Game Day Round 7, 2016 - Port Adelaide vs Brisbane Lions

[Bucking Beads]

The Merrett out really hurts. A tough ask for Harris Andrews to go up against Dixon.

 

[TheZork]

Well FFS, how many late outs have we have due to illness this year? Anyway at least its wet so Dixon won't be as effective

 

[Grizzly86]

Just watching the lions vs port game from last year, I miss paparone and his glorious hair coming off HB, need him back ASAP to improve both the defence and hair in the 22.

What did you put in Sauce's breakfast?

Bloody Burton.

But seriously, we seem to have a lot more late outs this year. Doesn;t look like it is gonna be raining so it is a massive out. Last time Dixon killed us because Merret was out and we had to have Gardiner on him. We can still win but defence gonna have to be really good, McStay on him with Andrews to float by??

What did you put in Sauce's breakfast?

I gave him leftovers from 2 nights ago, thought it would be ok, must've gone off

 

[Wounded Lion]

FFS, how can this happen twice now?!! You're a professional and senior player with invaluable experience for our young backline, sort yourself out during the week, it is pathetic.

 

[a mayes ing]

One thing is for certain, we always let the opposition kick a bag against us, so l expect Dixon will kick 4-5+

 

[Caiphus]

Wash your hands Sauce!

 

[a mayes ing]

Hoping it to be wet and slippery over there. Any news on what the weather is like in Adelaide?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Goddamnit.

 

[alscotoz2]

Getting nervous, l feel like we will win and that is a dangerous aspect as a lions supporter.

Not gonna bet becuase everytime l bet for the lions we lose.

a fool and his money...

 

[Ceebee]

Goddamnit.

My sentiments exactly.

Only won twice without Merrett since 2013 (I think that's from 21 games). Not promising.

That's what happens when you have kids unfortunately.

Haven't had many wins in that time as well!

 

[Milux]

I think I've just revolutionised AFL game plans.

Who would of thought.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

22 wins in that period - not a heap (from 72 games), but still we're much better with him than without.

 

[Leemas]

Saving grace is there lack of ruckmen means Charlie will have to spend some time in the middle. Bankin on those glass ankles..... If only it was at the Gabba

Sack Burton.

 

[Milux]

As long as the Scahchsta hasnt caught it ill be happy. Hoping to see some contested grabs today.

 

[Kent Brockman]

The news about Sauce sucks, but no need to get angry at him... I'm sure he's even more devastated than we are.

It's crazy what three weeks can do! I remember after round 2 or 3 people were calling for Merretts head! Don't get me wrong, it's a huge out, but if one of Mcstay, Diz, Harris or Paps can handle Dixon, this game is ours!

There are a couple of fairly loud anti-Merrett posters on here. I think the majority of us (like the coaches) see that the good far outweighs the bad.

I'm at the game on behalf of you who can't. #golions

Merrett is a big out and a frustrating one at that. Young boys in the defence need to step up big time.
