[Jibroni 4,945]

Jut be competitive Dees and good luck to Monez.

[layzie 33,294]

Not happy that Bowey has bowed out. Big loss

[Redleg 40,370]

Can we please avoid the early injury.

We have already had the pre game injury.

Sorry L but he isn't.  His last few weeks have been bog ordinary.

Might give watching this one a miss to be honest…I go to every game live in Vic but for whatever reason just get too stressed out off the TV

That might be partly due to the way they video it these days.  There are numerous close shots where you only see the ball and maybe 2 players. The ball heads out of shot and you have no idea if it is a brilliant pass to a team mate or a disaster or whatever.  This heghtens the tension and I'm sure it is deliberate by Fox/7 for that reason. Certainy is not of interest to those who want to follow the game.

Not really... he's been pretty poor this year post injury.

Had it not been for Salem's injury I would have dropped him for AMW.

God speed to the ground ball in our back half tonight 

[P-man 13,366]

God I’d love an upset in this. Fox are giving us no chance.

 

[Superunknown 4,158]

I’ve taken us on the line to get within 34pts plus all of May Viney and Rivers for 20 posessions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 😂

And WCW, as an ex Melbournite who cycled rain hail and shine from Sandy to work in Richmond every day, who has been living not far south of the Gabba in the Northern Rivers since 2011, the nights are cold. I’ve a neck warmer on, 3 layers and keep muttering about underfloor insulation for our house risen on poles. I’m in thermal fleece tops on the bike at present! Brrrrrrr

Agreed, big part of our structure downback. Especially as we are playing 4 KPDs in the back. We will miss him.

[waynewussell 4,961]

Gee, Ollie looks overweight tonight, NOT!

I think it’s genius selection plan - tall defence to more than combat their strength.

With a flood defence cover for ground ball.

Lots of space for Kossie to play huge.

Can’t wait !

The boys appear to be 'ON' tonight.

Zero expectations so nothing to lose.

Just loosen the schackles a little Simon and aside from basic defensive structures behind the ball, no + ones early FCS and manic pressure when we don't have the pill.... let the boys play footy mate.

We just might get close and even pull off a miracle win subject to the above.

Let’s go boys. Just have a crack! 🔥

How to wreck a Friday night?

[Gawndy the Great 9,010]

My prediction Is the Lions will score 5+ goals in q1 3-4 in the first 10 mins and that’ll be the game they won’t let us get closer than that margin. Can’t see a blow out.

[jane02 3,733]

Let’s hope we don’t hear John Denver too many times tonight 🤮

[layzie 33,294]

Let's go Dees. Grind it out, forward half game.

Unbelievable. I had to check and make sure that we were actually playing the lions tonight.

Hated by the AFL, Hated by the Umpires and Hated by the Commentators

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,505]

I’m kind of pumped.

Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?!

Go Dees ❤️💙
