I was nervous as hell before bombers game, just had that feeling we would lose (put $20 on bombers to win it eased the pain a little), today I am as confident as I have ever been that we will win

Now I'm nervous.

They have 5 players that could hurt us - Hanley, Stef Martin, Rich, Robinson and Christensen.  Their team is atrocious.

After those 5 their next best players are probably Lewis Taylor and Daniel Merrett.   Taylor is a spud who only gets talked up cos he won the Rising Star award, and Merrett will have his hands full with Hogan and carrying the rest of the Lions backline.

What was that Phil Collins song 'I can feel it calling in the air tonight' (or in this case this morning?)
The noises coming out of the club are reasonable. Take the Lions lying down and we will suffer.
I have been here before and have been burnt.

Deep down something had me worried for the essendon game.. Today I'm as confident as can be.. Brisbanes side today is absolutely terrible.. 10 goal win is minimum.

If anyone is feeling nervous, I'd just like to add that I have seen 8 consecutive losses and I will be in attendance today.

Taking my 8 month old he has seen 1 consecutive win (GWS), I'm extremely confident we'll win and win big. I fully expect Merritt to elbow someone in the back of the head and Robinson to be bashed from pillar to post from siren to siren by Viney, Vince, Kennedy etc.

I expect the Lions to come out breathing fire in the first quarter.  Leppa will probably have them up and about and it wouldn't surprise me to see us take a little time to settle.  We just need to keep our focus, get first hands on the ball and make it count on the scoreboard.  If we can put a little distance between us then their heads will drop.  

Everyone needs to do themselves a favour and settle down if they kick the first goal or stick with us early.  It happens.  I am confident we can see of an early challenge.

Looking for big Max to get on top of Stef Martin today and bounce back from last week, while I'm very interested to see how our back line goes after the scrutiny it came under last week.

Dees by 7 goals.

Watching the womans game. Ellie Blackburn is seriously all class, Aussie cricketer Jess Cameron already 3 snags and Melissa Hickey has bigger arms then Cale Morton.

This is fine but, historically, the problem with it is that we don't settle - we go into our shells and battle away for the next three quarters, terrified of losing.

Can almost guarantee that is how this game will play out.

I can guarantee that it won't.  I think we've matured more in this area and we understand what it takes to not only settle, but to put scoreboard pressure on as well.  The Lions are a shocking side and we just need to hold them at arms length early before we put them away.

When was the last time we won as favourites?? Seriously I can't remember, nearly all our wins for the past few years we are rank outsiders !

 

Last year against the Bears- remember that hideous game? Most have probably blocked it from their memory .

Let's hope so - there are certainly good signs generally.

It all depends on the start. If we get away, we get away, and have games like Collingwood to hang our hats on.

But if we get jumped early, we're much more likely to get locked in a close arm wrestle for the whole day.

Until we have more evidence that we've gotten over this pattern, I'll believe it when I see it.

Surprisingly our foot skills has been really impressive. Running for each other and really digging in to win the hard ball.

Don't mind it one bit!

We've shown we can rebound well after a loss so I think we'll be switched on for this game. We've also shown we can score heavily, combine the two and lookout!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
