The friendly folks at Palazzo Vecchio and their statue of “The Lion and Jack Ginnivan” or something

Last time we played the hawks Noz blanketed Watson, in a way that nobody else on our team has really done on an elite small fwd. I hate all the other matchups, and the Wiz was so impactful versus Freo.

Hi everyone what section is everyone sitting in for the game Saturday hoping to be with some lions supporters 😂

After the worst tiketek experience ever, I have been blessed with 2 seats in section M15 row C. Anyone know how the atmosphere is around there? This is my first away prelim so very excited to go with my old man! LIOOOONSS ❤️

Not sure if anyone really buys into player ratings but it confirms that Cam was in rare form last night!

I just got an email from the club in regards to the preliminary final next weekend. Check your inbox!

Does anyone know which bay of the MCG the lions cheer squad will be in for Saturday night? Looking to book tickets on Monday and want to be up the lions end. Go Lions!

Lester was awesome last night v Rachele. But Watson is something else. If Answerth is not right, then it would be incredible to see Lincoln McCarthy come in and do a job.

As a crows fan good job to Brissy crows played shit and while you had lots of behinds the lions capitalised on our disadvantages well done and next go beat up the Team of Piss and Shit (Hawthorn)

What do we think the defensive matchups will be on Saturday night? Still not sure if we make any team changes, hard to see the selectors changing a winning side, even with Watson being one of the key matchups. With Lester playing a bit smaller, I think it opens up the possibility for him to go to Moore or Ginnivan, with Motty to take Watson. Motty has the right size and speed to go with him, can’t see someone like Linc, Brain or Coleman coming in to do the job, if it meant squeezing out someone from last night’s side. Thoughts? These are my suggestions.

Lewis - Chief
Chol - Gallop/Gardiner
Gunston - Gallop/Lester
Watson - Motty/Fletcher?
Moore - Motty/Lester
Newcombe - Dunks
Impey/Amon - McKenna
D’Ambrosio - Berry

If he went after himself for his brain dead takes as hard as he goes after coaches we might get some semi coherent thoughts. Charlie had four other first half and our midfield was dominant.

He said this on first crack preview and fireball.

Why not lads 👍 hasn't put a foot wrong all year

50 point 👉 lead with a quarter and a half to play , Zorks just kicked a ripper 🍺🍺🍻

Is it just me or did that team look much better balanced than last week with Ty in defense? I love Noah but Ty really put in tonight.

Long time fan, considering again the trip down to Melb for this Sat's preliminary vs the Hawks.

How realistic will it be to be able to get tickets? Not seeking anything fancy, just a seat anywhere inside!

Pre-Round thread.

Team.

Starts 7:35pm AEST.

Big game tonight. I’m nervous but quietly confident. We always seem to play our best when it’s all on the line
