Preview Rd 6 - Carlton v Brisbane Lions

[Dan87]

Holy shit. Was that intentional on Hanley's behalf in that .gif?

Unreal

Yep. He's done it a couple of times.

 

[Dan87]

Pearce Hanley you're a star.

Let's hope he gets back out there for you boys soon.

Yeah even though we're going poorly and unlikely to win many games Hanley's skills are worth watching. Really miss watching him play this year

 

[Dizzle]

Yep. He's done it a couple of times.

That's what Steven May should have done!

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

That's what Steven May should have done!

So the tribunal exchange would be along the lines of:
"Did he have another option?"
"No, he isn't Pearce Hanley".

Yeah Leppa touched on it in his press conference this morning. Rocky has passed the test but if he is 'groggy' during and after training then might be better if he sits out. Although he did mention the 8 day break between games will be helpful in allowing Rocky to recover. So IDK if that means he'll be named and they'll fly him over with the possibility that he may not come good by Sunday and have to be a late withdrawal.

There's no way they'll keep him out. he'll be hungry for a game

Almost as hungry as Green is when he hasn't had his Subway lunch.

He will be a great leader in time - I just hope he doesn't think he has to right the ship all by himself.

Double meat extra squirt of sauce.

PROS:

We've won 3 of our last 3 games at Etihad if you take out the two games we got smashed by Norf Melbourne.
Carlton is not Norf Melbourne.
We beat Carlton last time out.
Yay!

CONS:

Carlton have won 3 of their last 3 at Etihad if you take out the game they lost to Geelong.
Carlton beat Norf Melbourne in their last encounter.
Norf Melbourne smashed us.
If you take out the last game we played, which we won, they have won the previous 5.
Boo!


Prediction: The Victory and City derby on Saturday night might well produce more goals than we'll kick on Sunday. If Rockliff plays and we keep Carlton to less than 5 goals we can win but we will need to kick more than 5 goals and I don't have an awful lot of confidence in us doing that, especially if Allen Christensen has it anywhere within 2 metres of goal. If we get within the line (26.5 I think at the moment) I'll take it as a win, at least my wallet will.

 

[maroon and blue]

We will win or be strangled in the process.

 

[blueiris]

Let's flood our back line for once and see what happens if we actually try to stop teams from scoring 7 goals in a quarter

Rumour around here is a soft soft spot for the secret, special 36" dead pig in lard with 2 cookies.
(And a diet Coke).

I like your thinking. We're coming off a win too, provided you dont count our last 7 losses

Brisbane are the reigning premiers if you take out the last 11 years

That's from their 'healthy choices' menu isn't it?

Wowsers Liam Dawson. We love blooding the kids, literally.

 

[pulpdriver]

Congrats to Dawson for his first. Hoping he and Leuie can manage to snag a couple of goals up forward.

Still on the interchange bench so he could be omitted.

 

[Monterronaldo]

luey looks to be the replacement for staker. Hoping against hope that he and Stef can Play well together.

 

[POBT]

Good news about Rocky.

Maybe but they don't usually name a newbie if they don't intend to play them. Stranger things have happened though.

 

[blueiris]

Good news about Rocky.

Do you know for sure that he's playing?
