Preview Brisbane Lions v Geelong - Thursday 24 June 2021

[BuntonRules]

They finally had a press conference indoors, away from the traffic and wind noise. And you could hear the questions, so it made sense. Amazing.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Would have played Mathieson

 

[Section 5]

Looks like Rhys out for Zorko
[13] Thomas Berry,[36] Rhys Mathieson,[38] Connor Ballenden,[40] Jack Payne
EMG

 

[Section 5]

 

[BangyBangy]

Bit of a risk not playing Payne IMO. As others have said Coleman is very lucky

Payne the sub? If one of their forwards gets off the chain someone is going to fake a hammy lol.

 

[Section 5]

So from the above named team
Robbo to wing
Zorko to midfield
Bailey forward

 

[Section 5]

CBA's Round 14

Lachie Neale	Brisbane Lions	111(Fantasy Points	87 (TOG%)	17 (CBA's)	19(Total CBA's)	89( CBA %)
Oscar McInerney	Brisbane Lions	83	90	16	19	84
Jarryd Lyons	Brisbane Lions	161	80	13	19	68
Rhys Mathieson (out)	Brisbane Lions	79	66	6	19	32
Deven Robertson	Brisbane Lions	57	68	6	19	32
Zac Bailey	Brisbane Lions	99	85	6	19	32
Hugh McCluggage	Brisbane Lions	118	87	5	19	26
Mitch Robinson	Brisbane Lions	55	83	4	19	21
Joe Daniher	Brisbane Lions	60	98	3	19	16

Joel Selwood	Geelong Cats	106(Fantasy Points)	82(TOG%)	20 (CBA's)	26(Total CBA's)	77(CBA %)
Esava Ratugolea	Geelong Cats	52	78	18	26	69
Mark Blicavs	Geelong Cats	90	88	14	26	54
Brandan Parfitt	Geelong Cats	98	73	12	26	46
Quinton Narkle (out)	Geelong Cats	50	54	12	26	46
Patrick Dangerfield	Geelong Cats	82	78	8	26	31

So going on above from the Dogs game Blicavs (total of 26 hit out) & Ratugolea (13 hit outs) were both in the center together on 6 occasions
Maybe this happened when Selwood was not in the middle

Combination of a big body and a big pest. No offence to Kiddy but if he isn't pressuring which he hasn't done lately he offers very little.

 

[KissKiss]

Its not the decision I would have made but we should all know by now that Fagan doesn't change his team structure

 

[mpal6]

Looks like Kiddy did his job last week on whoever it is.
Needs to negate Stewart or Tuohy this time, fingers crossed.

Sat on the bench for over half a game

With 46% game time?

 

[beardancer]

We have an incredibly well spoken and thoughtful coach - so lucky!

Yes and happy birthday Chris.

 

[David C]

The changes are pretty obvious if you ask me. Go Lions.

 

[mpal6]

hey, if coach is happy with whatever he did - that's all that matters.

 

[Nunez]

I think people should remember it was an ugly, hard game of football - both to watch and play. Not an easy game for an inexperienced small forward/HFF to play.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

How big of a crowd they expecting tomorrow night ?

 

[seanthelion]

Here's a game against Geelong from 8 years ago to the day that you might remember to get us into the mood. Oh and happy birthday Fages!

 

[martinson]

I don't think it matters much whether we play Coleman , Matho or whoever else. They've got a stronger M/F than when we met last so the key is to match them there .

 

[briztoon]

Well it will be one short as I don’t want to take my bronchitis to the game.

 

[Viceregal]

Certainly some blast from the past names mentioned in the commentary - still a good feeling

Expecting anything different this week?

 

[Nunez]

Brb watching the fourth quarter of our 2019 game.
