The Lions had the difficult task of facing the reigning premiers in round 1, coming away with a competitive yet still one-sided loss. The Cats, meanwhile, used a dominant 4th quarter to put away an Adelaide team that showed a whole lot of heart but lacked the talent to back it up. The teams were 1-1 against each other last season, both victories coming by less than a goal, but you'd still think it very tough for the Lions to get up this week without Rockliff.
Think this will actually be pretty close. Lions will miss Rocky though
Thanks Huggy was just coming in to set up myself.
For the Lions both Rich and Redden will be playing their 100th game.
Remember last year we beat Brisbane at the Gabba and just went down at Simmonds so I would be taking the 47.5 points on offer. Replacement for Rocky will be either Raines or Nick Robertson. With Leppa want to blood the draftees suspect may be Robertson and he may be given the run with role.
Cats by 4 goals

If Raines isn't the replacement, I'd be looking at Selwood to have an absolute blinder! That might end up being the deciding factor on whether I go Selwood or Deledio for AF!
Cats by 40 points
Cats by 6 goals.
I'm just gonna leave this here ;)

I don't support either team, but flower that ending is amazing
I'm gonna say Cats by 5 goals as they are still one of the better sides in the comp, however I think Brisbane showed good heart last weekend so could well be another close game between the two sides!
Would not complain with another after-the-siren finish though 8)

I remember I was following the scores on my computer and saw it getting close so rushed downstairs and turned on the tv. Such an amazing finish! I went absolutely nuts with excitement.

have watched that quite a few times GL and yes was in the crowd that day as well. One of the best atmospheres I have experienced even better than the West Coast win the previous year,
As I said earlier I expect another close game and with all the rain in Brisbnae atm and predicted to be heavier tomorrow and Friday may be a little damp as well.

Breaks extended for Lions, Cats game
THE AFL's heat policy will be applied for Sunday's match between the Brisbane Lions and Geelong, with the Queensland capital expecting high temperatures.
Game not on FTA in Cairns. WTF? 12:10 game? Bullshower

"BRISBANE ruckman Matthew Leuenberger has thrown a major scare through the Lions camp ahead of tomorrow's clash with Geelong after rolling his ankle at training today.
Lions officials said the ankle would be assessed further but were confident there was no major damage and he remained in the frame to take on the Cats"
Just a preliminary warning that Berger could be a late out.
JELWOOD FOR 36 disposals 2 goals 6 tackles 17 CP 3FF 1FA and 9 marks DE 72% 22 Kicks 14 handballs SC 142
Was wondering where the full teams were, then saw it is 12:10 Australian Eastern Standard Time

LEUEY PLAYING! And Taylor not sub, bit surprised there...
phew! been sweating on Luey all weekend haha
Caddy decides what I'm doing next week. If he cranks out a hundy, he's being traded in
#OperationGetCaddy
Haha Berger playing.
I'm looking at Taylor if he performs he could be traded in next week.
I only have Caddy playing in this game.
Hanley and Cadds, go lads go!
Watching Taylor closely too...
need a big game from Hanley - just to make my score half decent
Cats to win by 3 to 4 goals
Subs Bewick and George Horlin Smith
Hopefully Hanley will get more mid time with rocky out he could step up.... Ball will be around him ally i think just whether he can touch it... Hmmm need a 100
Taylor starting is good. Can't wait to get rid of Rohan

He's on the ball, but just not touching it. ruining my weekend >:(
Geelong traded ablett for smedts and caddy lol
Omfg he just touched it. :P
Green scores finally after screwing up 4 chances
Caddy --> Hunter & Wright --> Chapman could work well
Mackie stopped touching it because I mentioned that I was happy having him... Typical :(

Also thinking Gunston to the Zork
Can anyone who's watching give so insight as to how he's playing? By the sound of things he's not playing the negating role Voss gave him last year.
Zorko 84 sc holy moly is he back???
Zorko playing in the midfield a bit and up forward but is just finding HEAPS of the ball

Zorko scored 120 last week, I doubt Rocky will influence him too much.

Yeah but Rocky was up forward for three quarters.
I still think Zorko should go well with Rocky in the team.
Get going again Mayes. :(
Enright down and looks in pain more carnage this week
Enright off the ground, this round goes from bad to worse. >:(
Can't see the game, do people think Taylor is doing enough to be best 21?
Brings Enright into AF this week for Mitchell Enright gets injured ::)

The worse thing was I took Sammy out during the week before he was a late out so definitely not winning there haha
Enright has his right foot in a Gatorade chiller

With the new sub rule i have a feeling we will have a lot of weeks like this.
Lewis Taylor 18 disposals and a full game. Must-have rookie territory
Just cannot take a trick this week. Went Enright over Hanley and Pav over Zorko ::)
Varcoe has been very good today.
