Brisbanes 2015 draw

[GoLions]

Haha Zip. I do expect you guys to win that, but it should be a pretty good match

Giants game is last game before the bye and will be a good game but hoping we win even though at your home ground Zip. Will probably be a danger game for us especially if are of to a poor start, Just hope we are not complacent if we have had a strong win against Saints the week before. Will not be talked about but reckon there will be some hurt for the way we capitulated against GWS this year.

Thoughts on Rocky's statement that 10 wins in Leppas second year would be a pass mark after 7 wins this year,

Tend to agree with him as it may take Beams, Christo and Robbo a few matches to get into Leppas game plan. Personally I think we can end up with 12 wins and with a few upsets along the way may push for finals. Still lack that real target up front.

I think Rocky's just towing the party line and doing his bit to ease any external pressures on the club re finals. I think Robbo was was picked up to spend a bit of time as a lead up forward. I remember one game against the lions last year (2013) he spent a bit of time at full forward and really dominated the game, taking a few nice grabs too. His kicking let him down, 2.3, but his impact on the game was highlighted by 122 sc points v 89 dt points (yes, I fell for him as a break out player that year...). With the plethora of quality small and mid size mids resting in the fwd line, so long as your young talls and staker can bring the ball to ground, there is no reason it shouldn't be locked in your 50 the vast majority of times. Add in all the injured players to your new recruits, you'll have 5-6 "new" best 22 players, which should see a dramatic improvement on an already impressive finish to last year. Real chance for finals in my book.
