Question:
Who will win?
Option 1: Saints
votes: 13
Option 2: Lions
votes: 4
Option 3: Draw
votes: 1
Conditions may dictate the style of game to be played. Will the Saints continue on their winning way or will Lions get their first win? Lions will be bolstered by the return of Merrett, Hanley and green but who will curb Riewoldt in career best form?
Cant see Brisbane winning this. Saints playing good footy under Richo and Nroo is the #1 forward in the game at the moment.
Saints by 25
Who normally goes to NRoo from Brissie? Does Merrett have the legs? Think NRoo could have another day out

Merret will have to be the man but I don't think it would matter who played on Roo atm. He is in some serious form
Merret does not have the legs to run with Roo. Do not be surprised if we give Cutler the role has the ticker to run with him and only giving away 3cm in height.

If Cutler does go to Nroo I'll be bringing them both into my fantasy team haha
Will be interesting to see if Raines comes in to the side as well, perhaps to replace one of our young rookies. We've been quite competitive in most of our games, just fall away late in the 3rd, and then get blown out in the last quarter (down by 1 against Hawks midway through 3rd, competitive all game against Cats, down by 8 midway through 3rd against Suns, up by a goal midway through 3rd against Tigers). That tends to happen with such a young and inexperienced team, and injuries have definitely hurt us so far this year. Merrett, Hanley, and Green will make a pretty big difference here. Hoping Rocky has a field day, picked up something like 38 possessions against the Saints last year IIRC.
I can see the game being really close for the first 3 quarters, whether or not we can hang on for the remainder of the game is a different story. Lions by 8 points :)
Lions could put up a fight, don't rule them out. St.Kilda are still my tip though.
Saints should win
Lions should remain without a win. Saints by 39.
Reckon Jack Steven will bounce back to his best and he along with Rooey will guide Saints to a 5 goal victory.

TL;DR.
Saints are looking a lot better. They'll win easy.
Tough pick I reckon but I think Saints might win this even tho I`d prefer the Lions to win
Saints! Lions suck shower!
Only team I can bag... :P

You lost to Melbourne. You don't get to bag anyone until next year.
I actually think that Brisbane will win this one.
Not really sure why though, as everything in front of me seems to favour the Saints
I hope the fact that we're actually going in as favorites doesn't flower with us.

Still higher on the ladder than you. You guys can barely win a quarter, let alone a game.

All our games this year but the Q Clash were against top 8 sides last year, where as you've only played 3 games against top 8 sides last year and lost to Melbourne.
Win for the Lions coming up.
Nroo to have a field day and kick a bag. Saints should get up by four goals I think.
It's simple for Brisbane really. Shut down Riewoldt and you win. I hope they don't, my fantasy teams can't take another beating!!!

Same as my thoughts.
Why are we playing in NZ again? The crowd is expected to be a lot less than last year.
St Kilda will win by plenty. Brisbane need to find something.
We will Aaron and do not be surprised if we cause the upset. Hopefully the area of concentration for a full quarter is getting through and we concentrate for the full 4 quarters In all but one of our games we have been competitive but getting blown away by points in time on so if that is addressed we can win. (162 points so far for season in time on over 5 matches is disgraceful)
@stkildathunda: News from Saints training: Tom Hickey didn't train with main group, looked to be bit ginger when walking. Sam Fisher didn't train at all.
Hoping Hickey gets up, was hoping to keep him until his bye.

Wow that's crazy Ringo, 162 points in time on his just huge. Do you think that's a fitness thing (not being able to run out quarters) or just inexperience and lack of focus?
For us WA people does this game start at 3:45 or 5:45 ?
Money I would say 3:34pm.
Lucky in Qld as all three games tomorrow are Free to air.
@toga just concentration lapses I think with the inexperience. Senior players have highlighted it is costing us 30 points at least a agme. Look at our match against you we were in front at the 20 minute of 3rd quarter but you got the next 5 goals before three quarter time. Just using this as an example of where we are really falling down.
Yeah understand mate it would be very frustrating for coaches & supporters. I guess with a lot of new guys in your team though the younger heads would have more concentration lapses than more experienced teams, and probably don't have the legs to run out quarters as hard as the more experienced teams.
Hopefully you can get it sorted out!

Cheers Ringo, just checked a foxtel guide and its comes on a 3:30
Am thinking Patful might get the job on Roo. Just don't think Merrett has the legs and there aren't really any other options.
Rumours starting to surface that Merrett may be used forward to start game. Makes sense if you look at keeping Gardiner in the side so may be a surprise switch.
Anyone have any guesses who the subs will be? Need to make a decision for RDT on whether to field Taylor or Impey...

Yeah been some discussion in the Lions team board, Taylor is probably most likely IMO. Green also a candidate, along with some of the other rookies in Cutler, Aish, Robbo
That was my thought too so I fielded Impey.

Should have gone to the place on Cuba St. They do great scallops.
Does Rocky still have the tag? How is/was he handling it?
Curren tagging Rocky
Riewoldt fell heavily in the first quarter and injured knee so do not know whether that is slowing him down but Patful is also running with him and matching him in the air.
McGuane is still a big dud, can't believe he's still playing football.

Rocky was pretty disappointing but how about James Aish! Terrific game from the young fella, he's gonna be a star!
Congrats to the Lions on their first win of the season.
Aish will probably be the rising star nomination this week. Pity I had him on the bench in all fantasy teams and not even emergency, :-[ :-[

Thanks Brad - pleased to see we finally did not buckle in red zone time which has been one of our problems. Still have issues but I think in the end we more perhaps more desperate for the win as evidenced by some efforts in the last 5 minutes.
One thing for certain with the Saints though they are leaving egg on most peoples face as they were one of the picks to finish last.

Thanks Brad - pleased to see we finally did not buckle in red zone time which has been one of our problems. Still have issues but I think in the end we more perhaps more desperate for the win as evidenced by some efforts in the last 5 minutes.
One thing for certain with the Saints though they are leaving egg on most peoples face as they were one of the picks to finish last.
yep been impressed with our start mate. our draw gets pretty tricky in the second half of the season fron memory so I've gotta enjoy it while I can.
both clubs rebuilding, already have some good youngsters on their lists so I'm looking forward to the battles we have in the future!
The efforts of out dues best and Fairest in quelling the influence of Nroo should not be underestimated. Patfull I believe is very under rated outside Brisbane. Nroo has been outstanding for Saints this sason and this effort imo also contributed strongly to the win.
Both clubs have an exciting future as they are rebuilding but we seen glimpses of the future on display Dunstan, Billings, Aish and Taylor will be stars in the future.
Good win by the Lions, but the Saints nearly pinched it.
flowering Rocky, had him as captain in RDT. >:(
At least Trent West done well.
