Have only ever seen us look bad which gets blamed on loading and I’m yet to see any of the supposed benefit where we come out the other side looking fresh. If we’re putting heavy loads in during the week when we’re sitting outside the 8 and can’t afford to drop a single game the fitness staff should get the bullet. For me it’s a combo of new gameplan where players aren’t in the right spots and have to do more work to compensate, Clarry & Petty not having preseasons, young players not having the fitness base, bad turnovers catching us out of position and doing more tail chasing. All of that makes us look slow and tired cos we are. 4

The one of most interest was the 2021 qualifying final, we moved the ball quickly (not like Collingwood do now but quicker than we do currently) we would take a mark at half back or on the wing and we would turn and go kicking towards CHF before turning and kicking to a less congested fwd line. Our small fwd were at the drop of the ball and our pressure was immense. Anyway that seems like a lifetime ago now….. We had trust in Brown, Tmac and Fritta to win marking duals and or bring it to ground with our small fwd setup.

We might cover the ground better tonight. It's a big If though. 🫣 1

If the Lions win I stand to make the princely sum of $1.70 😃 Doesn’t sound like much, that’s coz it’s not. But I don’t wanna tempt fate by not backing against us. For the likes of Brisbane I only blow $10 or $20. Vs Collingwood I’m happy to squander $50. And the big ‘un… Essendon, that’s when I’m very happy to kiss $100 goodbye. A win against Essendon usually sees me living on 2-minute noodles for a spell. But by god, it’s sooooo worth it.
At the break of Gawn 4,512 Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 For some reason I think we’ll take it right up to them. Surely the coaching staff have learnt from the previous encounters on how to face Brisbane. Press up on them hard and don’t let them get their kicking game going. Make it a scrap, keep it in tight and beat them at the contest. This Brisbane side is the worst in the comp at defending ball movement and the Saints put on 100 on them 2 weeks ago. They were the best scoring side in 2021 and 2022 and for 4 of those games we kept them to 60pts each time. Our defence isn’t a whole lot different to those years. Payne is also a big loss for them. I think if we can limit their scoring we are right in this. 5 1

Why did we tinker/regress. Did we become less bold, less risk taking. i love the optimism some have - wish i could be more like that. BUt i cant see how we come closer than 5 goals. Their forward line is on fire atm and they outclass us in the middle. In 2021 the theme was to embrace imperfection and in that was the willingness to take calculated risks. Now, we seem to scared to do it.

Colm 2,204 Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 Not super confident we will get up tonight but hopeful we will be competitive. If we can’t get up things I’m hoping to see are- Clarry finding a way to be effective with a tag. Either going to Neale as others have suggested or going to half forward and having an impact. Rivers having a good game in the middle. Kolt to have a big game. Rising star nomination would be the dream scenario but just building on last weeks performance and getting a bit more involved for longer and I’d be happy. AMW to start and not look out of place. Doesn’t need to play a blinder just play his role and build his confidence. Go Dees 2

DubDee 26,674 Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 I don't see this game as season defining. I think the last 6 weeks have defined our season, I have re-calibrated my expectations for the season and so am not so nervous about tonight. I will just cheer the boys on and enjoy it as much as possible I think we will lose but have a good physical and defensive crack. Their fire power from midfield and fwd will be far too good for us in this form. If we win somehow, I won't change my opinion on us. Still in the 5-10th place bracket. Lions are third favourite for the flag imo 6
