    Re: Always Right Match Committee Semi Final vs Brisbane 2021

    Should have just played it in Tassie where there hasn't been a case in forever.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      Qld Govt cancelled games on the same day in Round 20. I don't think they will do the same again, you might be right. NRL finals there too. Might sway them not to completely cancel.

        We clearly really like a crowd. So that’s not great for us. But no 40,000 loud Brisbane people. Maybe that hurts them a little more???

          Look, I just put my four year old daughter to bed so first of all hopefully this 4 year old girl is okay and I feel bad talking about it in terms of footy advantage but...


          Yeah definitely think it suits us. They are much better at home. Disrupting that helps us. Have the Lions even played at an empty stadium?

          We have lost most of ours but I believe all the ones we've lost have been at Marvel. Is this right?

          Pies and Saints last year, we beat GWS and North there last year.

          This year we lost to the Dees, Port and Dons at Marvel. Beat Dees at MCG and Crows at Mars.

          So 2-5 at empty Marvel. 2-0 empty elsewhere.

          If Lions haven't played at an empty stadium, that's 9 games over the last 2 years for us and none for them.

            I’ve read a bit on here this week the ‘advantage’ of a packed GABBA is 4-5 goals. If the crowd plus no McStay out with some other guns, then maybe it’s more 1-2 goals. If we play well we should cover a 1-2 advantage.

            If the health advice keeps people safe, and helps us towards the result we want. Win-Win.

                I really do not think it matters. We are our own destiny and this group have the hunger. Bring it on.

                  We also won in Perth with no crowd.

                      So no crowd, played away, makes us red hot favourites?!!

                        I'm going into some deep psychology but maybe it's about something so familiar being disrupted.

                          You’re feeling pretty confident then ? What are you most worried about ?
                          It will be a close game due to home ground advantage, but I think our mids will be too good. Really need to make sure we defend well again this week as Daniher, Cameron are opportunist.

                            No crowds huh? Suddenly like our chances a little more if that happens.

                              I got rained on just a little. But mainly pre game waiting to get in.

                              Don’t think it means much today. We can beat the Lions in any conditions.

                                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
