Game Day Round 8, 2016 - Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood

[ZoBlitz]

Coming from Brisbane for this very special game day thread.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Full of dread and fear.

 

[BRAB]

Right on midnight?

Brisbane have the best match threads

This game will be won or lost by the amount of Schache's on the field.

We lead with an insurmountable 1 Schache.

This game is ours.

Lions by 60.

 

[Caiphus]

Missed the other thread, but there was something about Cloke and Dagger right?

 

[a mayes ing]

the late changes tomoro shall be interesting.

Cloke could be coming in for the Pies and maybe Adams missing
Green and/or Mathieson could be coming in for someone in the Lions.

Would be good if there weren't any late changes for the Lions for once.

This game will determine what sort of day I will have at work on monday surrounded by Pies supporters..

That's no way to live, Rip.

Sorry, all the mod positions have been filled.

classic. i was thinking a dental hygienist.

 

[Milux]

Pritty pumped for this one. First game i look for all year. Lets smash them pies. Hopefully we can get a "HOT DRINKS, COLD PIES" chant going.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Hopefully this will be the game that turns around our season. Lions by 37 pts.

 

[LIONS08]

With our young side, we only seem to be showing up every second week so we couldn't be more primed for a win here! Especially considering we are at home! Come on boys let get this done!
Lions by 27!!!

 

[Nunez]

Ì don't know how I'll handle a loss to Collingwood. Lions don't fail us now!!!


Lions by 30, Schache kicks 4

 

[chopperduck]

Hoping for a good performance by our mids and some good use of the ball. Want to see about 10 goal kickers.

Ill be taking drinking money, to either celebrate or have something to cry in to.

 

[CarterS]

When was the last time we were favourites for a game? Has to be a while.

 

[Sausages]

Been in self-imposed commentary (ie, posting) exile since last week's debacle.

In Brisbane to watch a game for the first time in 5 years - going to the footy solo for the first time ever, can't wait

Miss being at home in Poona though - too many people down here lol

As for the game - well, we simply must win this, otherwise it makes a mockery of our efforts against North and the Swans. I would really like to see a procession of Lions' goals and SFA going the other way though - no close match tonight for me please

Cloke won't play.

 

[Thedeftouch]

All 3 of the Collingwood emergencies are listed in the VFL team (Cloke, Marsh, Phillips). Will be interesting if any of them miss.

For us, Green isn't listed in the reserves so he may well come in. Not sure who might be missing for us - my guess would be Robinson, which would suck because we need his energy.

I think we really should win this. Collingwood are bringing a VFL-quality backline interstate. They're also carrying some suspect players like Ben Crocker and Jesse White. You also have to wonder if their squad really wants to play for Buckley.

Meanwhile our boys should be aiming up for this game, it's one of our most winnable and except for Rockliff we are pretty much at full strength.

 

[blynd_freddie]

Full of dread and fear.

This might help clear some of it?

 

[Haso]

Collingwood's current deficiencies provide the right conditions for Hanley and Rich to fire I think.

 

[chopperduck]

And hopefully Beams. Think we can cut them up on the outside and really score heavily on them with our goal scoring mids like Hanley, Rich and Beams. Bundy, Squiz, Keays, Bell should be able to get amongst it too.

 

[LIONS08]

Axed veteran Travis Cloke is an emergency for Saturday night's match, but Buckley said the key forward would not be travelling to Queensland.
