Game Day Round 22, 2016 - Brisbane Lions vs Geelong

[Elixuh]

Gameday! Last home game for season 2016. Hopefully we see a competitive effort from the boys.

Hopefully the boys can clinch a win for both Merrett and Zorks (and the debutante Clayton). If not I just want to see a competitive effort where we at least challenge the Cats.

In saying that though I kind've hope we do get smashed just so the cats let their guard down and we give the Demons a real shot at making finals next week.

 

[Haso]

Once more into the breach.

 

[MacMum]

Not sure I'm game to watch, but....

...So many reasons I want the boys to give this game one helluva shot....Merrett, Zorks, Clayton, Us......and most of all, for Leppa.

 

[Bucking Beads]

A win would be special but realistically it is probably a pipe dream. I'd love for us to be really competitive in this one. Hopefully Sauce gets a chance to kick a snag in his last game too.

 

[Milux]

Hoping the clubs got some sauce masks made up.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

Walk-up should be fine, given the crowd numbers we've had recently.

What a day for footy!

Well, at least it's live on TV. Hopefully i last longer than the Liverpool game overnight when i had to bed in disgust when the reds went down 2-0. Insipid, i think the word is.

Prediction: Not sure I will be watching after half time BUT you never know!

 

[Milk Steak]

Hawkins to "find form" and kick 5/6,
Rich to start off on fire and finish with under 10 disposals in the last 3 quarters, Rockliff to get 33 possessions

 

[patfullfankezz]

It comes down to the first goal.

If they kick the first goal, they're doomed and we should break out the non-alcoholic celebratory drinks. If we kick the first goal, then it becomes the usual "Let the little sods tire themselves out" before they steamroll us.

 

[Crawb]

Geelong not too far off Adelaide's percentage - but need decent wins over the last two games. Potential extra home final at stake. They'll be keen.

Just going along to pick up my Hyundai.

I'm catching public transport there so I don't have to worry about getting two cars home.

I've booked the Hyundai in at the Indooroopilly dealer for a service while I do a grocery shop later in the week.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I note that Geelong are at 1.03 for the win, in from 1.04 earlier in the week. When we played Adelaide they were 1.01 for the win. I have been pondering on this difference. Could it mean that Geelong supporters are three or four times more pessimistic than Adelaide supporters?

I think I know the reason for the discrepancy in the odds. Adelaide supporters are richer than Geelong supporters and so can 'invest' more money on a sure thing. None of my Brisbane friends still watch the games so I now invite opposition supports around to watch Brisbane.

We took it up to Sydney on a wet night match. Is it too much to hope for a similar game today.

Anything under ten goals is a plus and let's hope the younger brigade show some promise.

Go the LIons

That is strange coming from you. Willingly mixing with the common folk on public transport.

So of he catches the bus he's basically just chartered a whole bus for himself?! Typical

 

[Ceebee]

Don't give up boys.
Hope Robbo gives Dangerfield a touch up.
Have a good day to all you great people going to the game and supporting public transport.

Hopefully the sauce squad is there today
