I'm glad to see Blease back in, but disappointed that he's replacing Jones. Also good to see Bail's ready to go.

Could this be Neeld's round 14, 1998? Well, no, probably not.

We're going to get flogged :/

Beautiful day in Qld, ground will b ideal for football.

Not gr8 outs, opportunity for the lads to show us some more of what lies down the track I reckon.

Blease's pace would b handy at the bounce,in Jonesy's absence. GO THE DEE'S.

Not often that all the favourites get up across the whole round. That essentially leaves us and North.

Not sure why, but I have a good feeling we are going to pull off a massive upset with the outs we have.

Riewoldt rumored to be a late withdrawal for the Aints.....perhaps North will be the upset.

time to start drowning my sorrow now

hahah me too mate

pre-emptive drowning

Dennis: How did they beat the bombers?

Leigh: I think the bombers had a bad night

we really are the media darlings aren't we

This could get real ugly.

Glad I didn't fly up. Likely to lose my sh!t in front of the TV.

Leigh Matthews < a newt

Terrible outs.

You'd better do something today Moloney!

Why must this be on channel 7 and with Leigh Matthews commentating...

I have planned my whole weekend to be sitting down with a glass of red to watch this game. I will stay positive but just dont know how we are going to win the ball at stoppages, its such a shame as I thought the 2nd half of the year couldve given us some confidence for next season but with the first 3 players usually picked out I just hope it doesnt get ugly.

Might be nothing, but I didn't like the look of how different the rooms were before the game, Dees very "relaxed" and Lions look up and about...

Could be one of those signature slow starts, and one of those "didn't come to play" days.

Geez I hope I'm wrong...

95% of the commentary pre-game about Brisbane. lol

umps in good form

umps in good form

already started right

tappy is starting to get a rep and i like it

Nothing tougher than pushing a guy into the fence...

Slow, disinterested, soft.... That's been our effort so far

tanking

FFS our midfield is not even competing. So sad.

going to get ugly very early here i think

What are these guys being taught when one of the oppositions most dangerous players (Zorko) has no one within 30 metres of him at the bounce?! Pathetic
