Preview Round 14, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. St. Kilda

[McIvor]

saints midfield biggest pile of poo ive seen in a while. steele and then a collection of genuine D graders. wont have the luxury of using sinclair in there with wanganeen-milera out either.

Happy to say that if we get the win but not before

I didn't expect any changes, pretty glad there aren't any. I think we've got a good mix at the moment.

Won't get the freedom to be as expansive as last week, hopefully we can control the middle. Should have the advantage there. Will be interesting to see how Neale will be protected. By now you'd reckon they'd have some sort of plan devised. Our tackling, hustle around the ball was so good last week, gotta keep that up. Sm fwds will have to work hard up n down and snipe more than a handful of goals. I'd like to see Morris get a few, Joe n Hippy will be closely attended for sure, maybe he can create some space for himself and those delivering the ball into the 50 see him.

If we can get an early jump on them, before their defense settles, get 4 goals infront. As the game gets dour, I think we can control things pretty well and hold on to that lead, maybe edge it out a bit each qtr. Otherwise it will just be a slog. Still I reckon a 24+ point win here.

Is Rayner starting centre some coaching tomfoolery or are we saying to Saints, you tag Neale, we’ll attempt to give Rayner another high clearance game?

wouldnt bother reading anything into the team sheet

pretty sure there was a period last year where we named andrews at full forward multiple times

I'm reasonably certain Rayner will never play M/F except for a few bursts. Because we think he's a burst player.

He went really well in the role he had last week with a solid 4 quarter performance. So that's how we'll continue to play him.

Ashcroft is tearing it up in match sims but we're going to be ultra careful in plotting his return ,most likely if it's clear we have a finals opportunity.

I’m always very respectful of our opposition. In fact no one is more respectful of our opposition than me. They say wow you’re so respectful.

Anyway, looking at the Saints lineup for tomorrow they have a trash tier team setup and we will win this by 10+ goals. If we break them it could be 20+. I mean Zac jones is getting a run.

Not happy unless it's 8+.

In my heart I think it could be more but we do have a habit of putting the cue in the rack.

 

[martinson]

Sad though the injuries we copped are I do think we have a better balanced lineup than when the season started (bar Kiddy )

Reville ,Lohmann and Morris all have something. What it turns out to be who knows but it's exciting to get some new players in where you can see plenty of upside.

 

[luthor]

On paper, this should be a comfortable win .

Provided we don't get sucked into Ross's ugly game plan.

We should play fast, play on at all times and try to deny them their flood and rebound style of play
