Game Day Round 6, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

[ZoBlitz]

I have a fear of speed bumps.

I am getting over it slowly.

 

[harvester]

Go lions!!!!

 

[Nunez]

Can't wait for the Daicos boys to bow down to the Ashcroft triplets. Nobody stops Will, Levi and Jaspa.

will be desperately begging his defenders at 3/4 time to ‘carpe diem’, because by that stage Sam would have kicked 5 goals.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[Dalions]

Whether we were 0-5 or 5-0 this is a big game, always a big game.
Lions to ease off to win by 28 after having a 42 point lead.

Go Lions

Morning all, I'm in Brisbane for a holiday with my family (2 adults, 2 kids). Any reasonable avenues or options to maybe get tickets for tonight that won't run me a second mortgage?

I realise I have a snowball's chance in hell given we have the reigning premiership at home to the pies, but just thought I'd ask. Would be nice to watch a live game where both teams can actually play football.

Thanks and good luck tonight.

 

[Viceregal]

Looking forward to some nice balanced coverage of the game and Mr Laptop doing a robust practical and statistical analysis of the playing styles and effectiveness in game of Misters William and Nicholas (and maybe their combinations with their siblings).

Or maybe I will just follow the game day thread here instead since I prefer not to set myself up for disappointment...

GO LIONS!!!!!!!

Don't know what a carpe diem is, but I'm picturing big gold fish blowing up and gasping for breath.
I'll look it up.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

like everyone else super excited for tonight, looking forward to seeing young Marshall debut, hoping Oscar lifts as Cameron is one of the top tier rucks these days, and hoping for a 4 quarter performance from our boys.

Go Lions

Sold out I believe...this one usually is.


I'm a nervous wreck for any game but the butterflies are setting in already and the game hasn't even started!

...and I'm so hoping our brothers smash those Pie brothers. Upstarts who need brought down a peg or two (theirs not ours)

....give them hell WAsh and LAsh, they're on your turf now so show them who's boss.

Go get 'em boys!!

The triplets? You don’t rate the other Ashcroft kids?

Will
Levi
Jaspa
Darcy
Sam
Logan

I am exactly the same. I was hoping after winning last year the anxiety would ease off.
Lasted until about half way through Swans game.

Coming from 5-6 goals down most games is not great for the old ticker.

massive debut from Marshall

 

[mpal6]

Please win, win well and no injuries.

And Marshall to have a terrific debut game. Good luck mate.

Pumped for this one. Thursday night footy!!!!!!

Imagine being reigning premiers, yet still having the best young talent in the league. No wait…

I think we lucked out on the father son front big time. It's not often a team in their prime can load up with top 5 picks in a 3 draft window while playing finals, prelims, winning premiership.

We just have to thank our lucky stars that Marcus got kicked out of Suns and as a by-product we didn't lose these boys to GC academy.

 

[Section 5]

We have lost the last 3 to the Pies but won 2 of the last 3 Easter clashes.
I think the boys get the job done tonight.

Need Charlie to have his accuracy (confidence) mindset turned on today.
Bailey has had a good start to the year and ability wise could still go up a few notches.
Rayner's improved last two games should have him ready for this game.

Lions by 19 plus at home.

Sam Marshall.. I'm not familiar with him, what position on the field does he preferably play? Also what are his strengths? Cheers!! Go lions!

Where? Wing
Strengths? Running and a decent ball user.

So jasper is staying at half back. Love that.

 

[Dalions]

So jasper is staying at half back. Love that.

I would think so

 

[Dalions]

I think DeGoey will predominantly be forward tonight.
Who do we have to run with him?
Starce would have been a pretty good match up but still out.
Does Froggy get the job?

Look up Dead Poets Society Carpe Diem (Dead Poets Society is a Robin Williams movie once considered a useful source of pop culture references but since is came out in 1989 ...)
