Lions lucky that the Pies missed some easy shots. Lions looked ok in patches. Still not convinced that they are that good a team. only seem to fire at home. I do rate Cam Rayner - pity he is contracted to 2025.

You just have to take the steam out of Collingwood's run and gun style for as long as you can in each quarter. Don't crowd the contest, don't let them run forward without pressure and be mindful of who's being assertive when the ball is in dispute.

Literally everything I worry about in terms of how we play is what you need to be mindful of to beat them.

The second quarter in particular was the blueprint. They just denied them the ball at all costs and starved their game of any oxygen. I think we’re capable of replicating that.

How many times did he throw the ball in the air and then hit it with his other hand to clear the contest without getting pinged this week?

While I quite like how Collingwood have been playing I'm glad we have seen them lose that game.
The lack of a genuine ruck man hurt them last night and the irony is that they're paying a significant chunk of Grundy's contract and are suggesting to the AFL that there not only needs to be a mid season draft but a mid season trade period as this would help them address their lack of ruck options.

I actually see it as a danger game for the Saints. They're flying, but GCS just beat the Cats relatively well and kept them ineffectual going forward which could easily happen to the Saints.

There's hope it won't happen!

Suns should?ve beaten Essendon at Marvel a couple of weeks prior.

Bris have won like 40/45 games at the Gabba in recent years. Totally different team up there.

We're never getting Good Friday back.

The hype around the "full" ground and how amazing it is has basically put a nail in the coffin. If it's a close game then that'll make it even harder.

Good Friday's the first day of the Easter break, everyone goes away. Ridiculous idea that it could be an ersatz Anzac Day. No loss.

We had 47K first game. Crowds don’t matter.

Oh yeah we cooked now.

Best thing in their favour is it is a contest. Bad timing for us that Norf are no longer completely shit.
