Collingwood? Richmond? WC? GWS they did last year I remember but other than that no notable road wins. Lions had a dream draw last year and have had a dream draw so far this year too
I conceded already that the Lions are yet to beat Richmond. As for Collingwood, the Lions would have loved nothing more than to face them next weekend as originally scheduled, and would have steam rolled them. As for WC, they're 15th on the ladder..

Having an Asterix is just BS talk if anything this will be the hardest season to win the premiership than ever before everyone playing eachother once makes it a liget season I'd be more than happy for the Lions to win it this year

It will be whichever team can adapt quickly & make the most of what is on offer.
Also be a massive advantage spending large amounts of time in a hub that is also their home.
Bit like Collingwood or Richmond on any normal year.
Go brisbane

Brisbane. A heap of home games due to teams playing in QLD, three genuine away games vs NSW teams and Hawks in Melbourne round 1, with the remainder of 'away' games played in neutral territory (Vic teams in NSW).

The only reason Brisbane did well last year is because of an extremely soft draw, which is the case this year also.
See how you go when you leave Queensland for once.

Sure they would. Brisbane have played WC 2 years in a row at home, last year they got Richmond away in last round then home in finals and lost both times, Collingwood they got at home last year as well. Brisbane will probably be in the NSW hub given they've played the WA and SA teams so again more luck for them in terms of draw.
**** this season has really gone full circle. Vic club supporters using the phrase " see what happens when you play away from home for once".

So.. what, you reckon the pies would beat the Lions if they played next week?

We absolutely are. We always start slow. No one will want to play us when the real stuff starts.
Last time i looked you were 11th? Struggled to put Melbourne (who are crap) away.

Too much change in performance week on week, plus injuries look like they might play an even bigger role than normal.
That said, I like Port and a late-surging WC - particularly if the GF ends up being at Optus or AO, which looks more likely than not at this stage.

Always chuckle when supporters complain about a soft draw. You have to play each team once regardless this season, and until recently, most of the stadiums were empty anyway. How is the Lions fault that the QLD government has things under control unlike Victoria? If the shoe were on the other foot and all teams were relocated to Victoria, the onus would have been "It's 2020, what can we do?"
Weren't West Coast pre-season favourites to win the flag after the acquisition of Tim Kelly?

We smashed Brisbane at home last year.
We should take this one off everyone else to spare them the anguish of dealing with trolls. If any fanbase is well conditioned to handle this *, it's us.
We'll be getting even with you this year son, don't you worry about that!
Yep Brisbane are going well. Looking forward to that match.
Record at the MCG isn't great, but they may not have to play there if things continue the way they are.
