Game Day Round 4, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs West Coast

[Haso]

Hi, I'm Troy Maclure! You might remember be from such game day threads as "We're going to destroy Collingwood", "Surely we couldn't also lose to Richmond", and "You're reading this in my voice."

There are a few factors here that I like for us:

• Day game in dry conditions - our fumbling will be less of a factor
• Rocky is back - since last year we are 0-6 without him. His presence lifts the whole team.
• Low expectations- particularly good for our young players
• Less dead weight this week - Goose, Staker or Mayes weren't giving us anything
• West Coast's midfield is relatively soft and we would hope that Martin, Rockliff, Beams, Zorko and Redden could at least break even. West Coast's midfield has already been exposed against the Bulldogs and Dockers.
• We are coming off an 8 day break with zero travel, compared to a long plane ride from a team with one less day of rest.
• We have done pretty well against the Eagles at the Gabba recently, even without Rocky in the game last year.

I'll give you the bolded, but the others could go against us very badly, both today and moving forward

Gee ... 1:10 is early. I've barely thought about what I want for breakfast.

You want last night's left over pizza!

Lots of empty seats.

Lots of empty seats.

Sadly to be expected.
Even the staunchest supporter.is in full blown depression at the moment.

Bewick named on half forward line - hoping he is there to tag Hurn.

I thought you were going to go with "You may remember me from such self-help videos as 'Get some confidence, stupid'.

[Haso]

I'm expecting the Robbos to hurt some people.

Or get hurt.

Robbo jr looks like an extra from Mad Max with that hair.

 

[Lace Out]

Hard to get excited hope Andrews goes well

 

[pulpdriver]

I want to see the boys step up immediately to any player that targets Rocky's ribs.

 

[Bert Man]

Cmon Lions. Let's win this.

 

[jackess]

We need to bring our own coins to the games from now on

 

[patfullfankezz]

Cold.

Got a little choked up during the ANZAC ceremony.

 

[Harris Specter]

Clarke 10m behind his opponent. Sigh.

 

[jackess]

Poor from Clarke there. Needed to pressure Kennedy

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Lol already,

****ing clock counting up again

 

[jackess]

Pressure not great early but good ball movement.
