Game Day Round 3, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

[Grasshopper17]

Not sure about the basis for concluding that. Rayner did not have compelling clearance numbers last year. In fact, he was well down the list.

I would be much more inclined to play McCluggage, Bailey and Zorko in the middle than Rayner.

I think you would be better off looking at the centre-clearances-per-centre-bounce-attendance table.

Mark it down - Cam Pumba Rayner to play the third fiddle to Neale and Dunks and absolutely towel the Pies up.

[Gadzorks]

My call - the stress of potential bottom of the table is real.

This will be a scrappy, error filled, fumbling low scoring close game.

My heart rate will top out at 180, blood pressure 150/90.

Haha.

He's better than Neale and Dunks isn't he ?

Never undersell the champ.

Good look about it if they all play well.

 

[Elixuh]

I’m riding solo tonight but scanned all my tickets to help get us a sellout. Some might call me a hero. I’d tend to agree.

 

[martinson]

I'm starting to feel a bit cocky about tonight.

It's just an emotion and an intuitive feeling.

I don't think we're going to give it up so easily after 5 years of effort.

Let's meet for a beer. Your shout.

BRAB is also expecting a drink, but as he's a Gold Coaster he only drinks vodka redbull

His game in the corresponding fixture last year was good. Took control early with some big marks and goals. Hopefully see the same tonight.

Let me guess, top of gate 2 stairs?

 

[Section 5]

Oscar had a really hard time against Cameron and Cox in the GF. Daniher had just 4 HO.
I think that is the main reason they have gone with Fort for this game.
If he wants to stay there, he has to have a good impact on the game.

I hope Neal is close to 95% fit going into tonights encounter and Payne comes in with the right mindset.
Dev Robertson needs to show he is best 22 not just someone that scrapes into the side.
Lohmann if not sub is in the same boat as Robertson.
If Berry actually plays wing and has another below average game, he is on the chopping block also.
I am confident if Berry plays wing he will play well.

Rayner played possibly his best game for the Lions with 17 disposals and kicking 4G.1B in this round last year.
Hopefully he repeats that effort tonight.

It will take an overall team effort for the vast majority of the game to get the 4 points tonight.
I am hoping for a win and any margin will do.

Spot on! While we're there, maybe we can ask that Essendon poster who frequents here to meet us....

 

[alscotoz2]

HUGE game. See what's happening at half time. First quarter has been no guide so far

 

[Nathan Barley]

Lohmann sub

Strange. But at least it isn’t Fort

Had to be Kai when Fort was named.

Charlie’s knee is pretty heavily strapped. Hopefully doesn’t hamper him to much.

 

[Squizz89]

In case there was any doubt, definitely the season for Doedee.

 

[Maboo]

Charlie looks to be limping, he has his knee strapped

I like it.

Playing mind games with the Pies already.

Looks cooked. Gee we hope it’s not as bad as it looks.

 

[lionshine]

Zorks in the pre game “defenders” meeting.

Zorks in the pre game “defenders” meeting.

Hopefully they play him in defense and he excels.
