Game Day Round 24, 2023: Brisbane v St.Kilda

[Dr Spaceman]

If there's not a blowout, based on scores against, we could end up the best defensive team in the AFL this season.

I knew Ross the Boss was good, but his game plan is really hard for opposition teams to score against.

Always been a strength of RTB coached teams but now…

I'd also be happy with a close loss. If we get completely blown out I wonder what it will do to our mentally fragile group

Yeah agreed, we're very affected by momentum so we need a strong performance here for the boys to keep their self belief.

Think we'll see Steele have the responsibility of nullifying him. Gonna be some interesting matchups down back too. Their fwd line is serioulsy dangerous. Personally I'm more worried about Cameron/Bailey than Daniher/Hipwood. Must continue to create a contest and challenge their forwards the other way with speed, they won't like that!

Our last month of footy has been better full field defence. If we can get a fast start and play 4 quarters we are in with a decent chance. They tend to be quite a confidence side like us.

 

[Cairnsman]

Need to stick with them till second half then we could have a great chance

Lions at 1.17

Us at 4.85

Do you work for the bookies by chance?

Have been practicing drawing circles on the shower screen lately, and this morning I just couldn’t miss.
Perfectly connected circles every time.
Could be something in that

If Brisbane and Port win, then Melbourne have nothing to play for. They will know their fate before the start of the game.

It's hard to see Sydney losing in that scenario.

Whilst that makes some sense, you want to hit the finals in top form.

Going in off a loss and then a bye is not that desirable.

They’ve picked a strong team. Let’s hope they perform like a top 4 side.

Did you use your finger?

Yeah, we need to show we can match it with them win or lose

100%

Regardless of the other results I suspect the Dees will completely blow the Swans away. They are a far better team and will show it.

Have discovered in testing that an index finger knuckle works best for me.
Give it a try!

 

[triggering bro]

I think we win this one.
Saints, Port, Dogs, Dees and Giants to all win.

 

[George]

Interesting developments today. Naked finger painting by some of our (apparently) more trusted IQ types. What a shame.

Quietly confident a super-hyper-mega-turbo fan will declare themself correct no matter what the result is.

 

[triggering bro]

Lions last month is a bit misleading. Unconvincing home wins against the Cats and Crows. Close win against a depleted Pies who have been very ordinary the last month. And flogged by the Suns.

There's already a perfect circle to aim at in the shower.

I'm always blown away by how accurately correct a super-hyper-mega-turbo fan can be.

Well done mate. Harder you practice, luckier you'll get

Need to win to get the final at the MCG. Although I'm pretty confident about beating the Swans anywhere.

Looking forward to seeing Jack Hayes today.

Go Sainters.

When we beat the Swans at the SCG this year they were missing Mills and Parker. I'd be absolutely stunned if we beat them there in a final, we need to do everything in our power to avoid it and that means winning today.

Honestly I think we have more chance of winning at the GABBA today than beating Sydney in a final at the SCG.

Just as an aside, Sydney are massively advantaged by playing after our game and knowing what they have to do. Imagine if the roles were reversed and we knew we were already 6th?

 

[SteeleSaints]

25 degrees in Brisbane today, hopefully the players can adapt to it.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Just hope for no injuries. Win would be a nice bonus but probably going to finish 6th anyway

I think the Swans win. We may well be headed to Sydney.

Probably, yep. Biggest difference is simply their form since last time we played them. 6 in a row.
