Foot-ball.

Hence the battle cry of the masses, "Just kick it!!!"

 

[vic_LION]

Go Lions!!!!

 

[SizeMatters]

Wonder how many times last years grand finalists lost first two games of the next season?

We should win this. But after last weeks bed shitting who knows.

I have some trepidation about today's game, Dockers will come out all fired up for their first game.

If we were stung to the core by last weeks stunning collapse we should dispose of the Dockers comfortably, wouldn't it be fantastic to see a 4 quarter high octane display.

 

[Viceregal]

Such a wonderful opportunity waiting until the last game of the round with such confidence in what we are going to bring to the table...

Went and had a stroll around Optus last night so we knew where we were going today.

Not the best of photos but it certainly is an impressive stadium.

I just can't help but think we are going to take a few weeks to get going this season with all the disruption and we'll go down today.

The surrounds are beautiful. Stayed at Crown Towers last year and went to a non-Lions game. The Camfield is a large hotel outside the ground worth checking out on a beautiful day before the game.

That’s what I think to.

 

[Nunez]

Gotta find a way to win. Don't care if it's by one goal or ten. Bank the points and move on.

Could do, we have to remember we had an incredibly short off season, which is normal for a Grand Finalist but then you throw in the early start to the season on top of that, IIRC we only got in 2-3 weeks of training before the Christmas break.

Collingwood certainly look underdone.

40-60% of the Carlton game we looked fantastic, especially in that first quarter. Arguably the best footy I've seen a team play. Regardless of that 3rd quarter I think we'll be alright. The fact that we've already played a proper game this season and Freo haven't should be a significant advantage for us. For us it's going to come down to mindset.

Boys will be trying to prove a point.

Which can be fine or can lead to players trying to win the game themselves (sound better than being selfish right? )

I have fear.

We had a look there for dinner but apparently it was too loud there, for Mum!
So we ended up walking around for ages to find somewhere.
So Mum is very sore today
But she is a trooper so will battle through

550 Sunday game, prime time baby

AFL trying to hide Justin Snoremuirs boring gameplan from view of the public

 

[SpecialBruce]

Very important match today. If we lose then the Collingwood match will be season defining for both teams as there would be a good chance Collingwood enter it winless too

 

[Section 5]

We should get the points this week without Neale.
The Dockers had a few good away wins against the Swans & Demons.
Home wins against sold team in Geelong ?. Also beat them at GMBHA.
But a home loss to North in R 2.
Beat WCE twice at home & also Hawks at home in R 8.
Their best win at home was either the Cats or Bombers.
Sub-par season with mediocre results.

However, this is their round 1.
It is a new season with ambitions so it will be hard early for the Lions.
We need to hang in their early and get the upper hand as the game goes on.

The rifle club option would have been interesting
