MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 16

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

TAB have us at $1.55. This is pretty short.

I thought Brisbane would start fav, they are at $2.45.

Lay down a pineapple on the Lions and you'll be able to drown your sorrows after the match courtesy of TAB.

Brisbane are poo. The only people in the world who think we won't beat them are MFC supporters, that's why we're short priced favourites.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If we kick straight, we win.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,876]

If we kick straight, we win.

How about if we kick bananas but they go through for a goal?

Banana talk belongs in the "No T$ No B$" thread.

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

Im concerned about brisbanes speed, it will be a good battle of the inside mids but on the outside they have a clear advantage

Saying that our talls at either end of the ground are far better than theirs.

They are poo everywhere except their midfield.

And their midfield is stronger than ours. if we're going to win we're going to have to limit the influence of Beams, Hanley and Rockliff.

Viney to Beams, Vince to Hanley and Jones to Rockliff?

I see $2.45 as value. So yes, I have backed the Lions.

Brisbane were good for 3 quarters against a quality side last week.

MFC couldn't get over the line against a second rate - and depleted - Essendon side.

How we are $1.55 favorites is beyond me.

...and this year, they're poo. Like, really really crap.

I don't think you people understand.

I understand that it's natural to expect the worst as an MFC supporter. I know we might lose. I know we're not travelling well. Just don't get the surprise at us being favourites, they're the worst side in the competition, playing away.

I think that we 'people' saw them take it right up to Freo and, to a lesser extent, Sydney.

Essendon were in the same boat last week and we all know the result.

We are susceptible to strong midfields and small forwardlines which Brisbane definitely possess.

Not sure what you've been smoking, Nasher. But, fact is this past three weeks Bne have been rather good, against top opposition. Just haven't been able to sustain it for four quarters.

I certainly expect Melb to win. But, then again, I'm one of those sad people who expects Melb to win EVERY game...!

Happens every year. We drop easy games. A nobody steps up and annihilates us. Cloke kicks 7.0 Daniher kicks 5.0. We are mentally weak and pathetic as a footy team.

This is their only game for the year at the G. They'll be pumped.

I still have vivid memories of the Swans beating us at the G after losing 24 in a row. There is a cancer within this club that we can't eradicate.

As coach Id be watching those that don't give 4 qtrs and not playing them for the rest of the year and to be delisted at years end. Sick of it really.
