Brisbane have to be mentally shot. Got floggedby the Dees in front of a home town sell out crowd. Then there was the sledging caper and all the media fuss after that. 50% of the crowd on Thursday may be tigers fans. I imagine boos for a certain Lions player every time he touches the ball. Home finals games shouldnt be like that..
Hoping 10 minutes into the 3rd Dusty subbed off with the Tigers up by 7 goals and the great man with 4 to his name. No injury of course just 'awareness"
Centre clearances the key especially at the Gabba. One kick from the middle and you already 30m out from goal. Big game required by Prestia and Cotchin.Bit worried about our defence. Particularly Tarrant if he plays on Daniher. I know he’s been going ok Tarrant but still worried about him when he’s forced to defend on the lead.
Players up the ground need to apply enough pressure to make the ball come in high, or tumbling, or missing targets. The days of our backline being able to handle anything anytime are gone. Need some decent pressure applied on their entries.
Hooch mentioned that during the week.Centre clearances the key especially at the Gabba. One kick from the middle and you already 30m out from goal. Big game required by Prestia and Cotchin.
Nank and Miller the other keys to this. Need to nullify and influence from Mckernerny at the centre bounces.

He did. Does his best work on the medicinal hooch.Hooch mentioned that during the week.
Didn't pick you for a pessimist.I reckon well win by 10 goals
Shouldnt be hard to motivate Dusty now. The flog journo dug up that crap from 2017!!Maybe as a ploy, Dusty won't start right away but be on the bench for the start.
Then he could come on with a huge roar from Tiger supporters and give the heeby jeebies to the Lions.
Just a thought bubble.

Our backline is suspect to quick ball movement. As you said pressure up the field will be crucial. Another crucial piece is Vlastuin. His intercept marking will need to be on tonight.
Not necessarily. Depends on the personnel down there. When we were winning premierships we could handle this. All our key defenders were quick and were able to match the forward on the lead.Sorry Smoking, isn't every backline suspect to quick ball movement?
