Lions v Pies at the Gabba could be an interesting one tonight. Which Brisbane will turn up? How will C'wood handle the sweaty conditions?

I hope the Pies smash them tonight, would love it if the Lions are 1-3.

So would I, DZ. But I’d hate it if the Pies were 4-0.

Are you even really a Dees supporter?!?!?!?!

‘Fun’ and ‘Pies’ should NOT be in the same sentence, unless ‘lose’ is in there as well.

Brisbane should prevail on their home turf

i understand this take but geez the pies fans were disgusting the when we lost to them at the end of last year. 

Hopefully the pies struggle in the conditions tonight which will help me rationalise why we were so bad.


Love to see a boil over  Norff v Bluebaggers. That umpire last week in gws game should be banned from umpiring AFL ever again. 

His feelings were hurt when a gws player Cogniglio? questioned his decision to play on after McKay dropped the ball red hot even tossed it away from himself.  Pathetic effort by McKay. Free to carlton bang in front of goal. Disgraceful.

Carlton will get the rub of the green this season due to TV ratings and reserve ticketing fees.

There isn’t many games you would think of as a blockbuster,  much watch game. The tiges and bullies game is  the only game you would think with form and rivalry could make an interesting game. Pies and Lions should be a good watch depending on which Lions outfit turns up. 
 
I’ll be cheering for the Crows and Hawks… 

 

My guess is that the lack of recognised ruckmen will not worry the Pies this evening. I'd like to think it would be close but Pies by 50 plus.

Can you stop them.... Some have said they will tire. Others say tag Daicos but they have the streaming forward game down to perfection

Never usually take this scenario but it would make for some great media.

Apart from the first and last game of the Gather round the rest are mostly bog ordinary games. Even ours against the druggies is nothing to write home about. Certainly wouldnt pay big money to fly and stay over there for the night. Turn on the telly at home.

What sort of crowds are they expecting in such a sparsely populated state? 9 games in all.

Lions will win tonight.

They will phyiscally go after the pies, in particular the daicos brothers 

As i noted ahead of the last round, the way to beat the the pies and swans method is through intense pressure on the ball carier and shutting off corridor options (which has a two fold effect - continue to take the ecorridor on and turn it over more often, don't take it on and lose your one wood).

The dees did both of these things brilliantly against the swans.

On the former we continualy harrased and pressured their key kickers and as a result scored 6 goals from turnrover. On the latter, think how often swans players at half back looked in board for an option, even shaped to kick into the corridor and then changed their mind and went down the line instead. The Mcartin brothers must have done 10 times between them. Blakey too.

The Lions will surely look to take a similar approach in this game. 

I think the humidity wil be a huge facor because the Lions game is built around contested footy and the Pies one wood is their ball movement and ability to hit targets with high risk kicks.

The lions model is less impacted by humidity than that of the pies.

One, a slippery ball means more contested footy and ground balls - which suits the Lions (the pies imnproved contested numbers nothwistanding)

Two, assuming the lions bring the pressure, a slippery ball makes it is more likey the pies' chains of possession will break down - which is what happened in the first quarter of their game against the tigers when the ground was wet.

And three, the foundation of the Pies game is the crazy amount of all team running they do (eg to create outnumbers, multiple leads to hit up to control the ball - somethig we have really adopted - that wave of players following the ball in transition etc etc).

If it is as humid as it was when we played the lions, the pies will really struggle to maintain that sort of running to the end of the game.

The other factor is the Lion's record at the GABBA suggests that behind the cats at tax payer's park, they have the biggest home ground advantage of any team in the AFL. They certainly have an imposing record there. 

Lions by 27 points.

Betting suggestions: 

Lions to cover their +2.5 line @ 1.90 for 10 units.

Lions to win by more than 39 points @ 7.50 for 1 unit

Or maybe they lose 3 or more players which would be the equivalent of us losing Gawn ..

Umming and ahhing about tonight's game all day today. Think it has to be Collingwood, I'll be really annoyed if I tip Brisbane and they turn it up again while Collingwood get a win. Recipe for a bad Thursday night.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
