Coleman is a massive out for them. He and Rich running and delivering off half-back are a handful. Speedy ball movement caused us defensive problems last year so less bounce off opposition half-back is good for us!

On the flip side we seem to have been training fast ball movement ourselves over the pre-season, so can do just as much damage in attack. Long may it continue!

Love the fast ball. Once Carlton switched tempo last night, they got on top of shaky Cats defence. Go quick and daring is a big plus imv.

@Josh As DeelightfulPlay said in the pre-game thread, we’ll be in Bay 213. Entering through Gate 8

Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

 

By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

I really don't rate the Lions as I feel they are missing any genuine hardness.  They seem to be the very definition of faux tough guys.  When the pressure is on they go to water and lose their composure and discipline.  A good, preofessional showing by us and we win by 6 goals.  If we are ruthless, a 10-12 goal win is on the cards.

Is it going to be slippery tonight? If I recall correctly, the round 23 game was quite a dry deck. I’m hoping the humidity isn’t too bad again.

I'm about a 7 iron from gate 1 suckin a XXXX watching the Vic's tear WA a new one and it is perfect, by 7pm tonight it'll be mint for footy

A Club born out of a Dead Carcass, a once proud club that the AFL threw in the Garbage can. 
their other useless mistake was the Brisbane Bears…

From this pile of Pus… We have Brisbane

Bunch of lowlife snipers with a Clown at Full Forward

Wow... (Is there any team you like SWYL)

The relocation of the Swans and the Lions is probably the best thing the AFL ever did. Agree it was tough on their Melbourne followers

Everyone knows we probably still have two clubs too many in Melbourne but that fight is now dead

29c here. Beautiful day. Beautiful conditions for Footy tonight 

Engorged Onions Tourism Guide:

Brisbane 2023

For the discerning customer:  go on a pre game River Cat Pub Cruise - start at the dive that is The Hamilton Hotel, make you way to the River Cat public transport system and cruise for around 20 minutes on what is locally known as The Brown Snake and have a drink or 3 at the swanky Powerhouse Museum, with the hipsters and those reliving their youth.

Then onwards upon the water chariot, with a little something refreshing in your pocket, sitting on the back viewing deck,  as the sun sets, and then disembark at Mowbray Park Terminus...

Next, go on a soujurn, meandering with your legs through the parkland to The Pineapple.

Roughly 7 beers in now, head to The Gabba, sit and marvel at your team dismembering the parochial supporters, one heart at a time. 

Is still one of footballs most glorious PT journeys...

Or it was in 2022...

My take on tonight?

We win by 6 goals plus

Why?

  • We are in absolute peak shape at the moment, fitness and injury wise (salo being the one exception)
  • We seem to be in grate psychological shape
  • Can' speak to their fitness levels, but being hammered round one is not a great sign re: their psychological shape
  • They seemingly haven't addressed their two biggest issues - leg speed and a modern defensive system
  • We killed them for leg speed when we played them last season and in 2021- with the second half of the semi being the outlier when we were out of gas
  • We have added leg speed, they haven't and Coleman out hurts big time on that front
  • We know how to exploit their game plan (win contested ball) and our game plan matches up really well with theirs
  • They don't looked to have adjusted their game plan at all - whereas we have tweaked ours so they will need to do more tactical homework
  • One example of above is the decision to bring Foote into the side - considered plan or desperation?
  • We travel well
  • They are the ones under pressure, not us 
  • We are a 4 goal better team

For punter, there are two bets that appeal. 

The line is 4.5 our way (was 3.5 an hour ago). That's crazy. Way too low. Money for old rope

Kade Chandler is $34 to kick most goals. Good value

With Kossie out, Chandler will be our main crumber and will get his chances. if he can sort out his set shots he can snag 3 or 4, which might be enough with Fritter back in spreading the goals

Brisbane has changed a little from when its version of a big day out was heading into the Valley for lunch at the TC Beirne's Department store

People seem to forget that the Lions pantsed us in a final last year. They've added Dunkley and Ashcroft.

Week 1 results often throw up odd results. I expect Lions to bounce back big-time. I expect us to win but it's 50/50. 

It's strange that nobody is mentioning how big a loss Kozzie is.

Reckon we all thought the same about Fritsch last week but still won by 50. 

I think Fritsch returning & BBB seemingly back in form has cushioned the blow.

Responding to Mr Leg's question in the closed thread ....

I would say a combo of his experience and as a key member of the defensive crew he would be able to add that experience & input/feedback during the half time break and possibly from the bench in game.

Obviously rather see him out there but a good chance Tomo stays in me thinks.

Mo i think that sort of goes without saying

Im with you, while i think we'll put up a decent show and should win, i don't think this will be as cruisy as some are suggesting on here

34 is good value.

It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
