Round 6 - Saints v Lions - Friday 25th April

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

MTTY · April 23, 2014, 07:44:32 PM

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

Vinny · April 23, 2014, 08:21:36 PM

Saints! Lions suck shower!

Only team I can bag... :P

Brisbane fan thinks they can win, but they won't.
