[CarterS]

Last couple of these games at the MCG have been classics with great comebacks each time- hopefully another one coming. I'm glad Pickett is out because he usually tears us apart.

 

[Miluxx]

This could be top 4 gone for us this season. We have much more to lose then melbourne so I hope the boys play like it.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Lions will win. This game will be the catalyst and a driving force for 2024.


You'll hear, The Mighty, Roar.

 

[My Tilly]

This could be top 4 gone for us this season. We have much more to lose then melbourne so I hope the boys play like it.

May be finals gone too. A couple of sides will be vying for that 6th-8th spot in Collingwood, Gold Coast, St Kilda.

1-4, it's effectively curtains with Geelong & GWS to follow in your schedule.

 

[questeds]

Too early in the season to be picking Premiers yet, and I'm at pains to write us off, but this is a pretty big game in the context of the first half of the season at least.

 

[DreadBat5701894]

Melbourne should win, but I think being underdogs suits us.

GWS weren't exactly 'convincing' over the Suns, though they still got the job done. Definitely not expecting an easy game, but it depends who turns up; Jekyll or Hyde!

 

[Mr.X]

Melbourne are probably the most dangerous and best performed side so far this year.

Brisbane will have their hands full, and melbourne could easily get a 7+ goal win

2022 h&a season nightmares are still vivid

 

[JustaBattler]

Demons get to add a nail to the coffin.

 

[_jrtp09_]

Lions haven’t quite hit their straps yet but as a neutral I’m hoping to see a good contest. Demons by 17 points.

 

[RAPPA]

More spinning from Lever would be nice

 

[PCORF]

Brisbane will win in an upset by 12pts.

That finals win in 2022 we were paying $5-1 which would be up there with the biggest upsets in finals in a long time, if you're going by the odds.

 

[Jirik13]

Looking forward to this game. High stakes for Lions on the road. Based on season so far Melbourne should win comfortably but who knows.

Did Lions play themself into form with a win over North? Difficult to say. North were unwatchable in the first half (stopped watching after that).

Can Lions stand up in the middle? BigO vs Gawn is not a promising matchup for Lions.

Melbourne look united and humming. Can they continue? Pickett is a loss.

Melbourne by 25.

 

[danster168]

Pickett out is a big out. A 50/50 game now.

 

[Chief]

 

[twhowler]

Pickett out is a big out. A 50/50 game now.

Appeal at 5pm. I reckon it's a 50/50 tribunal decision.

Any mail on Oliver playing?

Dees going very well. Back to back wins in adelaide is not too shabby at all. On top for periods against swans in only loss.

Lions got some confidence v north but they were witches hats at times.

We go really well at the mcg too...

Honestly fear for a flogging if we don't start well.

 

[420]

Very tricky to pick this one, on paper dee's have it but you'd be foolish to discount the lions especially when their backs are against the wall. Dee's by less than a kick

 

[danster168]

it's never the tall forwards that scare me. it'll always be some guy like McCarthy kicking 6 or Zac Bailey

Pickett out is a big out. A 50/50 game now.

I don't think it's close to 50/50. Melbourne are well in front so far this season. This will end our top 4 hopes I'd imagine.

On the odd chance we get our crap together and win this ill start feeling abit more confident.

 

[Xtreme]

Lions will smash Melbourne

If they lose its season over (I'm fact it's season over for Melbourrif they lose as well). Danger game for both teams.

Brisbane by 90

you guys have the edge on us though. Beat us in the finals and then should've beaten us at the G if not for Melksham. This season is only new. Teams can hit form fast. People wrote us off after we lost to Sydney
