Preview Rd 10 2013: Brisbane Lions v Collingwood

[GoTheLions]

What a long time a week and a half of footy can be.

If both Brown and now Rockliff miss, then you have to think long and hard, about who can come in and make an impact.

In my opinion,
If Brown is out Clarke in
Move Michael up forward where he has been playing
Longer for Leuey
Karnezis for Rockliff
Green gets a full game
Mayes or Paparone Sub

If Brown is in
Clarke in for Michael
Longer for Leuey
Karnezis for Rockliff
Green full game
Mayes or Paparone sub

Makes for horrible reading with 27% of our list unavailable for Friday's game.

Injured:

Matt Maguire (145 games)
Mitch Golby (29)
Patrick Wearden (0)
Tom Rockliff (71)
Jared Polec (16)
Stefan Martin (61)
Matt Leuenberger (77)
Daniel Rich (86)
Claye Beams (15)

Suspended:

Daniel Merrett (143)
Jonathan Brown* (239)

Should Brown not get off, you could easily make the case that 8 of those are in our top 22 players.

Great opportunity for one of the younger guys.

Brown's tribunal from 5:15 AEST can be found here.

BRISBANE Lions star Jonathan Brown is contesting a one-match ban at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday evening.

Join Nathan Schmook from 5.15pm (AEST) LIVE from the Tribunal as Brown's case is heard.

Far out. If we had Rich, Leuenberger, Brown, Merrett and Rockliff we might have actually be a chance on Friday...

 

[Last of the Roys]

Banfield appeared to injure himself in the 2s on the weekend.

I thought the initial reports were he was taken off to be an emergency for the seniors. That would make sense given Golby had already been replaced.

Although he may have just been injured as you say.

We could be looking at 12 players with less than 40 games experience each in our side.

If Banfield is indeed fit then he would probably have to come into the mix, if Brown is out with him and Green at least we can maximise our forward 50 defensive pressure and get Michael/Longer to tap some balls down to ground and let the terriers loose. That's if we get it in there of course.

Brennan's quad has to be one of my darkest memories of footy and this forum.

Am I right in thinking that Maguire' injury is a quad or a calf, hence the delays in his return?

Website says shin but probably more like a "virus"

 

[brenjay]

I am super excited,



for 2014.

I'm not. No black or brown

 

[angrylion1]

have a feeling Crisp is definitely gonna play this friday.

I heard he came off in the 2s, looked a little proppy & was icing up.

But it sounds like that might have been over hyped if you believe the Reserves wrap. Good to hear he's ok.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

If Harding has any influence at all, sounds like Crisp and Harwood will be joining Billy in the ones.

 

[Jorgo]

Thanks for the preview Rendered Unsafe, especially the work that went into the highlights video!

 

[lionshine]

Just got the news. UGXREROWUIQXGHREFWODBVQSWDGI WQSUZVICBDS ODZAS NOOOOOOOOO *********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DO THE FOOTY GODS HATE US!!!!?????? ect. ect.

Honestly, Rockliff and Leuenberger?

You could argue that our 5 best players are out this week. Rich, Merrett, Leuy, Brown, and Rockliff. I hope Browny gets off!

This week we will be missing our two best key defenders- Merrett and Maguire, Our two vice-captain midfielders Rich and Rockliff, Our number 1 Ruckman- Leuy, Our champion, captain Browny (Maybe), our best small defender in Golby, our back up Ruck option in Martin, and a fringe 22 young gun in Beams.

To break it down, we will be going into this match minus our best big defender, our best small defender, our number 1 Ruck, our best midfielder and our best KPF(Maybe). On top of that we are without our back up big defender option and our back up Ruck option. This is getting ridiculous.

My changes if Brown is out would be:

In: Clarke Longer Crisp Karnezis
Out: Brown Leuy Rockliff Mayes (Rest)

If Brown stays in:

In: Clarke Longer Crisp Karnezis
Out: Michael Leuy Rockliff Mayes (Rest)

I'm surprised really, that we are contesting the Brown charge.

Frankly, it was a stupid act and I'll be amazed if they let him off.

It was softer than a pensioners turd, he most definitely should have contested it!

They aren't necessarily trying to get off, they may just be contesting particular gradings.

I think both the "intentional" and "high contact" gradings are reasonably contestable.

Still think he will probably be unsuccessful - but it's worth a punt. Freo are going to account for us either way in 2 weeks.

Wonder if we've got a QC... Dennis Denuto is more in our price range.

"It was the Lion, it was the scum, it was the vibe".

 

[Harris Specter]

Brown: "if it was a striking motion it would have been one whack". Says he wouldn't have used open hand if striking.

 

[Ironmonger]

Still think he will probably be unsuccessful - but it's worth a punt. Freo are going to account for us either way in 2 weeks.

My feeling is that if the fixtures where the other way around, if Freo at Patersons was this week and Pies at the Gabba was the following week, we wouldn't have contested it.

The language from the club gives me the impression they don't have a lot of hope.

 

[BuntonRules]

We are the Pride of Brisbane Town............

 

[Duritz]

I hear he's trying to get it downgraded to reckless, is this right? If successful would this get him off?

 

[Harris Specter]

Does Tribunal usually take this long? Been about 45 minutes already.

Browny not going down without a fight

 

[Hollow Knight]

Damnit Bad result.

Sounded like they made a reasonable case to have grading downgraded to reckless but the jury didn't buy it.

Should have worn a black and white tie instead.
