Round 8 - Lions v Bombers - Saturday May 10th - Gabba

Bombers should win but will the Lions with Hanley and Brown returning cause a surprise at home?

Bombers please :-X :o :'( not real confident

Bombers are a bit inconsistent so I will rate Brisbane with a chance here. Essendon should get the job done but... you never know ;)

A Brissie home game should hopefully make this a close contest, but I think the Bombers will be too good.

Bombers comfortably. They'll have a few decent ins and should roll Brissie even up at the Gabba

Who are the decent ins? i'm not expecting Belly back had a poor game in the VFL and Winderlich might be out

I was thinking Bellchambers and Hardingham

kilbluff1985 · May 08, 2014, 10:08:39 AM

yeah Hardingham played well in the VFL so could come in

Belly's grandfather died last week so i suspect that might have impacted him on the weekend

Winderlich is really important to us though hope he plays

AaronKirk · May 08, 2014, 01:28:04 PM

Belly was on Melbourne's Triple M Rush Hour on Monday and said he should play this week if he gets through training.

Wouldn't expect many other changes. Going to the game this weekend so hope the Bombers get the result.

Agree with Nige, being in Brizzy should see this being a good game with the Bombers coming out on top, this would be the general consensus i think but i also have a niggling feeling that if the Bombers head up there feeling comfortable about this game then an upset is possible.

Bombers to be too good.

Hopefully the Lions can do something like they did last year. Doubt it though :-\

I'll just leave this here...

In all seriousness though, think we're in with a real chance here. Brown, Hanley, and Goose are big ins, and will provide a lot of experience to our young team. I guess it kind of depends which Essendon turns up though.

Lions by 3

I am going with the Bombers in this one

Essendon look like they can be beaten by anyone. Brisbane have been poor though so bombers should win clean
