Thread: Round 15 - Brisbane

    Round 15 - Brisbane

    We play a twilight match at the SCG this week against Brisbane, who've been performing like a yo-yo all season.

    They sit with a group of five teams on six wins and seven losses. Two of those wins were against the Demons, and their other wins were against the Suns, Giants, Bulldogs - and West Coast!

    We seem in pretty good touch at the moment, so this should be another chance to build up a bit of percentage before the start of a very tough run home.

    Swans by 55.

    I'm really nervous about this game. These are exactly the games we've blown in the past. It will be a good test of the steel in this group of players if they go in hard and quell the Lions early. We weren't very convincing in the first half against GWS. If we think the Lions will be an easy win then we may be in for a surprise - the Swans are the scalp the Lions need to prove they have improved and West Coast wasn't a fluke. Likewise, if we lose, we'll probably be out of the Top 4 at the end of the weekend - with the Eagles at Subi the following week!

    It's a long way down from the top! Even I got a bit worried about the GWS game for some reason (irrational, I know). Half of me was glad it wasn't a heart stopper, but another part of me had dozed off by 3/4 time too! In never pleased haha but yes hopefully it'll be a close exhilarating match! Last weeks match put some of my friends off football for a couple of weeks due to the lack of spectacle

    I think maybe the effort of gWS has been underestimated. They have manged in a number of games to stick close to top teams up to half time and we were only 5 goals or so up at half time. I agree the Lions will be stiffer opposition over 4 qtr's, but will play a slightly different style, allowing for a faster more free flowing game style. With Mummy pretty much up to speed, maybe this game gets him to close to 100%, and Goodes building momentum and fitness we should be too good for Brissie, even with their improved form, as far as west coast goes, lets hope it rains

    Clearly last week against GWS we were still coming off the highs of beating essendon and the cats in close, tough games. It would of been hard for the group to motivate themselves for the game but to come away with a 94 point win was quite surprising after how we played in the first half. On to this week and I think it is a danger game but id be much more concerned if it was at the gabba. I think we'll be too strong for them and win by 35 points.

    Even though Brisbane easily accounted for a depleted Melbourne side last Sunday we are a class above them and will win by + 10 goals

    I expect a win but Lions will make us work for it. They have some handy players but our midfield will eventually get on top. Swans by 19.

    Does anyone know if General Admission tix are still available for this game. I'm getting mixed messages where I'm looking?

    Clearly a better side then the Lions and almost unstoppable at the SCG this year. Will be an absolute mauling after a tight first half.
    Swans by 62 points

    P.S Can't wait to see what price they offer up against WC next week

    We will win by percentage.
    Again.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Brisbane are a chance for the top eight and they knocked off West Coast a month ago. There'll probably be just three or four goals in it.

    Looks like GA is sold out again.
