Preview Preview- Round 1 2018: SAINT Kilda vs Brisbane

[Dalions]

Even if we do lose, l hope that it doesnt blow out to a 50 point deficit

It will not!

 

[bird_man]

Looking forward to the game. I think you guys are really starting build a strong list and terrific culture. Only a matter of time before we see you climb the ladder now. Hopefully you won’t start that climb until round 2 though.

Fantastic that the 1st preview is up and running. I think we are going to surprise a few teams early with youth, confidence and enthusiasm. Definitely one we can target for a win away. If we show what we been training to do it should be quite entertaining first up.
Here's to early confidence and an end to the doom, gloom and smashings.
Sic em lads...

OMG FOOTY IS BACK AND WE ARE ABSOLUTE DEAD SET CERTS THIS WEEK!

Expect the Lions to hit the ground running and fully unleash a ‘Football Blitzkrieg’ on the hapless Saints.





Lions by 63 Points.

I am feeling quite up tempo about this one.

Sight for sore eyes Brab, youve set the bar high for previews.
I think if we can be close at the end we will win, but will we be there?
Will they have a player to step up when the going gets tough, Riewoldt he was the everywhere man, saved their bacon so many times.
So exited for this game and the girls .
And Hodge is playing for us.
Go lions, come on Saturday.

Brisbane Lions made of iron.

Mikey would like to know Dodongos thoughts on round 1 and the womens GF

Jack is a really good player and will do a lot of damage to our team. You all know who I'm referring to. If we can stop Jack we can win the game, so I hope we stop Jack.

Good joke. Six Jacks on their list... though Jack Steven is listed as a test. I'm confident we can stop the other 5.

We'll just send Robbo to tag... they won't be able to do jack.

Defence has to hold firm. With Riewoldt gone and not the focus "kick it to me" the Saints forwards will all get more marking opportunities I50.

Converting was achiiles heel last year (55%). If it can be 65% win more games of football.

Plenty playing for their football lives this year so experiences ones (Robbo and Christensen) should step up.

Converting wasn't the issue, lack of inside 50s was.

I'll fist myself if we somehow win this

Would never have guessed!!!!

As long as we win either the mens or wonans I'll be happy. Win both I'll be over the moon

 

[Milux]

What would you people prefer a lionsw grand final win or mens rd 1 win. Cant choose both.

For me a mens rd1 win will be huge.

Can't beat a premiership for mine.

 

[dlanod]

I'd take the GF win.

The men have 21 other chances to win games that matter the same.

The women don't.

 

[Dalions]

As long as the Men are close.
Then I would take the Womens GF win.
The women are bound to lose 2, 3 or maybe even 4 of their best players for next year so this could be their chance.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

I'd take the GF win.

The men have 21 other chances to win games that matter the same.

The women don't.

I sort of agree but with the caveat that a bad first up loss could have more lasting consequences for such a young side. No one wants an honourable loss but I would take it if the girls win.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

This will be the first time in I don't know how long that I have attended our opening game of the season. Pretty excited/nervous. Saints will have huge numbers there. Interesting to see what support we have. Generally a small but loud group of diehards.

No announcement yet on a debut this week?
Maybe no Rayner?

3 of the other clubs have announced debuts so far so still plenty of time for us to send out the good media
