Preview NAB Cup Rd 3 - Collingwood v Brisbane Lions

[kharis]

From my reading this week on AFL and HUN etc it seems this game doesn't exist and the pies and the blues are already in the final... that is how much we rate in VFL land
So the decision re the venue for the final already been selected doesn't surprise me... after all the outcome of Saturday's game is already set in stone.
I hope our boys just go out and flog the pies and stick it up them all
No doubt the umpires have their orders ... but that is another story...

They can't be any worse than the umpires at the Gabba. Never seen a team other than ours with a home ground bias that goes against the home team.

Must be a little bit of money being put on the Lions. Odds have come in a bit in the last few hours.

Yup. I'm kicking myself for not getting on it earlier.

A beautiful, but hot 34deg afternoon in Melb for the boys training run.

Looks like the dryest paddock we would have trained on recently.

I was worried we'd have to start calling ourselves Water Polo players with the ovals in Brisbane.

bit cool tho

No disrespect to any Bronocos fans, but I really hope they lose tonight at Suncorp. And have a 'rebuild' year.

This will get the Queensland media to focus on the Lions more and the rugby teams less.

I love your optimism, Rubix.

Both Beams have shaved heads now, should be a funny thing to watch.

Kind of want to see Claye tackle and really drive his brother into the grass, just a friendly reminder that hes in the AFL to.

Man. this afternoon on 612 they had like 2 hours of Broncos fanboy action on the drive show. Does the ABC have to give equal time to codes the same way it does political parties?

It would want to for our first home game of the season... massive amount of interviews with fans/cheer squad, former players, physio's, administrators, just nothing but talk about 'the Broncs' for 2 hours. I kept switch back hoping for a change of topic only to be disappointed every time.

Yeah, don't recall them celebrating 25 years of the Brisbane Bears/Lions last year.

How bout that maroon, hey? So unique!

Broncos have a brilliant marketing team from what I hear. All over this type of stuff.

 

[Skoob]

Just taking it one week at a time.

If we win tomorrow night, then I might start complaining about the injustice of it all.

Whether we make the GF or not is irrelevant.
The AFL's decision to schedule the game with total disregard for who may or may not make it is spitting in the face of our club and team.

It has always been the same, the Broncos Adoration Club becomes quite sickening.

It will never change though.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Even if the Broncos had a horror season, they'd still get massive publicity about having a horror season.

Can't win.

Getting upset about it on Big footy is not going to make a scrap of difference.

Will always be a Victorian orientated league.

Not a thing we can do about it,except play good footy.

That will most likely be ignored too.

True but BF is a forum to voice opinions including anger and disgust

2 hours on the plane there and back isn't the end of the world if we make the preseason gf! Winning culture is vital. We need to win! We need to have a number of in form footballers missing selection come rd 1. This would indicate that we have depth. All i know is that I am looking forward to plenty of lions games with the old coopers sparkling in the fridge but this year celebrating plenty of wins. 15 to be exact! Keep a lid on it! McGrath for Coleman!

Please tell me you received a pallet of it for free 3rd worst ranked beer in Australia (behind XXXX Gold and VB).

Surely a James Squire or Little Creatures drop would suffice or a Fat Yak if you get it up there
