*
2. Continued improvement of skills
3. Improved group cohesion
4. 40-50% game time into Christensen
5. Win or < 20 point loss

I'm just glad that at the end of this game, there'll be nothing standing between us and the actual season.

Well written, thanks for sharing

The Banfield gif made me sad.

And no injuries.

Given the weather up here today (hot and muggy) I dare say it'll be as slippery as hell. It won't stop some bitching about our skill levels though...

I'm just glad that after this we will only be about a week away from GingerGreatness 's game 1 preview.

I know that football has come round again when we get that

Staker needs to do something in this game. I know he has been injured but he has to show some improvement as the season is getting very close now. Even 1 goal would be helpful.

 

[lionshine]

Just to confirm, the game starts at 7:40pm Queensland time?

Soz PK. Here's a picture of Rocky taking on two Tigers.

Like the game against Sydney in Coffs, it won't stop the commentators from announcing 'perfect conditions for footy'

 

[a mayes ing]

I think we have actually been pretty healthy with our injury run so far. The only big one is Hanley but apart from that. Freeman and Harwood were fringe.

Is that Polkinghorne in the photo?

What the hell is wrong with you?!!

Yep, been hell on earth and we now have a glorified scratch match that will test my resolve when I read the utter despair or joy either way around here.
