More interesting is despite our 3 forced outs to Injury Wicks is not even on the extended bench??

I didn't even think of Wicks whoops

Why is that interesting? He was dropped for being out of form and was poor in the VFL. Needs to earn his spot.

The thing about the Lions is, if you score more than them, you usually beat them.

Last week he almost played, this week he is behind Corey Warner? It is a fair question

Not bad hey

Corey Warner has been pretty good the last few weeks

Thats a good answer for sure, just when Heeney2frankling mentioned it , it seemed a reasonable thought is all.

I don't personally mind Warner, Mitchell being sub.

Presume Reid won't be sub.

Stat that sort of encapsulates the two teams style;


Brisbane is very much win the stoppage and get the ball fwd as quick as possible, (3rd for clearances, 1st for kicks)

It is indeed a fair question.

I’m no great wrap on Wicks - but Warner and Mitchell haven’t exactly been on fire either.

I can only assume they’ve seen a need for more outside run in McI’s absence.

Tom Hickey career bounces: 0.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Guarantee we win this Game

Load up they are favourites and enjoy the winnings.

Brisbane are doing a good job getting over the line against teams they should beat, but the form line is misleading imo.

Will need to play well for sure but we will be ready .

Swans by 25-125

25-50 point win for the Swans sounds about right. Sadly I just can't see the Lions getting a win here.

The incidence of career ending blood noses is a real worry

I just love how all the fans were so hyped about this being the game of the round and such a huge and important test of our credentials, and then Horse at selection was just like

I think its the complete opposite tbh. Sydney take the game on through breaking the lines by foot which is why they have alot of bounces and play on % from marks but Brisbane are a possession based side. In last 5 games Sydney average 84 marks per game and Brisbane 118. 107 of Brisbane's marks are uncontested and Sydney roughly 77. Shows that Brisbane like to Switch it around and poke holes in the defensive structure.

Because for a majority of the season he was in a team thats been 3 games clear on top?

Now he is behind names such as Warner/Mitchell which is a bit insane

I don't think he's "behind them."

Worth remembering that we'll have different priorities for different players.

Last week Parker needed to be eased back into senior footy. This week Mills needed to be rested. And right now Wicks needs to find form in the VFL.

 

[dosser]

Bit of a stretch to suggest a shoulder injury that occurred wrestling a teammate during post season celebrations suggests a body not built for afl. As i said, 45 games across the previous 2 seasons.

Hopefully the rest may have done wonders for his Achilles

 

[kelpie_X]

Apparently their defence was we're playing Sydney on the weekend

It's funny because it's true

I'm laughing... but I haven't ruled it out as a possibility

 

[anotherletdown]

Is Mills being sore enough to miss already a worry

Depends, if it's soreness in his calves then I'd be worried

So, Chad has had more bounces than Brisbane. Just, just, wow
