Where and when: Gabba, 7:50pm (AEST)
Last time they met: W1 Finals 2020: Brisbane 10.9 (69) DEF Richmond 8.6 (54) at The Gabba.
The Brisbane machine got things started in the midfield, where Hugh McCluggage (20 disposals) put in a brilliant game on the wing, Jarryd Lyons (27) took on the star-studded Richmond brigade and was the best clearance player on the ground and Jarrod Berry didn’t take a backward step. Daniel Rich, too, was terrific off half-back with 20 touches. But they were also well served by a (largely) accurate forward line sparked by Cameron’s brilliance, with the Lions star booting three pivotal goals.
Match Preview: Even without the services of the reigning Brownlow Medallist, the Lions are flying right now and sit 4th on the ladder. Richmond on the other hand have been patchy dropping games to teams they shouldn’t be. Coach Hardwick would say this is exactly where he wants his team to be at this time of year but is it though? (Chris Hemsworth squint)

Took Tiges at +42.5, hopefully they don’t get blown out of the water. If dusty can kick 4 tigers win
Warner -> dusty ?
Powell -> Steele ?
Good trades?
Are they in this game ?
Happy Friday everyone.
This weeks starting with a bang, with three guns and a rookie in this one.
Short… is an OG.
Zorko…. came in for Dunkley and has been great.
Dusty…is on debut.
RCD… was great for me last week. lets hope he can back it up.
Fire up boys, your mate Brayshaw is out, I need you all to lift !
Evening, all.
Nice way to kick off your weekend, FT.
Looks like I don’t have a loop past Saturday afternoon, gotta take a punt on someone tonight. Tossing up between Dusty and Short.
Who to give vc
Dusty
Zorko
OK all – at a loss for the best trade in option. I’m looking at Lyons, Guthrie and Duncan.
All averaging about the same. All consistent. Lyons has the lowest BE and the highest value.
Lyons though has the R13 bye and I already have three premo mids with that Bye.
I think that maybe has answered my own question … the Cats players are the better option aren’t they? If so which CAT is the better option?
Thoughts?
Hey Macca tricky choice you got there. I know you have 3 premo mids r 13 but Lyons is too good IMO. I’d go Lyons but if I had to pick between 2 cats I’d go Guthrie
Thanks Tom …
Yep, agree with Tom.
thanks all for your comments … I did pull the trigger on Lyons … and this start thus far is not filling me with confidence!!
The other factor I should have thought of is Guthrie has the Suns this week!! This could hurt …
Good to hear you backed him Macca! He’s on 80 with 10 to go in the 3rd. Is a great pod and his consistency causes very little stress for owners. Trust me you’ll love him!
Macca,
I have both Lyons vc and Guthrie c in SCTTL this week if that helps…..
You should be afraid of r13 given your oppt.
yes, there is definitely that!!
VC thoughts please SCT,
Tu Zorko
Td Walsh
System crashed, don’t bother people……I think it was telling me to leave it alone
Ps Zorko already picked
was hoping lynch would have his kicking boats on :S
Is that why he is all at sea?
Daniher in a great role as far as key FWDs go. Playing as that second ruck and really developing some craft and tap work.
Used to like it when the bombers gave him a run there. got him more into the game
McCluggage BOG by miles. Lions stole the draft getting him at pick 3.
Zorko needs the resin at half time. So many fumbles!
Can’t believe he hasn’t gotten more love to be honest. complete jet.
CT has him!
Lol. I sure do have him. I traded Dunkley for him. Goes ok.
Most had him ranked at 1 in that draft. GWS traded up with Brisbane to get pick 2 and took Taranto after Essendon took McGrath at pick 1. Brisbane said they would have taken Cluggs at pick 1 if they had it.
Powell too –
TU : Steele
TD : Boak

Go lions!!

Short and Martin had enough? Ugh. Cmon, fellas.
RCD, you’re being looped. Do whatever you like, just not an awkward 49.
Hi GD, I need Dusty to lift too after taking him instead of Hall.
Taking out injury/sub affected scores, Hall is ave 109. Has a smaller BE and is playing the Dons. Any reason for going with Dusty?
He did what he wanted. 50 instead of 49 🙂
Urgh. On my field instead of Scott too.
117 Zorko vc. Honestly looks like rolling dice on Grundy.
