Game Day Round 16, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

[ZoBlitz]

Another "unnatural" game day.

Going to back in Payne to keep a lid on King. Richmond wasn't the best side for him to debut against.

Pineapple Grapple Day baby. Woo woo. The greatest local derby in the AFL. Always such a classic showdown of two teams battling over the bridge and across the highway. QClash. Get it in yah. The whole bloody state is on the line. We need to crush these pretenders. Im gonna smash a few XXXXs then head off to the operating theatre. Cant wait to get that final appendix out before driving down to the Gabba. QUEEEEEEEENSSSLAAAAAANDAAAAAAH. Up the maroons (and hence the Lions as we actually wear maroon like a proper QLD team you northern NSW flogs).

AFL media still harping on about our defence, good on Fages yesterday to put everyone in their place.

Go Lions, smash those pineapples.

I'd say a fair portion of them think Payne is somebody who starred in a movie with the Rock.

Should be a great game. Hoping we get out to a comfortable lead and maintain it for the game conserving energy.

Not just the media doing that & not just harping on defence either. Loved Fagan's words but they will once again fall on deaf ears.

Was hoping for both teams to be going in at full strength and in form but I'm not expecting the greatest game. Probably similar to the last few weeks.

I dare Stewy Dew not to take Neale.

Dunno about that but he is bigger than Thor.

Harris doing his bit - boosting morale from sidelines

Nah, he starred in his own movie.

Spoiler

Yet another Lions blackface incident.

Quality hyphenation there too from the club.

The best news!

Time for Charlie to get back on the bike and kick multiple goals. Need 2+ from him tonight. Think Oscar playing forward tonight will cause the Suns some headaches.

Wouldn't mind seeing Rayner play a few extra mins in the middle tonight and gets Zorko forward. Not going into tonight expecting us to win big, right now with Harris out and such a crazy season with short turn arounds any win will do and keeps us in top 2.

Need a big win. Must kick more than 6 or 7 goals.

I thought in the Richmond game Payne didn't get his best chance, for the first Qtr and maybe some of the second Andrews was dropping off Lynch to protect Payne and going over the pack which was about leadership and helping the young bloke out but it let Lynch drift off the back. Now Payne has it on his own, a good chance and a couple of games to show what he has. I hope everyone remembers his first practice match for us after being drafted, against the Swans out at Burpengary where he towled up Buddy Franklin, (i'm pretty sure it was his first) The kid can play, looking forward to the next couple of games with him, we need the extra big body even when Harris is back.

The team list usually doesn't mean a lot for positions during the game. That being said, it has Bailey moved to half-back to fit in McCarthy.

 

[Sausages]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!

Yep, Lions to win tonight, and win well - and, for a week at least, consign musings about our imminent demise in the finals to the back room.

Love how Fages pointed out that we won 5 out of 6 matches when Harris was out of the side in the past.

 

[morsie]

Game day already?Sheesh this season is hard enough for the fans let alone the players.

 

[MacMum]

Anyone know if we are doing a joint chair off for Pearce Hanley tonight?

I just think it would be a nice gesture from both clubs seeing as he is retiring......and was well liked.

Game day on a Wednesday coinciding with $34 mini kegs of Paulaner (my favourite german beer) going on sale at Aldi.

That's fate my friends.
