Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs - 2021 1st Semi Final

[Rocco Jones]

I'll never not recommend Review with Forrest MacNeil as well. If you can't find it I will go out of my way to somehow enable you to watch it.

I loved the original, Review with Myles Barlow. Really like the actor who plays Forrest MacNeil. Big Eastbound and Down fan.

It's game day!

Not overly confident but think we'll give a good account of ourselves.

Nullifying clean ball into our D50 while also taking our chances forward will be the key.

[DOG GOD]

Can’t allow the likes of McCarthy, Bailey, Zorko and Berry to kick multiple goals. Our mids/half backs will really have to have their defensive eyes on tonight.
A definite tag on Rich…and gotta hope that one of their “lesser” tall fwds don’t pull a “Majak daw” out of the blue.

It will be close. I just think home ground will be enough for them.

Queensland press conference at 10am. Let’s see what if anything happens today.

Lots of ‘concern’ about Delta spreading, but not doing anything about it.

Full GABBA crowd at this stage.

I think a bit of shift in Australian/Premier politics to not go with auto lockdown. There's been a case and another linked one. I think a fortnight ago this results in auto lockdown but seems one is inevitable when bordering with NSW, so Qld will make hay while the sun shines. One more case today and I think no crowds. We will probably find out tomorrow though.

McGowan locked out crowds before the WCE I think 2 hours before. They’re doubling down, just said no change to stadium capacity etc.

Qld cancelled games entirely with similar notice.

I'm not underestimating Brisbane but I'm very confident we can win this one. We need to consider tagging Rich today and I wonder if that should be Roarke Smith

Pretty sure they work out from contact tracing where the person has been and what the potential is to spread the virus. Hopefully all is well for tonight.

Nope. Only one person used the QR checking systems across many exposure sites. They’re trying to hunt them down. But they don’t know. CHO said if they find them and there’s positives then lockdown is on the cards. Probably get a better picture in 24-48 hours.

Yep. I think they are one case away from a snap lockdown. If I was a betting man, which I am, I’d say they will be in lockdown once they get the close contact results (which are prioritised).

Interesting call of Roarke on Rich. I’d have thought he’d perhaps go to McCLuggage but Rich or even Bailey could be other options who can hurt with limited number of touches and also have the speed to hurt us.

I think Roarke will go to McCluggage as a defensive wing. Hannan may get a job stopping Rich.
