Bundy nailing one from 50 during the warmup. No effort.

As usual for an away game, I have a huge knot in the guts and are more hopeful than confident

This usually bodes well.

I hope

So probably not playing down back like most assumed?

Presuming Robbo takes the Bailey role, and Bundy the Basti role.

Let's hope so

Pumped for another Lions game in Melb! Looking forward to catching up with some of the old Fitzroy supporters that I don’t get to see too often.
My main concern is the bombers pace in their forward line. We seem a bit slow down there without Bails, so hopefully Bundy and NRobbo can help there.
A win by any margin would be a great result imo. Tipping our boys to get up by 13 and hoping McStay can bag 3+ goals.

Sitting here at the G. Can't wait for this game. Will be glued to it except at 5 past 3 when Winx runs

 

[Toffee Lion]

More nervous today than the first 3 games, I knew we could beat North and Port at home was always a possibility.

But today, if we win, 4-0 and just 1 win shy from our tally of last season. Have the Bombers found form again after winning last week? Will we slow down and have an off-day? We don't do so well on the MCG. If we win, can we go to 5-0 against the Pies next week?

So many questions..but it feels like great knowing that we CAN win, especially after the last few years dreading each game knowing a belting was on the cards.

Come on boys!

At the ground, Punt Road end and there are plenty of Bombers supporters here. Looking forward to quietening them down early. Boys looked sharp in the warm up when they were at this end. I’m in the Essendon Members reserved seating area with young Quinlan and we are literally the only Lions supporters in Bay 57.

As the coach said indirectly....NRobbo on Stringer

 

[KissKiss]

I do have to say our Melbourne banner is starting to look old and faded. Might be time for a new one

In the Ponsford bar n can see 1 bomber

Hopefully Robertson has a breakout game today. Been unlucky not to be selected in the squad these past few weeks. Goodluck lions and I'm hoping for a good game

 

[luthor]

OK.

On with the tellie.

Stay calm......deep breaths........

 

[scoman]

I still feel like Zorko hasn’t quite yet got his season going while Lachie Neale steals the show.

Hoping today is the day Zork puts the foot down and takes us to a new level.

Was thinking the same thing this morning. Would love one of his signature first quarter blitzes with him kicking three early goals.

Up in Q 49 Lions look resplendent in bright sunshine decent crowd with lots coming in

 

[Harris Specter]

First 10 minutes will tell us how the game goes I feel. We need to dictate the game.

Gotta put up with riccuitos grunting

Hopefully we don't try to play too quickly. They'll hurt us on the turnover with their Quicks

Bundy with the mids and robbo with the backs warm up group

Apparently not worth a main board game day thread?
