I think the heat is going to play a hand in the game,it is going to 28c and hotter in the centre of the G,that will suit the Lions.
I remember when Robert Walls was coaching them against Hawthorn,it was a hot day,hawthorn were up by 38 points at 3/4 time,Wallis pointed to them standing the shade,and looking a bit flat,well Brisbane ran over the top of them.
I am sure the Lions will cope with the heat better!!!

*45 points

It's a fine line between embarrassing and fun.

This week in Melbourne is tailor made for us adhd-ers. Can let ourselves fly and don't have to mask and self regulate our highs.

From that perspective - how cool is fevola? Totally over the top, no filter. My kinda guy.

Would you feel the same if say Dayne Beams did something similar yesterday at BHA training.

Where did you see this Gadz? I didn't think team was named till tomorrow night.

Hmmm. Social media but can't find it again.

Clearly I'm so excited I don't even know which day of the week it is.

Did any notice after the GWS game,Cox had a ice pack on his knee and was walking with a limp.

I have no problem with opposition and neutrals having fun with us.

I think I'd laugh at fev. Clearly it's a stich up not serious. I'm sure he doesn't give a rats who wins. Just playing for laughs.

We've had some awesome interactions with pies supporters here today.

Feels different to normal games - we are both grand finalists and people of both brands seem to enjoying that for the moment.

It'll be back to sheep stations on Saturday.

The more black the better for them.
In the 28-29 degree day

Me neither Gadzorks, but I feel sure it is one of these.

Now I'll never figure which day it is .

That's an awesome post 3kz. Love your commitment.

 

[Squizz89]

Forecast of 29 degrees for Saturday. That’s actually getting pretty hot now tbh. Whilst that should help us you’d think, I hope we have enough runners out there too.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

How about we resurrect this thing of beauty? Tactically it could work. While the Collingwood players are laughing at us, we could get the jump on them.

Why did they make that paddle pop lion so big? It may have had less controversy had they just kept it small like the traditional one.

Thanks Gadzorks. You know I rate you super highly, so your post warranted it.

That is the other great thing about this week. The unity and solidarity and collective desire to see us win the Premiership on Saturday is a galvanising force on our board.

The stakes are high, but there is no mistaking the joy that comes from having our very special group of players in the Grand Final.

I think there was LSD involved.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I think there was LSD involved.

And the traditional lion one now is a bit more bigger than it was, they trimmed the blue off. Not sure why Brisbane messed up the design.

Why is this thread talking about shit jumpers from the past?

I don't recall that strategy working very often the first time around.

You have a point there.

What's up with McCarthy's calf ?

Is he a farmer ?

With a nod to POBT (who stole the idea from Inside Football anyhow)... A power ranking of each teams likely best 22.

Note, these aren't matchups, just a ranking of importance for each team. Fair warning, I gave this about 5 minutes thought, so take it with a grain of salt. Or rip shit out of it... your choice.

Rank	Brisbane	Collingwood
1​	Andrews	N. Daicos
2​	Neale	Pendelbury
3​	Dunkley	Moore
4​	Daniher	J.Daicos
5​	C. Cameron	De Goey
6​	McInerney	Maynard
7​	Coleman	Sidebottom
8​	McCluggage	D.Cameron
9​	McKenna	Crisp
10​	Zorko	Elliott
11​	Gardiner	Murphy
12​	Hipwood	Quaynor
13​	Starcevich	Mihocek
14​	Rayner	Howe
15​	Bailey	Mitchell
16​	Lester	Cox
17​	Wilmot	McCreery
18​	Berry	Lipinski
19​	McCarthy	Hill
20​	Ah Chee	Hoskin-Elliott
21​	Fletcher	Frampton
22​	Robertson	Markov

Bias aside, I think we've got an edge on raw talent, but we all know footy isn't always that simple. Collingwood at their best play greater than the sum of their parts.

In country footy, in days gone by, the home team wore white shorts - and the visitors wore black.

Isn’t the white shorts thing largely a holdover from black and white telly?
