[HirdyLannister]

Players that are missing from best 22

Heppell
Stringer
Hooker
Lavade
Langford
Orazio
Daniher

Lions are going to pump Essendon a new one.

 

[Power Raid]

lions by 30

 

[bungalow_bill]

A couple of best 22 outs for the Lions as well - McStay and Rich (not 100% yet) both crucial players forward and back. Will be interesting to see who replaces them. Witherden a good chance for Rich

Dogs already did that

 

[Great8]

Lions by 7-8 goals. Despite being badly undermanned I hope we put up a fight

 

[JayJ20]

We generally match up well against Brisbane. Our forwardline is completely decimated with injuries though so it'll be hard to kick a winning score. The midfield battle should be good. Looking forward to it.

 

[mpal6]

Dont worry, we always keep the door open for a willing team to hunt us down. Our kicking accuracy is poor so you'll find we'll continue to tease across Q3 and Q4.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Lions injuries starting to pile up. Main ruck and both a key back and forward will test us.

 

[Billy ray]

woooo
got my ticket
the qld footy festival continues

 

[Shanghaistu]

This one might be played between the arcs given that our backline is doing ok but our forward line is essentially non-existent..

 

[windyhill]

Due to drop one Lions, close last week.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Bit concerned with this one have a feeling the Lions will lose by about 6 goals.

 

[Donakebab]

So you're predicting Brisbane to only kick a goal or two?

 

[bungalow_bill]

No just think we're due for a loss.

 

[rumply]

Draper making his debut is something to look forward to, might inspire a few to lift their game.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Due to drop one Lions, close last week.

Yeah and now with our most important ruck/back/forward out think we will go down. Bombers seem to match up well with us too

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Yeah and now with our most important ruck/back/forward out think we will go down. Bombers seem to match up well with us too

To be fair last time we played Heppell, Hooker, Stringer, Ambrose, Fantasia were in the team. But so was Zac Clarke...

 

[The 747]

Brisbane could set an all time record for points kicked in this game. No points total, points kicked.

 

[Lions99991]

McStay Isn't playing, so we could fare better this week. Unfortunately, Hipwood is still in the team. So i'm expecting a solid 1 goal 5 investment from him

I’m tipping an arm wrestle bill.

 

[Donakebab]

No just think we're due for a loss.

Yeah but that would imply that Essendon can kick more than 8 or 9 goals. Hard to see that happening most games, let alone the week when we are kicking it straight to Harris Andrews.

 

[bungalow_bill]

I’m tipping an arm wrestle bill.

Good chance similar to the game V Melbourne with us losing the tight one this time around

 

[bungalow_bill]

Brisbane could set an all time record for points kicked in this game. No points total, points kicked.

Curious to know what the record is. Whatever it is Lions reaction is "hold my beer" Will need McStay back to have any real chance tho
