Non Lions Discussion 2019

[Tom14]

If only Round 1 form could be maintained for the entire season, we'd be locks for top 4 based on the performances of some teams.

That's not the case though, regardless of how North have looked, they have our number down in Melbourne and it'll be big test for us.

They don't look flash hot though against a side many tipped to fall.

Their ball use is deplorable. I also wonder if Waite's retirement is really disrupting their forward line - it is basically just Ben Brown and Ziebell, and with Waite not there they aren't transitioning out of defence to attack very well.

I’m more worried about that Etihad turf than I am about North.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Polec will go in hard and turn it around for them

If Charlie gets injured again I say we send in the Dean Brothers to "fix it"

Their backline is looking horrible and very very short, forward line inept apart from Ben Brown, and you can trust Hall and Polec to seagull it up and refuse to run defensively.

Feeling pretty confident though our poor record playing at etihad against norf is still a concern.

Maybe we'll have a better record at Marvel then we did at Etihad

Hipwood needs to expose their backline. He’s quick enough. Can’t see him scoring less than five goals.

 

[Dalions]

We have a much different midfield this year as opposed to last.
And it was in the midfield where we got crushed in the first half last year.
We are much better equipped for an onslaught of our own!
The turf is a concern.

 

[Gadzorks]

Ouch - what??? norths??? Wasn't expecting this

 

[a mayes ing]

The only thing l am concerned with how Freo are thrashing NM is if they try and come out breathing fire next week. Maybe we should send in an inquiry about the surface and hope we play somewhere else.

 

[Toffee Lion]

North gonna be fired up next weekend. If we come out early and put scoreboard pressure on, they'll get in their own heads and fold.

Where would we play.. MCG is being used by Hawks and Dogs.

Given the afl are being sued for turf related injuries they'd have to be very careful about playing on a sub par surface. The game is televised here in qld but if it's not free to air nationwide could they change the time of the game so it can slot onto the mcg sometime over the weekend?

Princes Park

Dumb hit off the ball by Cunnington. Don't know that there was much in it but we might get lucky and have him get a week for it.

 

[TheZork]

Cunnington might have just got himself a week.

 

[marooned]

Cunnington could get a week for that off the ball gut punch.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Cunnington might have just got himself a week.

Time for the AFL to put their money where their mouth is on cracking down on cheap shots off the ball.

 

[marooned]

Beaten by two

 

[Tom14]

Mitch Cleary agrees:



He always kills us so would be so great if his stupidity got him ruled out.

 

[RWFFFPT]

Good job Cunnington. Rub yourself out for next week

Now how did the dockers pull this off? Was that an upset? A little embarrassed I changed my tip from Freo to Nth on Friday now. 3/9 for me. Yay.

What the hell is going on with ACL's this week. North youngster looks to have done one now

 

[Keays2myBeamas]

Down to third on the ladder now. Going to have to win next week to make sure we get back in the all important top 2 with finals just around the corner.

Always more common early in the season, but agree it's a shockingly bad week for them.
