Autopsy Round 22 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs GWS Giants, 1.45pm AEST Sat 10th August, Gabba

[Giant Strides]

Game day. Today the Giants face ... Trial by Lions!

Today's afl.com.au article on the game is decent, so have a read of it to warm up for the game:

A contrast in styles: Five things that will shape Lions v Giants bout

It's one of the more tantalising matches this weekend and will go a long way to deciding who makes top four

C'mon GIANTS! Remember - anyone, anywhere, anytime!

Keefe as ruck, the mids really need to step up

 

[Giant Strides]

This week, I'll be happy with a 2-point win!

 

[PaythePerryman]

I really hope Stone shows something today...

 

[BarryAglett]

My head says this is a seriously tough game and to keep expectations to a minimum.
Logic says a healthy Keeffe is better than a busted Briggs and we know that part of the game was always going to be tough.
Both coaching groups have options to throw around, if and when required.
We'll need to bring A grade pressure and hang in there.

It's definitely going to be a tough game. Brisbane are the number 1 contested ball team in the competition. We're going to have to do our best to even compete in that area.

Pressure pressure pressure

Is that right?

I think he's actually thinking of clearances rather than contested possessions. Brisbane are first and we are tenth in that stat.

And Keefe is playing for his spot this late in the season. He will be hungry

And for a contract next year, either with us or another team.

 

[taurus]

Not expecting much today. Just want a competive game and within 3 goals.

Go Giants.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

A game that will show us the character of our team. A win will almost certainly secure us a finals spot, and set us up beautifully for a top 4 spot. Brisbane are deservedly the favourites for the premiership, and with 9 consecutive wins, playing at Gabba and a chance to get their first ever minor premiership, they will be very hard to beat.

And whilst this is a team game, hoping that Jesse extends his current 2 goal lead over Curnow, and gets our club’s second ever Coleman - last time we won the Coleman, we made the Grand Final!

 

[BarryAglett]

Let's go boys!

 

[Adam Giant]

Good tackle from Harvey with a blatant holding the ball missed. Going to be a long day with the men in green.

Things not looking good in the first 10 minutes - we need to do something, anything

 

[Adam Giant]

This is a putrid start. We haven’t even taken a mark yet.

Hmmm...
We need to wake up.

Almost! If they had kicked accurately, yes all over in Q1.

We have shown in the Carlton, and just last week against Hawthorn, that we can come back when all seemed lost

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Goalless first quarter..we have been dominated completely. We are so very lucky that Brisbane has not been kicking accurately and have not put the game away - we have 3 quarters to recover

 

[JC100]

Haven’t played well but every hack kick ends up landing with one of theirs and umps giving them a ride at 6-0
