Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs R19, Friday 18/7/25 at the Gabba at 7:40pm

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Looking at the radar, the rain band looks to be stretching about 60 k's from the ground and given it's calm, it could be a good while before it passes.

[Jeanette54]

Fox Footy predicting hail shortly.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Wet weather footy, bring your boot studs, no falling over or not grabbing the ball please.

[Mofra]

Hopefully we adjust to the conditions and don't try to get too fancy with ball movement. Territory matters

[The Bulldogs Bite]

The weather gives us a slight chance.

Slight.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

The weather gives us a slight chance.

Slight.

How so?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I think the Gabba drains very well, but its a very, very glassy surface at the best of times!

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How so?

It becomes a game of territory and contest. Less aggressive positioning from half backs, less precise / a bit more predictable in transition.

Plays a bit into our strengths while minimising our weakness on transition.

All theory of course.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I really don't rate JOD.

Lucky to be in the side.

[ledge]

Mmm not a good start all in their forward line

[chef]

Nice start

[comrade]

Our defensive half is garbage.

[DOG GOD]

Kennedy, Freijah, sanders, Davidson = 4 kicks total

[comrade]

We had the ball in our half for most of that quarter. It’s the only way we’ll stay in this game.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Tough footy.

We are in the contest at least.
