[ESKIE]

Sis is convalescing at the moment & we’ve decided to watch the last half of the 99 prelim this arvo in the lead up
Peking duck pancakes at half time .. we’re ready

 

[tragic]

Does anybody know if there are any milestone games this week?

 

[Arr0w]

When we win, Melbourne will be Funky Town

 

[Rustica]

Does anybody know if there are any milestone games this week?

Would have been Owies for his 50th had he not been dropped.

Might still get if chosen as sub

 

[zeggie]

Game day is here. I'm in a weird "so happy to be in a prelim even if we lose" to "would be disappointed if we lose because we absolutely can smash the Pies next week".

Bring it on.

 

[LuckyLee]

How are the nerves, Bluebaggers? Feeling crook in the guts yet?

We’ve done our bit to create the clash of the titans, now it’s all up to you - if you’re good enough.

Isn't Owies set for his 50th?

As if you'd be good enough to knock the Lions off at the Gabba...

 

[Osc1]

As if you'd be good enough to knock the Lions off at the Gabba...

Maybe with last nights umpiring.

 

[tarczonandjane]

It’s worth mentioning that it is quite windy in Brisbane so far today. May have an impact on the game. We’ll see.

 

[Raging Blue]

Owies sub

Would have been nice to get Kennedy into the team but go well Owies do us proud when you come on and give us that emotional spark.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Owies sub is pretty weird for mine.

I guess if plan is to play cottrell forward, it gives you option to drop him back onto wing for extra run late in the game. Would much prefer Kennedy or Cuningham though

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Make it our pre-game song (Love is in the Air)

I'll be seated deep in the Lions den, I've got my phone loaded with 'DeKoning's in the Air', in preparation for when the Baggers start to get on top of this mob.

 

[Y Goat]

Hi all, (also posted this in Ikon park thread, but put here where might get seen) - am looking for 2 tickets/entries to Ikon Park this Sat a/oon, if anyone has 2 spare or isn’t turning up, please let me know - can work out how, and fix you up for it.. Are members, will be in Carlton vicinity from 3pm. If can help, very much appreciated, cheers.. Go Blues

 

[Aphrodite]

LEGEND!

You need some extra motivation?

 

[Raging Blue]

Humble team 1st selfless footy. Only focusing on the basics for 120 min. This is what Voss & his team has created for this moment (no player needs to win this off their own boot). This will create enormous pressure on the team expected to win.

We have the talent (Kennedy, Silvagni, Cuningham, Kemp are not in when available for FFS)

GO BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!

Up the guts: Why the grand final winner will likely take the direct route

The Gabba is no MCG and crunching the data on goalscoring shows just how different the two grounds really are for players.

Great read. thanks.

 

[tragic]

My cousin has a superstition. I dont think weve lost so far this year on a milestone game.

 

[DangerousD]

It can go either way, Brisbane were super banged up in 2003 GF and belted the pies.

I think we can win, Cripps injury seems pretty manageable, just acknowledging we are taking a risk with Doc and Acres and we must accept that risk, that we are picking them despite carrying an injury and to not complain if it goes wrong.

The Giants were all over the Pies last night and a lack of maturity and composure cost them the game, there’s no reason why we can’t push the Lions all the way.

 

[myblueroan]

Would have preferred for them to be no prospect of winning a flag this year, very disappointing that they are still in it. Would have much preferred to be playing GWS if we make it through. I also think that if we don't. Brisbane won't beat them here.

I relish the opportunity.
Just hope we get the chance.

I just read it could be blowing a gale and you wouldn't know cos the gabba is well sheltered.

 

[TD2010]

Lol. I like that... Cry me a Yarra instead of river.

fun fact: first indigenous artist to record the blues, second ever Aussie woman to record an album, and first ever album in Australia recorded in stereo.

 

[David Sylvian]

FACT, had my first hole in one, EVER. Stick that in the old omen pipe.
Given tonight at the pub as a reward. Apologies in advance.
