Deeoldfart 8,205 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Incredibly bad luck for Goldie (hamstring tendon), and we'll tymiss her drive out of defence enormously. Hopefully the return of Meg Downie for her first game at AFLW level for the year will offset this somewhat. Important game in preparation for a strong finals campaign.

BDA 23,048 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Goldrick a big loss but great to have Downie back to compensate. Hopefully she can regain sharpness quickly and be ready for finals. 2 Quote
dl4e 5,851 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Good to have Downie back but another match would have helped. Goldie will be missed regardless. However I feel our backline has been somewhat under rated. Birch is usually good but Lampard, Colvin and Tarrant have played well. Heath is god as well and can play wing. 2 Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Some doubt whether this game goes ahead. Due to a covid case in Brisbane anyone arriving from there since March 12 is required to isolate. Lions AFLW team is still in Brisbane. Huge implications for the order of the top 6 if this doesn't go ahead. 2 1 Quote

The women have been in a quasi bubble so are exempted from the isolation requirement. 1 1 Quote

The women have been in a quasi bubble so are exempted from the isolation requirement. Heard him say, if they test negative then the game goes ahead. Uncertainty, doesn't help either side, though a bit more for the travellers. Smash them at home Dees. We have been pressurising the opponents and playing like we want to win. Keep that, include the connection and don't miss the easy goals. Gay, Daisy and Hore to fire. Hanks to improve after a bad one in Freo. Ball getters Paxman and Zanker with Mcnamara outside to control the play. L. Pearce, will power and leadership. The backline to repel them. 4 Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Game scheduled to start in about 90 mins. Anyone know if its going ahead or even if Brisbane arrived in Melbourne this morning? Unfortunately can't find anything on AFL, MFC or Lions websites, twitter. Anyone down at Casey?

Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Just read that the game will go ahead - Lions have been given an exemption by the State Gov't. 1 Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Roos beat Freo. Wouldn't mind meeting Freo in the first week of final. Their last 3 games: unconvincing last minute win vs Carlton, loss to Dees now a loss to Roos. On a bright note: Roos win snuffs out Carlton's chances of making the finals Edited March 27, 2021 by Lucifer's Hero 1 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,876 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 win and we'll finish 3rd or 4th (depending on the filth beating crows), lose and we'll finish 6th 1 Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Just now, whatwhat say what said: win and we'll finish 3rd or 4th (depending on the filth beating crows), lose and we'll finish 6th If we finish 3rd or 4th we get a Home final next week. Heaps to play for! Finish 4th and we play Freo at Home. 1 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 We've been a little labored thus far but hopefully that goal will settle us down. 1 Quote

Kev 10,930 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Good quarter. Ahead by a point. 1. 0. 6 to 1. 1. 7 Bannan, Hanks, Hore, Zanker, Mithin, Paxman doing well. Backline is a wall. Wind was against us. Daisy is out injured leg, Paxman playing forward. Edited March 27, 2021 by kev martin 1 Quote
Rossmillan 589 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Is it a good sign or bad sign the club isn’t disclosing what’s wrong with Daisy? 1 Quote

BDA 23,048 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Brisbane have more class inside 50. Will probably be the difference in this game. Quote
