Young Rhan Hooper should be coming along nicely by this stage.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions.

 

[MacMum]

Excitement and dread rolled into one.....how is that possible?

...oh yeah, I'm a Lions supporter

Hooper? Pffft. Roe can kick goals from outside 50.

 

[Dalions]

I think I am bouncing off similar enthusiasm as the boys this week. Schache re-signing, others close, coming off the bye.
I am feeling pretty good about this one, and i will stick with my original prediction of a 36 point win to the Lions.
Cant wait for first bounce.

 

[CarterS]

Genuine chance for a win here. Hope the crowd is OK.

Note to all: don't start thinking we are a chance and then get disappointed.




Reverse psychology is a good thing

Too late.

Looking forward to our second win of the year and then to come home and watch the replay over a few refreshing celebratory cold ones. I need this Lions! I need some joy!

I expect nothing less than a hard fought 4 quarter effort. We have to be competitive in this one. Freo are likely to drop into the bottom 6 by years end.

 

[Milux]

Dont worry everyone. Im no longer heading in*.

















*which may have no bearing on the actual outcome.

 

[BuntonRules]

KI would be a lot happier if we had Freo's first pick. Jeez I reckon Josh's signature will lift the boys. Go Lions.

 

[CarterS]

This time last week we were $4.60 to win the game, now we are $2.30. Money has come for us.

I remember the last time Fremantle were out of form and they came to the Gabba and smashed us by nearly 100 points. Go Lions.

One of the most disappointing games I've ever been to. Just when I thought we turned the corner... they served up that.

I think today's game is a complete lottery. Both teams have a good and bad version meaning depending on who shows up it could be anything from a very close contest to either team having a big win.
Hopefully we haven't gone in one tall short with only Andrews/Gardner down back and Hipwood/McStay up forward.

Also Archie & Stef resting forward (holds head in in his hands) Lions by 1 point

 

[Eons]

Need to get off to a good start and stop their run on the outside. If we can do that it will be a close game.

 

[Elixuh]

Need to limit our turnovers if we are to have a chance. We will get peppered from turnovers otherwise.

 

[Crawb]

Was dreading this until Thursday. But the Schache news has completely turned the vibe around. Reckon we can even pull of a sneaky victory now - won't get a better chance until Round 18 at least so hopefully we make the most of today.

 

[Simba Moyo]

We can win this. Go Lions!

 

[CarterS]

Looks like the rains are here.

Rain and Freo... could be a small, small crowd.

I jumped on at $4.80 with Sportsbet last week.
Think you guys are a genuine chance. Your weaknesses (KPP) shouldn't really be exposed by Fremantle.
Shutting down Hill & Walters is the key, if you allow them to rack up uncontested possessions they will cut you up (watched it first hand vs richmond)

Go lions! Love watching Zorko and Mccluggage is going to be a star.

I have undertaken an in depth analysis of all relevant factors and I am sure we will win today. Here's my thinking. It's the Queen's Birthday long weekend here in Victoria and the game against Fremantle is being played in QUEENSland. Also, I am currently sitting in a camping chair at Point Leo, where I have taken up residence for a few days. Now we all know that Leo was a LION, ergo Brisbane Lions to win by a POINT in Queensland today. Try using logic to prove me wrong, IF YOU DARE!
