Game Day Round 20, 2024 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

[Miluxx]

Excited at the possibility of Hipwood starting at fullback. I'm not saying it's a sink or swim moment because I think he belongs in the forward line. But it's going to be interesting if he starts there and can own the challenge.

Does this stadium double as an airport during the week?

Some of these food prices...

 

[Mr Ripper]

Might be a “sell out” but it ain’t gonna be anywhere near a full house.

 

[Mayestro]

I’m pleased Henry gets a second game this week as last week he was on a hiding to nothing- debuting, against the best side in the competition so delivery to the forwards would be far from perfect, and really the fourth target after Joe, Eric, Charlie and possibly Rayner. This week we’re playing a mid table side, Eric is playing back so he moves up the chain a little especially when Joe is rucking, and some of his nerves should’ve settle after getting past his debut.
So hopefully we get a better indication of where he is at this week.

We need a swingman as well. And similar to Cam he might learn how to make things a bit more difficult for your opponent as a forward

 

[Grasshopper17]

Based on the fact Eric spent all his warm up with the defenders and Joe doing set shots I’d say it’ll be the eel.

Getting serious "what on earth am I doing" vibes from him at the moment

 

[Section 5]

Whatever plan they have for Smith i hope it works out okay.
Same with Hippy and or Jo.

They would only be guessing at the number of free Lions tickets actually turn up

Hippers down back, if anything this game will be interesting

All he has to do is be as good as Harris andrews, it can’t be that hard

I could probably do it. Probably.

 

[BuntonRules]

The thing is, Eric is such a competitive beast. They will not have it easy.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Crazy we're favourites among the bookies

 

[Grasshopper17]

From the scoring in the VFL it looked like there was a preferred end?

 

[Squizz89]

Lol good start Eric. Can’t get any worse I suppose (hope).

 

[haystark]

Hipwood

 

[RU_]

Bullshit 50

 

[Grasshopper17]

Almost the worst possible start

Awful contests from both Eric and Joe

 

[RU_]

It was in the marking contest, geezus christ umpire.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Great start Charlie!

 

[MSB ROYS]

First forward entry, first goal. Go Lions.

 

[Nathan Barley]

A few poor kicks until Berry

Hipwood went a bit hard at that last contest. Could've given away a free

 

[RU_]

We are going to be very quick if we can keep it on the ground with their decision to go very tall.

 

[Helicon1]

Nice to see Charlie on the bike.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Horrific disposal

 

[Grasshopper17]

Awful Lachie. Hit the boundary
