Game Day Round 18, 2018 - Brisbane Lions vs. Adelaide

[ZoBlitz]

So how many of our players are still playing AFL from the last Lions team to win 4 games in a row? Five Lions players, only one of them is still playing for us.

Surely it can only be Richy.

So will the buzz continue with a fourth straight win or a legitimately honourable loss or will there be one of those losses-we-had-to-have today.

At least we don't have to wait until Sunday afternoon to find out!

Go Lions!

 

[jjami15]

Don't deny it, I'm not the only, what is this strange thing I'm feeling, bring it on! Come on Lions Oooosh!

 

[Gadzorks]

I reckon if we were playing the suns or another team where we would be favourites we would lose. But because the players know this is a major challenge they will have kept their excitement /emotions in check and we are a real chance. Lions by less than two goals.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Nervous AF. Would be so easy for us to drop the ball (literally) tonight.

Please let us win!

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Are we there yet

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Looks like a beautiful day.
Go Lions.
Big crowd

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Bought tickets last night x3. On the bandwagon

 

[ZoBlitz]

Richy it is. The others were Rocky, Redden, Riska and Leuy. Technically Hanley played that year too, but not in any of the four we won. Claye was also on our rookie list at the time.

 

[Dalions]

I reckon the crowd will be very vocal tonight.
The crowds have been damn good this year and with the last 3 weeks and the expectation growing I am hoping for a good turn out and hopefully the boys can get off to a good start to keep the crowd in it.
Luv the Lions, let’s hunt them Crows like we hunted Hawks last week!

 

[Nunez]

No guarantee we'll win and you'd have to think Adelaide will give this everything they've got given a chance at finals hangs in the balance. Would be unbelievably pleasing to end another finals push!

 

[Toffee Lion]

Hoping that 3 wins in a row gets people to the GABBA tonight, crowd can be a real factor and we'll need it tonight to win 4 in a row.

We can win. It's as simple as that from here on out, this team playing at its best can knock off the majority of teams in the comp and Adelaide at home (A still weakened Crows) is not an impossible task. First quarter will tell us everything, if we are in the game at quarter time, we know we have the fitness and legs to run away with games in the final quarter or keep in the contest.

Soo happy to be enjoying games again and knowing we'll put up a fight.

 

[Jubair]

Think the boys are gonna be pumped for tonight! Great opportunity to test ourselves against last year's runners up at our home deck.

 

[snooplions]

My main source of optimism is that if we've belted Freo and the Hawks away from home than surely we'll be even stronger at home. Little bit worried about how well Adelaide could potentially play though.

 

[Ceebee]

Hopefully the boys can handle all the hype from this week.
Would be fantastic to get another win ,will take a pretty concerted effort to do it .
Do your best boys.

 

[jackess]

I'm a bit worried about the first quarter. We've been let off the hook the last 2 weeks by bad kickinf. If we're 3 or 4 goals down we might drop our heads

I don't think I've seen the 2018 version of the Lions drop their heads all season, even when the Tigers demolished us we were just outclassed.

We need to bring the pressure from last week and have the confidence to execute our ball movement. If we drop off in 5% in each area we'll lose comfortably.

 

[Dalions]

I don't think I've seen the 2018 version of the Lions drop their heads all season, even when the Tigers demolished us we were just outclassed.

And even although we were outclassed we still kept trying to take the game on.

 

[Clarkythelion]

Such a great day, so excited. 4 hour round trip down from the farm to see the boys and double bonus today, the Reserves are also at the Gabba so well worth the trip. Two wins would be nice, it's always possible.

 

[Nunez]

Not feeling good about today's game. One of those games I get the feeling we won't be as hot as we should.

 

[Jpw22511]

How hot is it in Brisbane at the moment? Humidity might get the crows.
