Brisbane Discussion

Unbelievable that the lions haven't won a quarter. .... I think

Spot on Oss - Have been close a number of times but our issues with not running out the quarters is hurting us bad.  So far and only after 4 rounds we have leaked 138 points in the red zones worst in the League.  So we need to fix this up to win quarters.

Sounds like a mixture of fitness and inexperience Ringo. Your kids will learn from that with more games under the belt

Will depend on the structure Leppa decides to go with. Expect him to hold this week though given the reserves were belted and both McStay and Gardiner did not shine.

Golby should be dropped. Pathetic attitude on the weekend and having a go at a team mate after he got caught holding the ball is not on

Thought I was the only one who noticed that which is why I did not post anything about it.  But agree.  Golby has outstanding talent but as you point put his attitude at times leaves a lot to be desired, A stint in the 2's may turn it around but may not happen due to what happened last year with the go home factor.

What was the scenario with the guy getting caught with the ball?

Like, if it was a giant cock up he deserves to get called on it. Nothing more frustrating than a player who thinks they can be a one man team/ overestimating their ability and getting pinged for it.

[Ringo]

Would have preferred to see Golby dropped rather than Harwood myself. 

Yes understand sometimes frustrations get to you but you have to support team mates at all times regardless of errors made.  You save that for the dressing room but am I too old fashioned.

Keen to see Gardiner and McGuane debut for the club tomorrow.

Hopefully we can put up a decent contest, and maybe just come away with a win.

[Ringo]

I will be in the Southern Stand in my members seat cheering the boys on.  The one real draw back is McInerney as one of the umpires and we have not won any free kick counts when he has been an officiating umpire for a number of years.

[strikes91]

Team is way to tall again.

[BB67th]

Damn, I really hate McInerney.

Still, it will be good to have the game on free to air for once. And especially in Brownie's 250th!

[Ringo]

Whilst we are tall Strikes just remember there is no resting Ruckman as Lisle will ruck while West is off the field. Also Lester and Bewick on the bench will help though.  Would like to see Taylor get more involved in that small forward role though as he should be at the feet of the talls more.
Leppa has also encouraged them to play attacking football tomorrow night so should be great to see.

What's the weather meant to be like up in Brisbane?

Will be interesting to see how Guan goes against his former club.

[Ringo]

It is fine and clear at the moment Toga and predicted to be fine any maybe a little cool for Brisbane at game time around 20 degrees.  Only real issue at the Gabba this time of the year is the dew that is on the ground which makes the ball a little greasy.
Guan was knocking the door down as he had kicked 9 goals in reserves in the last 2 weeks. From my observation he is a strong overhead mark but those real skinny legs worry me.

[Toga]

Sounds like great footy conditions!

Yeah Guan always showed bits and pieces but never consistently. Hopefully he can do something good for you guys... Maybe not this week though ;)

[strikes91]

forecasted dew point is pretty low so it shouldn't be too bad
