Preview Rd 13, 2013 - Brisbane Lions v Geelong

[NSXadrenalin]

Geelong by 51

 

[lionshine]

Geelong have made 5 changes to their side from the last time they played. That is quite a few on top of the fact they are coming off the bye. Could aid us in not getting blown off the park in the 1st quarter. We need to play some good footy early so the boy's get their confidence up.

 

[Jorgo]

Arrived at end of training.

Moloney, Zorko present.

Harwood, Raines, Polks here.

Thanks for the info Jorgo Just a quick question. Why wouldn't Harwood be there? He is named in the senior side. Have I missed something?

When posting I couldn't remember the full lineup properly so just commented randomly on players I noticed.

Ok no worries it is just when you commented on him with Raines and Polkinghorne (Two players who are not playing) I thought I may have missed something and he was out with them.

Just realised we're going to be 16th at the end of this round unless we win.

It's only a model.

Just came on to say that.

Pretty sad alright.

 

[acuguy]

Would love to see us give Docherty a role either through the midfield or up forward. Let's see what he can do forward of centre.

Happy now?

No chance.

Our average score for is 75 ppg versus Geelong 117 ppg. Difference of 42 pts.
Our average score against is 102 ppg versus Geelong 90. Difference of 12 pts.

Add those two differences together and it makes 54 pts in Geelong's favour.

Have never used such a margin theory before but that sounds about right to me. Can only hope they are off their game after having the week off. If they are we might get within 7 goals. Maybe 8 goals.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Stuff the statistics. Lions by 13.

Where are the optimists now?

Where are the optimists now?

Right here. Lions have a good chance of winning tomorrow.

 

[Matt_BL]

I rated us as a chance against Essendon after Zorko kicked the first goal. If we start well tomorrow we are in with a chance. Sure they're 10-1 but this is the 2013 Geelong, not the 2009 side. Play hard we're with a chance .

They average a win of 27 in all games, we average a loss of 27 in all games. Says we should lose by 27.

No no, you're doing it wrong.

They've lost 1 game, we've lost 8 games. 8-1=7.

We'll win by 7. Goals.

Ahh, it's clear to me now!

Nup,we snuck above Bulldogs on percentage.

Now, lets win tomorrow to sneak above Saints

 

[Haso]

Where are the optimists now?

How is this constructive?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

How is this constructive?

Crikey Haso. If we have to be constructive late on a Saturday night after a few reds having just watched the Tiger hordes celebrate being June heroes, I'm going to struggle.

 

[Skoob]

How is this constructive?

It brings the optimists out and therefore lifts the general vibe of the thread.
My optimism lies in, if I bring the wife & offspring to the game, I can drink heavies instead of mids AND have 2 more and have someone else drive me home from the bus stop. It'll be a win, win, win.

Port beat the Swans coming off the bye, let's hope the Cats coming off the bye gives us an extra leg or maybe removes one of theirs ....
