Preview Brisbane Lions v Carlton Blues PF, 5.15pm Saturday 23rd Sep 2023

I have a sneaky feeling this might be a game for Bailey to shine with 3-4 goals

I think he and Rayner will have a big say tomorrow. The Blues sound very focused on our key talls and Charlie. No way they contain Rayner and Bailey, so hope we play through them both as much as possible.

Selfless Gunners told Fages not to pick him - can't believe that Jack has been taken in by the anti-gunners agenda Nunez Elixuh :

I love a team first player. It probably helps that he has 3 premiership medals already.
Although I have been 'anti-gunners' I am not anti the man, just anti his selection, which at the end of the day isn't his call. I don't think it is a conincidence that our forwards are hitting some career best form since he has been at the club. I think he is a person we need to retain beyond his playing days as an assistant coach and that he could be an extremely effective on feild coach in our reserves.

I agree. If the ball is on the deck he is dynamite

 

[p4p1]

I have this vision of the score being Brisbane 5.4 to Carlton 1.6 at quarter time. But that seems like a lot of shots for a quarter and not enough (I hope) for half time. So I am pretty that won't be right. I don't like the idea of giving up 7 shots in a quarter but with it being against a big vic club and a prelim, I am expecting some similar calls to Port 2 weeks ago.

I have a sneaky feeling that AhChee is going to have a really big game as well.

Staying in the sunshine coast. Looking for travel info. Drive into city for the game and get shuttle bus or drive to landsborough, catch train to city. If driving where is best place for car park for quick exit... just in case!

 

[luthor]

I rate Carlton fans the worst in the competition. (even more than Collingwood) As supporters they are the worst losers and the worst winners I have ever watched a game of AFL with. Our last game at Metricon they were disgusting. The only good part was that most of them left the game only 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Lets hope the same happens on Saturday.

Any Calton uncles out there reading this, better be on their best behaviour

You have been warned.

Have to say, our Social Media team has been insanely good all season.

I wish I could agree. I think they are C tier.

Very selfless of Gunston.

He would be excellent as a forward coach.

Man, I suggest scrolling through GWS’s socials.

Ours are very, very tame to say the least.

 

[Nunez]

I prefer the Anthony Alsop era of Lions media.

 

[almagoo]

I wish I could agree. I think they are C tier.

I'm probably easily pleased compared to recent times, but I think their memes particularly have been excellent. ANyway not worthy of more air time...more important fish to fry.

 

[dmac_55]

Any news or vision on how Clug has been training? I know he was BOG after the injury but has he been a bit sore and doing light duties?

Hopefully just a corky and he is 100% tomorrow! Vital player for us

As long as some thug (in a best and fair fashion) doesn't take him out...

 

[harvester]

I think Brisbane has really stepped up this year. Me and the missus enjoy their videos.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Tell you what, Carlton and the Warriors have both brought their bloody weather haven't they

This southerly is expected to persist into tomorrow arvo/evening. Wonder who it favours

Firstly I reckon it'll be a cross breeze, so not really favouring an end. Or does the wind become swirly out on the ground, like at the MCG?

Secondly it might make the ball a bit trickier for the big blokes to mark, which you would think would bring our small blokes into the game.

On the other hand tho it might inhibit our ability to transition from one side of the field to the other, particularly if we start on the northern wing or the breeze is blustery and unreliable. This probably hinders us more than Carlton?

 

[Squizz89]

How’s everyone’s nerves holding up? Must admit I’m starting to feel it. Wish they’d just bounce the ****ing ball tbh.

 

[Warwick]

Tried to fire myself up by watching highlights of that famous EF win in 2009.

From my recollection we had a pretty gun team that season, but I must say we had some average players running around that night - Austin, Harding, Hooper, Stiller, Sheldon, Hawksley.

 

[BuntonRules]

Very realistic of Gunston.

I drive down from the Sunny Coast for games, I park at Carindale shopping centre. There's buses that go directly to the Gabba from there.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

should be 14000 spare seats at the gabba by 3 quarter time if everything goes to script

I like the seats in the Southern Stand at the MCG.

When we kick the sealer the opposition supporters stand up to leave and their seats go bang bang bang as they stand up.

The new stand seats make no noise.

What noise, if any, do the Gabba seats make?

14,00 bangs. Sweet.
