Preview OFFICIAL PREVIEW AFL ROUND 17 - Brisbane Lions v Essendon Sunday July 10th 1.20pm @ the GABBA

[Nunez]

Fages did a Sauce Merrett and infected half the team

Quality throwback my friend.

 

[StevoJenkins]

Yeah, we’re ****ed.

Will be a miracle to win this one. Wouldn’t be a problem if the Bombers weren’t in form and we didn’t lose two in the middle.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kind of exciting

Hopefully one or 2 of the kids step up

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Yeah, we’re *ed.

Will be a miracle to win this one. Wouldn’t be a problem if the Bombers weren’t in form and we didn’t lose two in the middle.

We’ll be fine, our good friend Nunez travelled to the future and told us that we would win by 30-50 points so if he knows things that we don’t know 100% off, I think we wil just be A-okay on Sunday

 

[BuntonRules]

Kiddy is the biggest loss.

Time to stand up, boys.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Kiddy is the biggest loss.

Time to stand up, boys.

Him, Zorko and Rich out the same week is a huge problem

 

[LIONS08]

Yeah, we’re *ed.

Have you watched much dons footy this year?? They are not impressive at all… take away 4 people from the bench and it’s still a super solid team. The 18 starters would be picked most weeks… we should still claim this comfortably! I actually expect the energy to be up with these changes!

PLAYERS FROM OUR VICTORIOUS RD 16 TEAM WHO ARE PLAYING IN RD 17.

Cameron, Rayner, Daniher, Neale, Hipwood, Lyons, Bailey, McInerney, McCluggage, McCarthy, Andrews, Payne, Answerth, Adams, Starcevich and Tunstill. Plenty of class in this lot.

 

[Mr Ripper]

More concerned about the soft tissue pandemic tbh.

I think soothsayer Nunez got Covid and sent back faulty messages.

Lions by 18.

Bit disappointed Robinson has been named to play. Love the guy but would have much rather seen Cockatoo, Madden or even Sharp play over him.

With Rich and Coleman out I'd suggest it is likely Carter Michael makes his debut which is awesome for him!

Bit surprised Lester has been named on the field as well. Not exactly a like for like with anyone except potentially to play McStay's 3rd tall role but that would mean Daniher or Hipwood ruck and surely we'd prefer to play Fort so he can back up Oscar and keep Daniher/Hippy forward?

Very disappointing Prior and Berry are injured with both in such great form, however, I'd love for Madden to get a run in their place and see what he can do on the wing.

Can only assume Lester is in for leadership for the most part as this team sheet is so disrupted.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Lordy we look slow on paper. Think Madden has to play

 

[Elixuh]

Lordy we look slow on paper. Think Madden has to play

Slow and steady wins the race

 

[ZoBlitz]

Worth noting about the Bombers great form that it took the Swans kicking horrifically for goal for them to get over the line last week and they lost to the Eagles the week before.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Slow and steady wins the race

Works for Geelong alright

 

[Sherrinator]

So who’s designated kicker this week

 

[3KZ is Football]

Can only assume Lester is in for leadership for the most part as this team sheet is so disrupted.

and his silky skills and his high football IQ and my hunger strike has paid off.

 

[McIvor]

When did Jerry and Prior get injured - last week against Dogs or at training - also do we know the severity of there injuries particulalry Jerry whose been enormous for us this year?

 

[Hollow Knight]

So who’s designated kicker this week

Carter Michael.

 

[LIONS08]

Sneaky suspicion that the injuries might be underlying and they are also covid related.

 

[BangyBangy]

More concerned about the soft tissue pandemic tbh.

To be fair, a couple of those are old timers at least they're not calf strains.

 

[irish]

Well we are in strife , not really what we planned. Will need a lot to go our way

 

[Jivlain]

Yeah, we’re *ed.

Will be a miracle to win this one. Wouldn’t be a problem if the Bombers weren’t in form and we didn’t lose two in the middle.

Essendon played last week so it'll be Essington this week, it's fine. Just remember that uncles are inherently suspect and probably up to no good

 

[LIONS08]

Confirmed Wilmot also in health and safety protocols. Others also in it. Hopefully we get a confirmed list tomorrow!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Don't realize how much I appreciate not playing Thursdays until we don't play Thursday
