Neale and Lester are significant upgrades on Mathieson and Madden, albeit Neale might be underdone.

Brisbane are imposing, but whilst it's true they've won their last 7, all but one of them have been in Queensland, and of those all but one have been at the Gabba. They've had a great fixture run after their shocking opening month.

So yes, they've beaten Port and Richmond, but they did so at the Gabba, where they've barely left for two months. 

They're surely no less beatable than the Dogs were last week.

They have to think the same things about our midfield. 

i very much doubt they're wondering whether harmes is playing on oliver, petracca, jordon, pickett, anb or...himself?? ?

it should be a ripper of a contest between the midfields

still think gawn and jackson gives us an advantage over them

I'm happy with that call. Really happy to see Sparrow get a game.

Interesting emergencies: Baker, Bedford, Bowey and Mitch Brown.

M Brown getting into the emergencies but B Brown not.

Must be the "B" team

I like how the changes to the team are always minimal. No more than needed.

Building consistency in team selection is a feature of recent successful teams. Get the balance right and let it continue.

Sparrow a sound selection preferable to the lite-soy latte alternative being ‘floated’ by some DL pundits. We prefer our our ‘coffee’ ? and committed. No froth.

I always find these pejorative soy posts puzzling

Not that I ever wish injuries or anything but when he was originally injured and they announced how long he'd be out for I'm pretty sure it was beyond our match. How come our players never come back sooner?

Um . . . Steven May.

And for the same reason, ie consistency, I suspect jj will play wing and captain Jack the inside mid role jj has been playing in vice captain jack's absence.

Minimises positional movements

Steven May came back earlier than anticipated.

Sparrow obvious choice. Brings the added grunt and physicality required for Brisbane. 
I would’ve been miffed if Baker was named. 
 

Good result.

Took a few mins but I got there in the end. Thought Viney was playing. Stop getting my hopes up.

I was sitting at the counter of a cafe when the waiter said to the barista 'Anthony Rocca'.  When I enquired what that was I was advised - weak skinny latte.

Both for our sakes and his own. Brown is a known quantity, Weid apart from 2 games at the end of 2018 has barely fired a shot. Last chance, hope he rips it apart with both hands.

Get some aggression going Weid.

Viney Tomlinson Langdon from best 22. 
 

Lions missing Gardiner and … otherwise at full strength

I think Harmes on McCluggage is a good move.  

Hopefully he will send the Luggage to Siberia

Really? Thought he had been injured in the twos for some reason.

Baker the sub for me. It would be poor form to be the sub in your debut.

    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.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
