Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Adelaide & Changes for Brisbane

[Charlie Pannam]

Speaking of Lambo, just on the news getting scans

Looked proppy

Lambert been playing with hip soreness for months. Testimony to his ability to play through the pain that he can still be a valuable contributor.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Should we tank to further reduce the stack. Ccj suspension?

 

[Cotcho]

Not going to lie, was hoping we would give Brisbane a miss this year. Yes we’ve beaten them the last 15 times we’ve played them, but all that means is that they’re well and truly due for a win against us.

The casino would love you Joelsy Thats the gamblers fallacy right there. Haha We will be alright

 

[Karp3_dm]

Richmond versus the World begins.

Media will be trying to fire up every team we play in the week leading up to our finals.

Hope the bookies are influenced by the media hype

more for me!

Nice theory david king

 

[Burning bright]

Brisbane will know that they will have to face us twice in the finals series if they make the GF and deep down through all that scar tissue they know they have no chance against our side.

Cameron will get hit early and will be intently listening for Grimes and Vlastuin's footsteps for the rest of the night
Robinson will do a few brave acts but won't have many mates
Neale will not be tagged gather 38 possessions with a potential of three of those actually being damaging

And as the Brisbane forward line saunters back into position at the opening bounce they will be facing Astbury, Grimes, Vlastuin, Houli, Baker and a rogues gallery rotating through our D50

they will not even have to look into the centre to see Cotch Dusty Prestia Bolton and the Tank to know they are out of their league.

I think the post before yours serves as a fine preview!

 

[db26]

I'm spewing we're going to hear Fagans crap and spin again we kicked badly we led the stats etc etc.There a cocky bunch the lions.

I say were playing alot better footy since we met last time and alot of players have come into our side and even lions to.Martin is there ruck I think Nank has did well in past against him not sure there other ruck.

 

[SavDog23]

Tom Riewoldt will kick 10 between them and Dusty will kick 10 himself

 

[TigerMoz1973]

AAA Ep16: Flag smokey blows Lloydy away, did Cats find a Tigers trump card?

With the finals about to begin, Matthew Lloyd and Damian Barrett discuss all of the biggest talking points

www.afl.com.au

Apparently the cats have found a trump card (against the Tiges) by playing Danger forward and taking Grimes out of the game. How does every conversation lead to us? Danger played forward against a bottom 4 team and kicked a couple of goals in the last. All of a sudden, they've unlocked how to beat us. Ridiculous.

Delicious. If that's the best they've got then it will be a shoe in

Richmond versus the World begins.

Media will be trying to fire up every team we play in the week leading up to our finals.

And our boys will feed off it and use it right against them. Delicious

Hi everyone it’s great to be back after a stressful four months of cleaning up all the criminal activity that was going on our family farm. I won’t delve into that any further as my close friends on here know the going’s on.

I finally got TV connected on the Eagles game and unfortunately halfway through the second quarter we had a power blackout due to an almighty Benny Gale. The old farmhouse Uncle George built didn’t move a mm.
Back onto the footy though it’s been refreshing that we haven’t gone backwards at all this year and I can confidently say with the rise of Bolton Balta Aarts Soldo and the potential in Ross and others who’ve come in to play roles whilst our stars have been sidelined our future is brighter than ever.
I can’t see any team getting near us as watching all our competitors playing it’s like watching footy back in the 70’s and that being they’re in slow motion in comparison to us.
The return of Edwards was a positive one and he looked like he hadn’t missed a beat. Graham has been outstanding this year with his endurance and physical work on and off the ball. Bolton say no more except he could be bigger than Maurice Rioli with his elite footwork and hands. Just growing in stature and poise by each game.
Great to have Astbury back as well as Grimes can now have the taller support around him whilst he continues to play either on talls or shorter opponents , so this frees him up. Lynch also to come back makes us look more menacing and how commentators continually talk up Brisbane as a threat is beyond me.
Port is the unknown quantity, but I still think they’re two rungs below us and the Eagles now fifth makes our task easier. Geelong were supposed to be better against us with Pawkins, but we annihilated them and had we kicked straighter they would have been further embarrassed.
Great to be back folks although I have still plenty of work here bringing back our farm to its former glory.
Happy times at Tigerland as we grow by constantly bringing in and developing youth into our team whilst Geelong and Hawthorn continue to bring in tried and tired players hoping to improve.

nice to have you back … hope all is well

Welcome back you old pr!k

The casino would love you Joelsy Thats the gamblers fallacy right there. Haha We will be alright

That’s why I don’t gamble.

I’m not very good at it.

 

[RichoRocks2006]

Lynch for Chol, Bolton for Pickett, Prestia for Ross. Will be the best team we have had on the park all year. Balta to back up the ruck fwiw

 

[smasha]

Lol,look at the photo the AFL website has produced.

Who plays who in week one of the finals?

The eight teams in the 2020 Toyota AFL Finals Series are locked in. Who faces off in week one?

www.afl.com.au

They want the Lions to win something chronic.

