Preview Semi Final v Bulldogs @ The Gabba, Saturday 4th September 2021, 7.20pm.

[LIONS08]

Daly was in SEN earlier this afternoon. Mentioned we were trying a few things at training this afternoon. I wouldn’t be surprised if we swing a defender forward and Payne comes in. Along with Lester and Diz may be the omission.
My thoughts are
Out: Mcstay, Prior, Diz
In: Payne, Ah Chee, Lester.

McStay looks alright ? Can we just let him stand on the goal square may be?

Yeah I posted something similar a little earlier today, only other out might be Fullerton for Ballenden (only because Zork and Charlie mentioned him)
Interested the below link from Whiting on AFL.com. Whiting has suggested Adams forward but I reckon Lester might go forward.

Wish we were playing GWS. Don't think they can win a final without Toby - he's a big game player. As well as a douchebag.

They beat Collingwood without him back in 2019 to make the GF... (suspended due to contact to Neale's eye area)

McStay looks alright ? Can we just let him stand on the goal square may be?

Per rule, no.

If he just had the smashed face he'd be right.

I usually don’t mind Daisy’s commentary but this is a genuine nuffy take.

Yeah the whole article proves they know very little of our list & structure to begin with. Found it funny that they said we were never in the game and never got close to Melbourne on the scoreboard on the weekend even though we got the margin back to 3 goals in the last quarter.

Daisy is a Demon after all. You see what you want to see.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Not surprised Lloyd & Ross dont rate us in this one. Both tipped the Bulldogs to win.

 

[JoeDanihersMoustache]

I really hope Ballenden and Mathieson aren’t in the team this weekend.

Happy to see Robertson back in the team.

Ah Chee not fit or? Puzzling exclusion.

Fages was a bit cagey on his fitness in the presser. Must not have gotten the tick in the end.

Listed in emergency though. Weird.

I'm so tired of our predictable conservatism with the selections every week. If Lester and Ah Chee are fit (which they are, because they're emergencies), they come in. Gardiner and Fullarton don't deserve a spot based on both of their last 3 weeks. Adams or another key should be the one to move forward, not Coleman.

 

[M Malice]

Yep, Ah Chee not selected but named as an emergency is , would take him in the side in a heartbeat over Birch, Nakia, Fullarton and maybe even Darcy the way he has been playing.

C'mon, this is just a mock view.
Fullarton is at CHF, no way we leave him as second tall forward.

 

[BangyBangy]

Birchall still in Jason

Where they are named means virtually nothing, Fullarton was named in the back 6 last week.

 

[irish]

Too many half fit players , fullerton ? Really !

 

[martinson]

I'm not doing cartwheels over selection depending on how fit the 3 in the backline who hobbled around last week are.

Yeah I'm pretty shocked with that
