[Dalions]

Sorry ZoBlitz

Lets get this thing crappening.

Go Lions big win and good hard at it Finals Prep.

48pt Win (No injuries)

Yippppiiieeeeee.......Even tho our history of playing Carlton before the bye is woeful ......we will embarrass the blue scum by 39pts.

 

[Gadzorks]

This is the last of the low stress games - lol. That still means riding an emotional wave and getting ridiculously tied in knots, but it’s going to go up 100 fold for the finals.

Lions by ten goals.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Must overcome the Simpson effect.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions. Should win this...

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

A win, no injuries, Stef to get in form.

Anyone got any news on Andrews?

Injury report from yesterday says 3-4 weeks, I'm tipping he might surprise and be OK for the Qualifying Final v Geelong/Richmond.

 

[BangyBangy]

If the Blues are invested today then Lions by 5 goals. If they've checked out already 10+ goals.

Hipwood to kick 5 & be best on.

I would prefer McStay to kick 5 but not to be best on. That for Stef

It seems in these "Scratch Matches" a team could consist of players from multiple teams. As of next week or even today there will be less teams in Qld to play scratchies against.

Always interesting playing the Blues as it feels they are trying to follow our path.
There always seems to be something that happens to the Blues that helps them get up for our game: Last year was a new coach and now Simpson retiring.

Also, not sure why plenty would thin Answerth can't keep his spot (in preview thread). He is our best lockdown small and there will be plenty of high quality small forwards that need locking down.

I'd still be happy for that. Actually, we probably want Neale to be best on. Just in case there is a late charge by Boak.

I think Starcevich isnt far behind defensively but much better offensively. Playing Payne and Andrews could free up Gardiner to play small. Rich is good defensively as long as they're not too quick.

Not sure about this one. Cripps would be pissed about being left out and Simpson retiring would give them a lot to play for. Fingers crossed on this one.

 

[M Malice]

I'm expecting a comfortable win and I want an injury free game, will need all hands on deck to beat the Tigers/Cats.

 

[Dalions]

Nah, Pendles or Adams will take the points off him.
And they also have Wines taking points off him lately.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

WOOHOO!!!

They'll make us earn it I reckon, as they should - but if we are switched on, we'll be too tough. Lions by 36.

Based on the list below that'll be playing Carlton, we are getting pretty close to our best 22. Berry will take over from CEY when he returns. When Harris comes back, we need to drop one of Payne/Lester/Birchall.

I don't like Birchall's chances of keeping up with nippy small forwards, I'd rather swap him with Harris and let Gardiner play small. Rich, Starce and Bailey to provide the drive from defensive half for us. Answerth would miss based on these updates as well.

 

[Mr Ripper]

No disrespect to Kade Simpson, but hoping his last games plays out similarly to that of Anthony Stevens.

 

[jackess]

Surely the best way honour the person who’s played in the most losses would be with another loss

I thought you must have been "managed" by the Big Footy Overlord.
