Game Day Round 21, 2018- Brisbane Lions v Collingwood.

[royboys4eva]

Looking forward to the game tonight and hope to see us loyal Melbourne fans taste a win. No reason we can't beat them. They look very fragile tonight. Just hope our younger players are not getting tired. Berry and McCluggage were superb last week hope they can back it up and not have a down game.

One of McStay - Hippy or Oscar needs to kick 3+ goals against there short back line. If we can get 8 or more goals from that trio we will be well on our way.

Good luck today. We don't tend to play particularly well at Etihad so you're a good chance to win if you play the sort of footy you've been playing lately. Hopefully it's a good game and we both get through it without any injuries.

Bucketing down right now, yet the sun is shining.

...glad we are playing under the roof.

I got swooped by a Magpie as I was running home from parkrun this morning. Hopefully that is not a bad omen.

Nothing you can do though as they are a protected species...

Yes but you will need a DeLorean with a flux capacitor

I have a Flux Capacitor but sold my DeLorean for some magic beans which never grew

I haven't felt nervous anticipation like this for a game in a long time.

Me either. I've been cagey all week!!

 

[Milpool]

I'm so excited I even tried to buy a new guernsey today, love the clash guernsey but they only have 7xl left online.

Down here watching son play for Qld tomm v Vic country so hoping rain holds off. Wearing the Lions jumper doesn't get the smirks it used to last season. Respect is coming back

Actually saw plenty of Lions supporters wearing the coulours and the usual smattering of Fitzroy scarves and jumpers. Two wins in Melbourne in the last three seasons, but we keep turning up.

 

[Dalions]

Will come down to the midfield battle tonight.
Win that, win the game!

Must put scoreboard pressure on from the word go. Must not miss easy set shots at goal.

Even if we break even in the midfield, our forward line has a pretty comprehensive advantage over their backline. If they are on, we will be hard to stop entering the 50.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Collingwood forward line also capable of kicking a winning score if De Goey is on song.

The difference being Brisbane have our best backline in and they don't.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions.

 

[Mooch]

Kinda think the Pies should get up tonight but it's certainly not a foregone conclusion. Go Lions!

 

[3KZ is Football]

Great to see the honour guard of Lions Members out on the field. Really hope the boys can repay the faith tonight.

 

[MacMum]

How come we are playing at Etihad when the MCG is Pies home ground?
