Game Day Round 22, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. GWS

[Nunez]

Caught up with Dom Fay this morning and he bought me a tea. The guy skimped on buying quality tea and the tea bag broke! Still drank it like a champ and went to throw it out, only to see the leaves forming a shape.... It was some luscious hair.

Ashcroft to have a blinder today. BoG performance incoming.

 

[Section 5]

Prior is the sub today.

A little surprised.
Maybe the MC wants a smaller lockdown role today.

 

[Section 5]

At present the sun won't be an issue for players and the crowd.
A few scattered showers showing up on the radar.
Watching this one from home again today
Get the job done today boys.
A slight lead at 1/4 time will be a good start.
Build on that as the game progresses

 

[Perrip]

A little surprised.

Same. Seems we swapped Joyce in for Prior and Bailey for Ashcroft on the I/C for the final lineup.

 

[Section 5]

Did i see Joyce with a helmet in hand or am i dreaming
EDIT: Yep a helmet

100mls forecast from Sunday, pretty happy it's dry today after the Geelong game earlier in the year.

 

[Section 5]

Bredford going to Neal to start with at least according to their coach.

No, he's wearing one.

Something our more emotionally attuned supporters may like to keep an eye on today... Just seeing some highlights, it looks like we make far more of an effort to get around each other after goals and other positive acts, AWAY from home. At the Gabba it really looks like we go through the motions at times. The contrast is quite stark.

I'm not quite sure which is the chicken and which is the egg, but this may be a cause/effect of our relatively poor form at home. Let's keep an eye on our energy levels today and see if our guys are getting around each other even for all the little things.

playing silly buggers and kicking to the western end first quarter. This happens maybe 10% of the time. Bit of a breeze... Imagine it will swirl and go both directions today.

 

[iBeng]

Nervous but keen. LFG.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

What's with the audio

 

[Nathan Barley]

Did Joe take longer than usual lining up then?

 

[Grasshopper17]

Take your freakin chances lads

 

[Nathan Barley]

That was bloody good by Ash to go inboard

 

[Nathan Barley]

Both Morris and Joe tackled in the marking contest

Alright guys, I've just returned from my overseas trip the week after our last loss to Hawthorn.

This is the first match I'll be watching live for over 2 months.

However there is another circumstance which might explain why the footy gods have graced us with such good fortune - I had my favourite retro 90s Fitzroy scarf sent to the tailor for repairs before I left. I've been told it was stitched up immediately before our first win of this streak.

We'll soon find out.

Go Lions.

Typical Joe show. Great mark misses the simple shot. But then pulls that off the ground

 

[lionshine]

Clever Joe

This makes me nervous

Why is Keefe allowed to pin Ashcroft to the ground after giving away the free?

 

[Squizz89]

Oscar has had a huge start, as he should with this match up.

 

[haystark]

Scrappy start but finally settled ️

Turns out big screw up to let his man run forward
