Preview Rd 21, 2014 - Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood

[carnthemlions]

"Jordan Lisle Jordy kicked a bagful (five goals). He was too strong for the opposition in the air and took some great marks. He was clever in the way he out-smarted his defender in terms of positioning, creating space for himself."

Lisle should be pressing for selection in the Seniors this week. Clearly he is the "form" tall forward on our list.

He can kick a bag in the NEAFL. We know.

A record broken that badly would make no sound at all.

I jest, i jest. If he does come in, who will take him?

Nobody, useless, won't get a touch and if he does he'll just kick it to mum.

ON THE BLOCK: Coach Justin Leppitsch said his men were bullied against the Crows. So does ‘Leppa’ give those who copped the brunt of that bullying the axe or persist for another week? Youngster Jonathan Freeman and Michael Close were quiet while Justin Clarke was subbed out at half-time after having no influence.

ON THE CUSP: Matthew Leunberger played in the NEAFL again and was among the best in the Lions’ big win over Southport. Surely he earns a recall against Collingwood? Ryan Lester and James Polkinghorne both impressed — as did rookies Zac O’Brien and Nick Hayes.

BEN BROAD’S FORECAST: The Lions had been good for a month ... before Sunday’s disappointing rout at the hands of the Crows. Perhaps this long season is catching up with the young Lions? And the hard end to the season only gets harder over the final three weeks of the season, with closing matches against Collingwood, Fremantle and Geelong. Sit back and enjoy watching the kids develop, Lions fans

Straight away, Cutler and Polks are both out for the season so they failed there. Justin Clarke had kept Taylor Walker quiet, despite his stats in the game showing no touches etc. Soon as we lost Clarke Walker began dominating. Polks impressed but he wont be recaled after being out injured.

Fantastic research there.

Seems he republished it today at 2pm and didnt bother changing ours at all. Typical.

Not really fair since this is the first chance we've have to see him in action against us. It's always going to bring out some quips, especially when the Collywobble supporter started by suggesting Hanley would play on him.

It really does beg the question.. are you Momma Karnezis?

 

[Skoob]

Leuey looked stuffed by the final quarter, and not moving great.
Lisle kicked 5 goals, but provided little else for the other 115minutes.*

*Maybe an exaggeration

I wouldn't be playing either.

I will be in the MCC reserve, I will wave to the peasants in the outer if requested.

I loved the MCC section, even if it was a bit stuffier than the rest of the MCG.

Me too.. Will be my 2nd away game outside of QLD this year

 

[John_Proctor]

I look forward to eventually doing the reverse and seeing a home game at the Gabba!! haven't made it up since the merge in '97. Will look to do a week where we play home two games in a row (or away to Gold Coast then home) and catch 2 games in 8 days with the rest on the beach. Just need to make sure I avoid school holidays!

have been to a few interstate games in Adelaide as my sister and only niece/nephew are over there so makes sense to coordinate travel times - although not this year so missed Adelaide Oval.

otherwise I've only been to AFL at Melbourne venues (including thankfully our 4 GF's in front of full houses at the G). Also just old enough to have done some of the suburban grounds including Princes Park, Western Oval, Moorabbin, Waverley, Cardinia Park, Victoria Park, (not old enough to have gone to Glenferrie, Punt Road, Arden Street, Windy Hill or the other venues like Junction Oval that finished up even earlier).

I live near Vic Park and go to watch Collingwood Reserves (Free addmitance) occasionaly. Last week was Essendon v Collingwood (with Grundy, Bellchambers, Karnezis, Luke Ball and a few other handy experienced AFL players on show).

I reckon the club should organise to play Collingwood in Fitzroy guernseys at Vic Park in one of the pre-season games next year. Would be awesome!

(edit - sorry for taking this thread away from the actual game)

"THE CHANCES of seeing Brisbane Lions ruckman Matthew Leuenberger again this season appear to be slim, with coach Justin Leppitsch hesitant to unleash him in the final three rounds."

goes on to quote leppitsch talking pros and cons of playing him.

 

[JasRulz63]

Beams in for Robbo.

Ball, Swan, Sinclair and Grundy in for Young, Dwyer, White and Armstrong for the other mob.

 

[pulpdriver]

I wonder if that means Freeman gets the rest of the year to get a feel for up forward at AFL level?

The peasants will be giving you the finger without invitation
