So not much confidence there from the punters

Hard to pick a lineup, but I think Leigh was suggesting Bradshaw would be the only possible inclusion from the players that missed the intraclub.

For the Saints - Kosi is out with a quad, Riewoldt is still recovering from a hammy and Hamill a knee.

 

[Crimso]

Can't blame the punters for not having too much faith, I don't think Mathews is taking the pre-season (NAB) too seriously himself. As usual it will probably be used for some insight about individual recruits. Couldn't expect much more.

Why put it on so late?

What else is on at that night - nothing I suspect.

What else is on at that night

The Mummy

In 1923, treasure hunters inadvertently uncover the tomb of Imhotep and unleash a reign of terror. They must stop him before he wreaks his final vengeance on the world.

 

[Le KooK]

I thought Channels Seven and Ten were trying to push the AFL more - it seems not.

 

[lion_gooner]

Ahh yes, they unleash the Grimreepah!

 

[Rawhead]

Hmm

possible/definite outs:

Brown
Bradshaw
Lappin
Adcock
Roe
Hadley
J Mac

I dont like our chances TBQH

 

[Hollow Knight]

I normally couldn't care if we lose in these matches but the problem with the NAB cup is that once you lose, your remaining matches rarely, if ever, get televised.

Isn't our match on Channel 7? It is:

Channel 7 - Brisbane Lions V. Saint Kilda - 12 midnight - 2:30am (Sunday 25 Feb)
Channel 10 - Essendon V. Carlton - 10:55pm - 12:55am (Saturday 24 Feb)

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

Any possibilities it will be on Foxtel/Main Event for a live feed? If so, Lions Den show the game?

 

[Quigley]

The game is certainly on at midnight in Sydney. That makes it hard for all us old fogies.

According to Matthews the only player that didn't play in the intra club match that is likely to get a game in round 1 of the NAB is Bradshaw. For those who attended the game what is your team for Saturday?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure last year it was on the AFL website radio you can always listen to it .

Is it 6 or 8 interchange players?

Anyway, assuming Bradshaw & Adcock come up:

B: Johnson, Merrett, Copeland
HB: Adcock, Mills, Patfull
C: Stiller, Sherman, Rischitelli
HF: Harding, Charman, Notting
F: McGrath, Bradshaw, Moody
Foll: Wood, Black, Power
Int: Fixter, Allan, Leuenberger, Schmidt, Tyler, Sheldon

Three rucks TFB. Is this a revolutionary tactic that we might use in the years to come given our likely strength in the area?

More a reflection on how short on we are for talls. There are really no further available options on our senior list and only Clouston on the rookie list.

 

[Vipertooth]

The game is on T.V down here in tassie at 9:30 Im very happy, win or lose.

Enjoyment factor reduces by about 80% without the visuals. I'd rather the sleep deprivation to be honest. The biggest challenge will be avoiding the scoreline until midnight.

 

[loyallion]

Well I'm not a person who likes to wait so I guess Ill be listening to it on the net Beggars cant be choosers I guess.

We don't get many Lions game telecast here (and I seem to pick the ones when I am at the Gabba in person).

When a game is not on TV, or delayed telecast, I go into the afl.com.au site and not only do I link into the streaming audio (one of the radio stations) but I follow the red and blue dots on the site. Friends who have seen me get excited over a bunch of moving dots think I am crazy.
