Game Day Round 2 v Lions, Friday 24 March, 7:50 pm @ The Gabba

[Scythe94]

Two big streaks on the line tonight:

• Going for 48 consecutive rounds in the top-four
• Going for our 13th consecutive interstate victory (last loss was QB at the SCG in '21)

With a strong side in (Pickett and arguably Salem the only ones missing), it should be a good test of where we're at.

Can’t wait.

Not a good test at all.

Lions are overrated af, dees by 30+.

You’re a good test.

Predicted top-four team on their home deck? I don't rate them either, but the last time we played them, they ended our season. I'd say it's definitely a good test for how our new game style (granted, they're not wholesale changes) stacks up.

Better test than Lord Farquaad's Bravedogs at least

The Melbourne Football Club.

I meant its not a good test because they are inconsistent flat track bullies for the most part. A good test comes against consistently good teams. Sydney next week will be a good test. Considering they have owned us at the G for years.

Going to be rather disappointed if Melbourne lose this, Lions are going to have to play some stellar footy to win this BUT that would be a huge form reversal and play style reversal I feel.

10 goal loss coming up…
This is our Tigers 2016 season, Demons 2019 season
The season they had to have before winning the Grand Final, albeit the Demons had to wait two years

Fair bit of strife when Joyce is getting a game 2nd game in when delisted by saints . Could get ugly if we can’t stop their midfield .

Zero expectations going in. Don't think we've ever been this low since 2019.

If we end up doing well this season, I expect this season to be similar to 2021, where we don't get a win until round 5 (North).

Hope we win, just don't see it happening today without a massive attitude adjustment.

Shouldn't bottom out. We need to do a Geelong and stay up as long as possible even if we don't win a premiership. There is too much disruption on the horizon for the club. We need to keep the fans and casuals engaged and in Brisbane you do that by winning.

I miss being at least a lil bit confident going into games...

Poor old Brions, they've went from being a monty for the flag to discussing bottoming out in the space of one week

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Dees -3.5 , Hunter 15+, Ashcroft 15+

 

[MarcMaverick]

I've been very nervous about this game, either that, or my left collarbone hurts like hell. Had a tough night sleep either way, had nightmares about them winning.

 

[mrmonkey]

Goals?

Has to be atleast 31.1 goals.

Actually needs to be 32 goals

Not a test, we flogged them when we were going crap twice. They're easy to play against and they make anyone's ball movement look good. Winning doesn't prove anything, losing shows we suck.

Well then, I guess it's a good test of whether we suck

Do you think we'll be MCVEELIGHTED this evening, Gander?

For sure.

Is this a question about whether he plays? Hell knows

I was wondering what happened to this. Usually its the first post after the OP.

 

[jhong]

May possibly a late out doing the media rounds . Yze says he’s selected to play ( so far) .

 

[Imet Hassa]

Really think May is unlikely. Can see it being just Fritta and Jack in.
Lovely night up here. Anticipating an intense start with it being decided when things settle in the third. I would not be writing Brisbane off too easily, they have some very, very good players.
Go Dees!

Great that you are there tonight Imet. Eat a horrible pie and some lukewarm chips for me and don’t shy away from some irrational shouting. That’s the way I generally play it
