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.

There's an 8:35 pm flight to Melbourne. I suspect it will have a few players on board unless they want to get up for 7am flight tomorrow

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.

This.

When it's red hot, they s&*t themselves. When it's white hot, their guys are in the beer fridge behind the hotdog stand.

The mail from some (not I) early on was Fritter and Viney were the two ins. I think there has been more chance May is just in the named to mess a touch with Brisbane's heads. There is no chance we would risk him if not 100% particularly with the form Tomo showed round 1.

Guaranteed the Lions will smash into Gawn. It has been a constant tactic over the last y times we have met. Port do it as well.

Melksham has to be the sub, he is the perfect footballer for it. He comes on when everyone else is exhausted, and uses his wonderful kicking skills and goal sense. 

Harmes to Rich.

Spargo, Chandler and Fritta to cause the Loins a massive headache.

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 😂

The kids can come down to the fence at the end to see our boys come over to clap us. I’ll take care of them. 😘

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

Still regard the Brisbane (ex-Bank) Hilton the best Hilton in the world - although those memories go back to my military days up to 1988. From distant memories, didn't the Valley have the greatest pub steak in Oz? Just cannot remember its name these days. Not as good as the Steak Stable in Ballarat, of course, but close. Fourex was the best beer to drink in Brisbane when the humidity rose to 3 shirts-a-day levels. As for the footy team in this modern era - sadly not as prominent or attractive as the Good Ol' Bloods. Always fun to go to Albert Park footy ground. I think the Dees are going to take some of that inherited blood from the Lions, tonight. Viney will be a raging bull looking for targets and misfits. We are going to kill 'em.

Silly by the club.

If there is a hint of doubt that he might not get up then just simply rule him out. 

No point doing further damage, especially with calves as they can become a recurring injury especially when you hit your 30's

I don’t get this at all. If there is any doubt why would you risk it. Seems they’re leaving it up to the player too. Of course May is going to want to play. I’ll be furious if he pings his calf.

Do you think a 6ft 3 130kg bearded beast will pass as a kid?

 

...if so there's 3 of us 😂

Reminds me of when they let Petracca make the call last year against Freo even though he was crook as dog in bed with the flu. 

Was MIA the whole game when we could have played a fit and healthy player.

Especially on the hard deck at the Gabba.

Yep we’ve already got plenty like this. And that’s just the girls.

Troy Chaplin could not be less convincing that May will play. 
 

We clearly won’t risk him. We are just toying with Brisbane. They have to plan around May.

You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
