Game Day 2024 Round 19 Brisbane v Sydney 20 July @ Gabba @ 1:10 PM

[Swan4Life]

Just got back from Europe and I am stoked to be watching the game on a widescreen TV instead of a tablet or phone.

This will be a tough game no doubt but by the same token we should not fear the Lions despite their five game winning streak, they only squeezed past the Eagles last week.

We've got this.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Let's be real we should belt them if we're as good as we think we are

A shuffle of the mids should be no biggy

Neale, Dunkley, McLuggage, Ashcroft & the Big O is the biggest test our mids will face all year.

The best result today is a Lions win

Like the new term of yours ‘micro-tank’. I’d rather see a logjam below us where they have to fight every match. No micro-tanking next week tho, must keep the dogs down.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

How much will we trail by today at QT people? Closest to the pin wins a prize! I say 24 pts

 

[Jeffers]

First time this year where I’ve really felt like we’re the underdog. Hope the players feel the same way and it fuels their hunger for the contest.

Cmon bloods

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Comes down to how hard are we going to try

 

[sataris]

Please smash the peasant dirt farmers.

I should resent that living in the country. But I'll let it slide this time.

I think you farm a higher quality of dirt.

The kind of dirt you buy in stores.

Naming Corey Warner (and teasing Sam Reid) is all the evidence I need that Horse isn’t going in to this one to win it

I would hope so, it's fertilized by goat shit.

So we flew up with the cattle to Brisbane instead of business class? I knew it!

 

[caesar88]

I feel like this is the kind of unexpected game we'll have a big win in and then lose a way more winnable one like Bulldogs next week or... shudder... Port Adelaide.

We always lose to Port.

The Swans are the club that has kept Hinkley in a job.

Assuming Sydney make it to the MCG on the last Saturday in September, who would you prefer to play:

• Geelong
• Carlton
• Brisbane
• Freo

(Can’t really see anyone else making it, but you get the point)

Winning today is an irrational objective if the season goal is to win the Grand Final

 

[Adnico26Parker]

McVeigh said Corey is likely the sub

I’d prefer Geelong. Freo would be fine too.

I would like to avoid Brisbane and the Bravedogs*.

* I can see them making a GF, if the Vic media (& hence umps) jump off the Carlton & Essendon bandwagons.

How is it irrational to beat a contender on their home deck.

We're not in the business of engineering a ladder

 

[Banyo Bloods]

I usually never miss an opportunity to
Watch them live but can’t make it today. Usually a hostile place though as the Lions supporters have that whole QLD v NSW mentality. Personally this is the game through the year I always want to win as I can’t be in the same house as my Dad during as we get nasty.

Sad

Anyway hopefully we don’t start slow like every game since the bye

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Swannies by 37 today. Easy.

Cmon boys!!

There's 'old' and there's SBD Gonzalez 'old'.
