Who thinks the Lions can make the top eight?

Well, I hope so!!! The Lions defintely
need to string a few together - something that they have not been able to do all season - and although our run home might seem pretty easy - saints, freo, port and crows - no game is token.
So: i defintely think the boys can make the eight.
Bad news about McRae though - his season is over with a stress fracture.
 
I think they will make the finals but only becuase they have some easy opponents at home. But they better start playing a decent brand of footy or they'll go out in the first week. Getting Clarke (hopefully) back will certainly help but he hasn't played for a while so he might be out of form.
The thing that annoys me is that they have such a strong team on paper (as the commentators keep saying) but they don't perform. If we 'clicked' together as a team (as we did last year) then we could be up there challenging essendon.

Oh well. This year is gone for us I reckon.
 
The Lions seem to lack a Plan B. Like when Plan A is not working, there seems to be a lack of discipline or game plan or something.

I saw them V Geelong and they had it under control so no need to alter. Against the Blues, they seemed to get mesmerised and start to follow. Then all of a sudden, they slotted goals from everywhere, then the Blues made a few changes and the Lions failed to come to grips with all that. Maybe the on field experience isn't there - marshalling the troops.

When Holland takes 18 marks , there's some big problems that ALL other teams have taken note of.

Maybe they played above themselves last year - all intense and passionate ( that doesn't last - see Tigers' history ) but now they've been sussed.

I must say that there's been some GREAT odds offered for the Lions' opponents recently - the Blues were actually at longer odds !!! - so , for the betting man, this team's form makes for excellent value. Win one, lose one, win one .....

The lions can and should make the 8, but who would know with them.

If they make the 8 they will probably be out in the first week anyway, unless they are lucky enough to get Geelong in an elimination final.
