Game Day Round 4, 2019 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

[FFB1]

For the first time in about 10 years I’m not backing us at the plus line hoping that we get within it to make the day semi-worthwhile.

I’m backing us to win to make the day super-worthwhile.

Hard to get a take on Essendon after their win last week then Melbourne come out and beat Sydney, but the Swans are playing average footy at present.

Let’s hope we don’t play like we did for 90% of the game last week.

Really worried about this one today, expecting us to have an off day coming up soon, hopefully the ugly win last weekend was the off day.

The Bombers have a few match winners up front that can worry us in Stringer, Fantasia and McDonald-Tipungwuti, also need to keep the run of Saad and McKenna off half back in check. Where I think we can get them is in the center bounce clearances.

Lions by 24. Newspapers to write - "Lions The Real Deal". The Gabba on Easter Thursday against the Pies and the crowd is 32,000.

Back page of the Age newspaper in Melbourne no less:

I think we already had our off week. At least 10 players didnt perform well last week. 2 aren't there today and the other 8 would of been told they need to lift. Fages and hodge wont let it happen to easily. Robbo and christo will be going hell for leather trying to cement their spot. Is it a dry deck? If we can hit hippy and mcstay on the lead then they won't be able to use their pace.

I hope you're right Milux and I'm wrong.

Forecast says fine for today in Melbourne.

Out and about this morning mowing some yards for my clients (second job) and I have seen 2 families in different suburbs kitted out in lions gear. How good is this.

Quite a few on the flight down.

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.

I feel like Zorks has been huge defensively but because of this his offensive game hasn't reached the heights of previous seasons. Would certainly make for fun viewing if he can have a balanced offensive/defensive game today.

Ely Smith is an absolute unit. I like TBerry, like an undersized raging bull. With a bit more muscle he’ll be worth throwing a debut at.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

What a pity we don't have Matthews and Sheedy having a go at each other any more.

I reckon they used to get another five thousand through the gate for Brissie Essendon matches.
