Preview Round 23- Lions v Tigers. Sunday 25th August 2019 3.20pm MCG.

[Captain chaos]

im going to the game Sunday. I rarely go to other than Geelong games. Should be fantastic. I just can't go past their record at the G-I think it is 30 form the last 32...you gunna need a big gun to finish them off.

 

[Scubaveg]

I had a quick look at Terry Wallace's tips.

Since the bye he tipped us to lose to GWS (round 16), Port Adelaide (round 17), Hawthorn (round 19), and Geelong (round 22).

When the evidence doesn't support your opinion, you can change your opinion or you can double down

Double down Terry, the list builder.

Some commentators (imo) must have been ordered to run the Richmond V West Coast grand final narrative. I think it's based purely on the fact that Richmond & West Coast hype will get a heap more clicks than the Geelong V Lions narrative. It is certainly not based on the facts that R12 the Cats made mince meat out of the Tigers at the MCG or R1 the Lions spanked the Eagles or R6 The Cats gave the Eagles a bigger flogging than we did or there was only a point between the Cats & Lions or the Cats & Lions being 1 & 2.








Wanna see how Richmond get taken apart
I loved watching this.

New to Big Footy, been to most home games since the mid 90's. Take that as you will. Going to the MCG on the weekend to hopefully see a memorable win.

Disappointing that Christensen will miss. Has been better than good since he came back into the team. Keays or Mathieson to replace. Barring injury, no other changes so I am hoping the others are OK.

Go Lions!!

welcome, great to have you in here

Interestingly enough, the Hawks had a better record than that when we beat them in Tasmania...twice

Argh this is the biggest week of our lives, who else can't stop thinking of the match on Sunday?

I'm finding that making sock monkeys helps somewhat.

Go the Tigers preview. As expected most of their dopey supporters haven't watched a Lions game all year but are supremely confident that they will tear us apart. Imagine not having watched one game of the team on top of the ladder but expecting to win by 60 points!

C'wood might be missing the teeth but tiger fans missing the brain cells?

If you find something objectionable on another team's board, please leave it there. If you feel it needs a reply, reply to it on that board. There is no reason to bring it back here.

Really? They had tended to play weaker teams intassie and they are hardly a powerhouse.

Richmonds record includes finals and virtually every team in the afl has tried to beat them there, without success.

Not a like for like comparison.

if youre looking at that game as reference for the game this weekend you are in for a rude awakening lol

we were missing half our side coming up against a fully fit and rampaging geelong at their best form

I think most of us are expecting a different type of performance from Richmond, and very much looking forward to the contest.

I offered other references mate & I also offer as reference the fact you just got over the Eagles, who where whooped by both Brisbane & Geelong. The Lions & Cats "franked" their form in the thriller at the Gabba. That's a fair bit of evidence amongst the Top 4 sides champ. I'm tipping you'll be the one in for a rude awakening.



edit^ ps: I see Martin, Cotchin & Houli there lol

 

[CraigB]

Congratulations on your year so far, its been very impressive. I have watched a number of your games and think its going to be a very tight contest for the first half, Unfortunately for you, I think the bigger ground and facing the Tigers on that up will bring and be your downfall. That being said I would not be all that upset if we lost to the Lion's its a wonderful story and I hope you maintain the level for years to come. Tiges by 43

 

[wattoxi]

Hope we smash the Tigs, never seen such a cocky supporter base, you'd think they've won three flags in a row or something!

Yes that game was when we were at our collective lowest level with injuries...

Jake Aarts General soreness Test
David Astbury Hamstring 1 week
Brandon Ellis Groin 1 week
Luke English Shoulder 4-6 weeks
Kane Lambert Achilles 2-3 weeks
Oleg Markov Illness Test
Callum Moore Ankle 6-8 weeks
Toby Nankervis Adductor 4-6 weeks
Marlion Pickett Finger 8-10 weeks
Alex Rance Knee Season
Jack Riewoldt PCL 4-6 weeks
Jack Ross Ankle 4-6 weeks
Jayden Short Elbow 3-4 weeks ...too many good 'uns out that just disrupted our side and systems! Bad day for us at the Office no hiding from that!
Has taken a while but we are finally getting a full side soon...Rance, Kmac, Cotch, Nank all premiership players still out with Stack and Higgo!
Still was good enough to roll egurls! Looking forward to the contest! No injuries please!

Hawks won three flags in a row, Richmond are home and away specialists. I know which scalp I'd prefer.

Speaking of scalp, what's it like knowing your team is only making up numbers in the top four?

Edit: sorry thought this was in the banter thread, was only joking.

Um.... MCG 161 x 138 Gabba 156 x 138 Methinks 5m is not going to impact us at all. In fact, gives Charlie a bit more space. Lions by 37.

 

[Tairy Greene]

Who would have thought the supporters of the team of this very board that are sitting 1st on the ladder would have a bit of confidence going into this game. Yikes.

My word I'm up and about. If we happen to put in a bad one (we did play in the heat last game) we'll most likely still sit second. If you lose & Collingwood win you're out of the top 4 champ.
You're after a tip? Lions by 5 goals+ if it's dry, 7-10 goals if it's wet.

Forgetting whose board you're on? Not every side can be gifted with 8 MCG games in a row to finish off the season. Piss off back to your own circlejerk cocky board.

Will be amusing reading if we do manage to beat you down there. Clearly most of your supporters haven't seen us play this year and expecting a 10 goal win.
