Training 2017 Preseason

[Gadzorks]

Adelaide in Adelaide for the last week. Meh. not the greatest.

 

[Cockliff38]

Gold Coast getting two games on the Gold Coast and not leaving Queensland at all stinks

 

[irel]

Cool, I can comfortably predict Saturday March 11th 2017 Adelaide will receive torrential rain and the game will be called off.

 

[BRAB]

I might actually go watch a preseason game given how close to gold coast one is to me. That's fairly exciting

Adelaide in adelaide still makes me feel a bit nauseous so even for a preseason game I am a bit worried about that

 

[Lion Fanboy]

I guess there are no local communities for the Lions to support. Every pre season game gets further from our base. The only bright spot I guess is that we don't have a 4th game because I am sure that would be in WA.

Don't mind the tough preseason games, no point playing "easy" teams and thinking we are flying.

 

[royboys4eva]

Because we don't travel enough in the season proper let's make sure the Lions travel interstate twice in pre season!

 

[Always a Lion]

No home games this pre season. Not having access to the Gabba until cricket season ends really does shaft us.

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

Meh. It will be fine.

Yet they can hold a Adele concert on it right in the middle of cricket season.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Is Metripong otherwise engaged when we're playing the Suns? Odd to schedule the game a couple of miles down the road, if not.

Kevin Mitchell is a big fan.

 

[Balony_pony16]

So happy we got an Adelaide Game. Will go to my first lions preseason game now

 

[CarterS]

We did ok in the main draw, not too concerned, can't win em all. We need to get used to road trips anyway.

Probably related to all the delays they're having getting the surrounding works done for the Comm Games.

 

[Fatcat08]

It will be nice when we eventually get our training centre sorted and have an oval to play some home pre season games at. Surprised they didn't have one at Burpengary this year or even out at Toowoomba somewhere. Bit of a lost opportunity to get out to the Darling Downs IMO. Someone like Sydney or GWS would be an option out there now given there are flights from Sydney straight to Toowoomba

Absolutely love it. Too many times have we faced weak opponents in the preseason. All 3 clubs can stake claims to top 8 and above.

Have at it lions.

TIL Etihad is a community stadium.

 

[Jivlain]

TIL Etihad is a community stadium.

The way they go on about Etihad during the TAC Cup, on The Recruit, etc, you'd think it was the traditional spiritual home of all footy fans.

 

[The Zork]

We travel 3 times, afl hates us, no favours - big deal!
Never going to get anywhere if we want things handed to us where we are comfortable.
Get the younger/new guys involved on the road - that's where the bonding takes place.
Now understanding the sooky nature of the facebook commenters some speak about.

 

[M Malice]

pre-season draw is meh. as long as we get out of it with minimill injuries all is sweet.

[Coastal Lion]

Mikes Kitchen @ Merrimac does great Ribs and Burgers would be a good spot to go after the game.

Except the the ground is at Mermaid Waters.

You're just ants at a picnic, Mr Ripper.
