AFLW Round 10 v Brisbane, Saturday 4/11 @ Springfield 7.05pm

[Dory_77]

Game day, final round with top spot and maybe a home GF on the line! Adelaide will flog WC, surely, so need a win here to stay first.

The Lions have been patchy this year - losing to the Saints badly last week, plus Collingwood and Richmond at home. However they've done well against the other top sides - knocking off Adelaide and North in close games. As a GF rematch they'll surely come out hot and have some ins from last weeks loss (the Svarcs) which should boost them.

For us, Tay returns from her hammy issue. Jordi Ivey is in for her first game this year, and Rhi Watt comes in for Campbell.

I'm pretty confident in this team, but this will be a close game. Can't afford to be as inaccurate as last week. Need to take our chances and keep scoreboard pressure on them.

Lineups:



We'll also be running out in our Pride kit. A subtle change on the outside but rainbow on the inside. I like the message behind the jumper:

Our strongest team in a little while IMO.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Cmon. Surely we don't get robbed of another interstate GF this season!? We deserve to finish top and we should. Will be disappointed if we lose this one tbh. It's in their hands. Let's get it done!

 

[Mini GF]

Hey There
Please beat Brisbane.
It would be pure Gold for the Gold Coast to finish top 4 AND finish in front of Brisbane.

 

[Headless]

Paxman out again.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Haven't had many good looks up forward yet

 

[Headless]

Not a good start.

 

[jhong]

Lions winning the midfield battle so far

 

[jhong]

Needed that .

 

[PerfectFooty]

Not an ideal start but i think they've come out hard and want to obviously make a statement after last year. I think they will fatigue and we can run over them if we don't succumb to the conditions

 

[PerfectFooty]

Also good signs from Harris building back to some form prior to finals

 

[PerfectFooty]

Was it not holding the ball at our goals?

Umpiring has been gross so far

 

[jhong]

Lions handballs look crisp , ours look hit or miss

 

[jhong]

How does Sam lane get a gig ? She asked the most banal questions. Good match .

 

[PerfectFooty]

I'd love these kids play wrestling near the effects mic to chill, thanks

 

[PerfectFooty]

Heath just let her opponent go way to easily there

 

[PerfectFooty]

This is heartbreaking

 

[jhong]

Dangerous tackle my arse . Game getting away from us . 2 off with concussion. Think it will take a massive effort to get up from here I’m afraid.

 

[Headless]

Disappointing so far.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Disastrous 3rd quarter. Just not at the races tonight.

 

[Dory_77]

Have only watched intermittently on my phone, but not a great showing. Lions are playing harder and more desperate than we are. Disappointing performance from us.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Maeve back is a plus, she looked very upset when she came off

 

[PerfectFooty]

Ah yes, free kick Brisbane when certain goal

 

[Headless]

Eurgh.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Nevermind, dumb by Bannan. I say this with her being my favourite... needs to do a bit more in these big games
