Preview Round 2 2018, Brisbane Lions vs Melbourne

[Forward We Go]

The good oil is that there will be 3 changes for this week. 1 is no surprise but the other 2 will be.

You going to keep us in suspense, or spill the beans?

I've no idea, but bring in the kids. Allison, Payne & Bailey.

I will be stunned if they drop Rich and Robinson.

 

[Dylan12]

Bewick as an inclusion.

Cutler, Allison and Bailey is who I'm thinking. Assuming someone comes out for Bailey, i would say Bell but I'm not so sure his game was as drop-worthy as first thought.

Do you think they will do the weekly update each week?

Usually something like a weekly update would get done about once a month, not sure what the plan is with ours though.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Where do you park? Not sure where to park, because I usually just get dropped off and picked up.

Rosebud is in Victoria. I have a carpark in the city right near Etihad stadium.

 

[Harris Specter]

Wow, did not pick this.

IN: Bewick, Cox, Mathieson

OUT: Rich; Robinson and Bell

What does this mean for Cutler?

 

[The Bear]

Bell out...for all those electrical workers out there.

 

[SonnyBoy1]

Bewick in, guess we can put this down as a 10 goal plus loss

 

[Scubaveg]

I see Cox has been named...jus say’n

What a terrible attitude to have as a supporter.

 

[KissKiss]

I'd say queue the melts but honestly I agree with them.

 

[Harris Specter]

Mathieson and Christensen in the forward line getting us high frees. Yes please

He is an emergency though.

Cutler will get his chance. We will win with this line up. Well selected. Fagan has maintained balance by dropping a confirmed whipping boy (Bell) and including another (Bewick). I actually think this is a masterstroke. Bewick is going to make the difference this week.

Melbourne by 98.

 

[The Bear]

Gotta give em a go like we did to Freeman last year.

 

[snooplions]

Mathieson and Christensen in the forward line getting us high frees. Yes please

Dees fans are probably still yelling about Mathieson's debut game so it will be delicious if they are both at it.

 

[iBeng]

Eh, at least they will get a round around and show what theye got.

Very very glad he is in. Still work in progress. But to Cox ,the club ,I and many other lions fans have faith in you. SHOW US WHAT YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL IS . I know you have it.

Bewick is frustratingly inconsistent but has shown he can play at AFL level. I expect him to have a really good game on the weekend as he is OOC and he'll treat every senior game as his last chance to prove to the coaches he deserves another shot. Unlikely he'll maintain any form on a consistent basis though although I'd love to see it. Happy the Beast is back, I'd rather get games into him than Bell. Cedric Cox a surprise addition but has obviously performed well in the pre season games. The coaches seem really keen to pump games into him so I'd imagine he is rated fairly highly internally probably due to his strength's being his foot skills and pace which suit Fagan's game style nicely.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Would appear Tom is not really a whipping boy as the coaching staff seem to have same observations as "us" glass half empty, over the top critics!!!

 

[iBeng]

Id prefer Walker named FF and McStay named FB, but guess we'll see Saturday...

Can't understand this one either.
