Preview Round 22 - Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows • Saturday 12 August 2023 • 4:35 PM • The Gabba

[rye]

fantasy players are some of the most reactive sports fans in the world and will always try see something when nothing is there

sincerely doubt neale misses

 

[briztoon]

Weird that there'd be limited training on a short Perth turnaround.

I didn’t read it as the whole squad on limited training. Neale (and who ever else is sore or in the rehab group) was on a light schedule.

 

[T Rick]

you know what would make it a lot more exciting

IN: Daniel Rich
OUT: Jaxon Prior

dont think its out of the realm of possibility

Rich for a farewell game against the Saints maybe?

Tbh it's not all that uncommon during the season to manage training loads for each player differently.

(do limericks count as poems?)

Lions supporters are glum
We’re not, at this stage, number one.
What makes it much sadder,
We’re THIRD ON THE LADDER!!
Stick your sour grapes up your b*m.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Oscar and Dev for Fort and Fletcher

No Rankine or Rachele for them

 

[LIONS08]

Fletcher confirmed to be sub

 

[pulpdriver]

Not much to say really. Pretty happy with these changes. Think Fletch could use a bit of a rest and expect him to be the sub.

 

[Squizz89]

Oscar and Dev for Fort and Fletcher

No Rankine or Rachele for them

Lyons there in the emergencies for if Lachie doesn’t get up, I suppose.

[Nathan Barley]

Wonder if Dev will actually get the chance to play on ball or more likely as the 7th forward/3rd wing

 

[Sproj]

Very happy, very very happy.

 

[pulpdriver]

Who will be Starce's main opponent with no Rankine or Rachele? McAdam? Pedlar if he's up forward?

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Go Dev!

Rankine not getting up is a good result

 

[Section 5]

I thought they may have listed Fletcher as managed but being omitted is interesting.
Dev gets a full game but where he plays is the question. Wing or wing relief most likely.

 

[Milux]

No rankine helps heaps.

 

[LIONS08]

I thought they may have listed Fletcher as managed but being omitted is interesting.
Dev gets a full game but where he plays is the question. Wing or wing relief most likely.

Like a lot of players this year, the club comes out and states that they are sub straight away to avoid any confusion/media attention

If we come with the right attitude we should be winning this quite comfortably, if it happens absolutely no excuses for a loss.

 

[lionshine]

I hope Dev plays a great game and can get hold of a spot heading into finals. Kiddy to replace Prior against the Pies and this is our best team heading into finals as good as Fletcher has been thus far. Only potential change for mine would be Fletcher back in and Gunston out with Rayner to 3rd tall but can’t see that happening.

 

[Dalions]

Great to see Dev get his chance.
Hope he grabs it with both hands and runs with it for the rest of the year.

 

[McIvor]

Jaspa and Dev could also effectively be swapped for substitute duties.

My post earlier in the week- you’re welcome

 

[Dalions]

Interest is high!

 

[lionshine]

Interest is high!

Good to see! We need to be maximising profits during these years of finishing top 4 prior to the Gabba demolition to get into as strong a financial position as possible.