I’ll write one NaturalDisaster. Here is a draft I have been working on.

2020 Qualifying Final - Brisbane v Richmond THIS IS A GRUDGE MATCH!

Richmond still carries deep mental scars from the 1944 Grand Final. That loss to Fitzroy by 15 points has haunted the club for 76 years and thrown a pall over every one of their subsequent achievements. These scars were made fresh in 1970 when Fitzroy humbled Richmond at the MCG in front of HRH Queen Elizabeth II and her family. Since then, there was a concerted effort on the part of Richmond to destroy Fitzroy Football Club and now the Brisbane Lions. Their evil plan first began to bear fruit at the end of the 1981 Season, when they stole Noel Mugavin from Fitzroy in an attempt to weaken our club, but they failed because while Noel Mugavin had great hair and was comedic in his approach to ball handling, he wasn't one of our elite players. This theft of players continued, however, into the 1990's when Richmond stole Paul Broderick, Michael Gale, Jamie Elliott and Matthew Dundas at the end of the 1993 season. In a further attempt to bring down our club, they gave us Jeff Hogg, who committed numerous acts of sabotage in our forward line. The loss of Alastair Lynch at the end of 1993 and Paul Roos for the 1995 season effectively broke the hearts of Fitzroy supporters, but at Richmond they were filled with glee. After Richmond defeated Fitzroy in 1996 in their last ever game at the MCG by 151 points there was a quiet celebration at Punt Road, as a shadowy group of club officials and bag men celebrated the demise of Fitzroy in a "Mission Accomplished" moment.

Then this happened:




Richmond thought that they had killed Fitzroy, but they had only made us stronger because we had merged our traditions and powers with those of the Brisbane Bears and formed a new club that would dominate the AFL from 2001 - 2004, bringing home 3 Premierships, while Richmond crashed out of finals contention, finishing 14th, 13th and winning the wooden spoon in 2004. THE MENTAL SCARS WERE BACK!

Richmond, driven by a desire for revenge and an army of supporters who only have marginally more teeth per head than the average figures at Collingwood and Port Adelaide, have redoubled their efforts to destroy the Lions and since 2009 they have had us on the ropes. This is all about to change, however, in the 2020 Qualifying Final, when Brisbane plays Richmond in a game that will be remembered in the same way that Mohammed Ali's victory over George Foreman was at Kinshasa in 1974. THIS FINAL WILL BE OUR VERY OWN "RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE" AS THE LIONS DEFEAT THE TIGERS AND START OUR PREMIERSHIP DRIVE THAT WILL ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT IN 2020, "WE ARE THE GREATEST!"

I could quote a whole bunch of stats at this point, but what’s the use? To speak plainly, Richmond are very good at getting the ball and they use it well, particularly when transitioning out of defence. Brisbane will be able to counter this though because we are such an amazing tackling side and the enemy to clean disposal is intense pressure and Brisbane will bring that. Lester, Starcevich, Lyons, Neale, McInerney, Berry, Robinson, McCarthy, Zorko, Bailey, Ah Chee, Rayner, Gardiner and Cameron are all TACKLING MACHINES and Richmond will buckle under the pressure. This willingness to tackle and pressure is our trump card inside 50 and our strength in this area is Richmond's greatest weakness

Then we have our midfield, which is ELITE. Just say the names out loud. “BROWNLOW” NEALE, LYONS, ZORKO, BERRY! We are going to beat Richmond because we are going to get first hands on the ball out of the middle and we are going to HIT THE SCOREBOARD! I'm expecting Cameron to have a massive game, but look out for Cam Rayner, because he is "locked and loaded.” Eric Hipwood is BACK IN TOWN and our midfield has started to contribute goals again. We are looking potent! In defence, we have Richmond covered, Andrews is ALL AUSTRALIAN and Gardiner and Brichall are working well. Starcevich and Lester have looked fit and hungry all season and they are the FIRE AND ICE of our defensive unit. THEN THERE IS DANIEL RICH A PLAYER WHO JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER! On the wings we have Robinson, who is the spiritual leader, the heart and soul of our club and McCluggage and or Bailey and or Ah Chee. They will rip Richmond to shreds.

Finally, Martin and McInerney are set to ravage a depleted Richmond ruck division. Oscar will also go forward and no doubt kick a bag.

Chris Fagan says that SQUADS WIN PREMIERSHIPS and I think he is right. This game will be a test, but we have the players to win it.

Brisbane are so confident of victory that they will select Daniel McStay for comedy value and effectively go in a man down.

The Prediction

BRISBANE LIONS BY 27 Points

THIS IS OUR STALINGRAD AND WE ARE THE RUSSIANS! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP RICHMOND, WE’VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED!

[Joey longshadow]

this is the the secret to all premierships at all levers, i truly believe....no use having 14 guns if your last 3 or 4 picked are crabs.

Nothing truer... It's nearly always your bottom six players that make the difference in finals
