Preview Brisbane Lions vs Sydney Swans Sunday 21st June 1:10pm @ GABBA

[SBD Gonzalez]

Biggest challenge if the season in my book. This will be a great game, Swans by 1 point - McDonald after the siren.

With a goal or a behind?

 

[cherub]

What a joke, those sort of tackles happen half a dozen times a game. No slinging action. The only difference is the resulting concussion, which is going to happen in a contact sport. Don't cry when one of our players is wiped out for a final for something similar.

The AFL is just covering their butts legally when players start suing them for CTE.

Do you think Brad Shepherd’s legal action has anything to do with the sudden uptick in the severity of penalties?
Players sue for concussion symptoms. Families might sue for CTE but currently it is only a post-Mortimer diagnosis.

This might be your best one yet!

You must be quite young then!

Definitely a massive crackdown on actions which leave the ball carrier no options to save themselves. Yes it looks off that these tackles get 3 games but all of them have the common theme of pinning both arms and a driving force with contact of the head to the turf.

 

[Mister B]

Woo, Mister B goes in for free, you’re in dude!

My parents didn't sign my permission form to go. They never let me do anything! Why do they hate me?

 

[bedford]

This might be your best one yet!

Kept getting into Rowy

 

[bedford]

Bedford shouldn’t be suspended. I have no idea what he did wrong. Cameron’s was much worse. I think he deserved a suspension.

The mods haven't suspended me for Months !

 

[Timetoroarlike44]

****ing bullshit and the Bedford one is even worse. They are punishing tackle outcomes, not player actions at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if the ultra soft Heeney suspension drove them to crack down this week.

Cameron should play, especially as he was useless last time we met.

Haha fair point. And he’s in much worse form this year!

It can be a cliche but he is taking the opposition’s best lockdown defender and it’s allowed Lohman to be dangerous. Cameron has also been pretty good defensively. And kicking 2 or so a game. I reckon we’ll miss him, we are appealing. I just feel after the bullshit good bloke get off he won’t get off again.

Agree with a few of your posters that being a goal or two down at qt would be a good result for the swans. Our starts are at opposite ends of the spectrum!

Added on to that we are just not putting away sides at the gabba this year. Blues won from 46 up, saints were 37 down got within 7, adelaide got close after going 4 goals down.

Also agree with a few of the posters here saying we are not in red hot form. Played very well v dogs and port in our 6 game streak. The rest we have just done enough. So a very good test of whether we are making up the numbers or not.

And what terrifies me? Your small / mid forwards. Papley. Heeney fresh off a rest. Warner pushing up there. We have let smalls kick bags this year - Keays, Higgins, pickett…. And our best stopper starcevich is coming off concussion.

 

[RilesMacca]

Some Richard Cranium on X saying Rowy should make way for Heeney

its defo that john murphy bloke, he hates him

 

[fit 4 life]

If we are relying on Sam Reid then it’s season over. Sat through the 2022 grand final to experience that. I’ll pass on an encore

 

[The King!]

Had a vivid dream we won the grand final. 160-100 against Geelong, but I forgot it was on and turned on at the end to see Grundy celebrating and Wicks had kicked 6 goals.

I woke up before the medal presentation so cannot name the norm smith winner.

I have had that guy blocked for a while now after all he was the one that suggested we needed Paddy Dow in our midfield over Rowbottom

I had a dream the other night in a work meeting someone's mini baby T-Rex climbed out of their coffee cup, jumped onto the floor, transformed into a spider that jumped and bit my leg causing me to violently jolt in bed, waking up my partner who just found me almost hyperventilating.

Swap?

Funny, I had a similar dream earlier in the season. Grand final against Geelong. I was confident we'd well and truly atone for 2022. In the dream I ran into some trouble getting to the game, finally made it to the ground during the 3rd quarter, ran to my seat, looked up at the scoreboard and we were getting smashed, I was gutted.

Long story short, I hope you're the prophet.

Ummmm The T Rex was fine, but the Spider got you.

 

[Edmund hunt]

We could have a stacked midfield for this game. Heeney,Mills, Parker, Rowbottom, Gulden and Warner may all get time.

[Mister B]

Was having a drink with a couple of astute football brains on Saturday night and raised the point that I thought we would risk Harry coming back as in the past he has done a fairly solid job of shutting down Charlie Cameron

. I think the suspension takes this out of the question and they will keep him out for another week.

Let's be clear though, if Cameron was playing, Harry definitely would have played.

 

[Mister B]

Electricity supply is still intermittent in QLD.

Safer to not have to rely on those new-fangled light thingys.

So the mainland version of Tassie?

Some Cats player with less of an impact than our best on the day.

Any possibility this is Rowbottom's burner account on X just posting for shits and giggles? Nobody could be stupid enough to actually believe what they are posting.

Back on secondary-topic…
Surely Brian from Family Guy rates right up there ?!
