jw1739 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Suspect Nabbout will start, otherwise likely unchanged. Brisbane are on a bit of a roll, but we should be able to account for them. Hoping for a nice afternoon and despite the obligations people will have for Mothers' Day that there will be a good crowd in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised that this could be a big challenge for us. Brisbane have been playing some good football and are no push overs. Although they're sixth they're only 3 points away from second spot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to win their catch up games, they’d be 2nd. Or to put it another way, they have the second highest possible points score. This game and the following one against Adelaide are the really big ones. For this one, we get the win and Brisbane’s chances of winning the Plate plummet. It’s a big game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Their form over the last five matches is better than ours, includes three away wins, one of which was knocking the Mariners over 4-0. If we're complacent we could lose this one. We will need to be at our best, as they are no pushovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 This is one of the most important games we'll play all season, followed by Adelaide on Thursday night. Wins at home are what's required but given the stakes, I'd almost be happy with a draw in each as it means two of our biggest rivals for the Plate are starved of points while our run home is pretty good. Lose either however, and I feel like things are going to get dicey. Quite literally season-defining but I think we'll do it. This team knows how to win.

A win for us today imo all but seals the premiership for us. This is a huge game for us, both from a history and season perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Completely and utterly dominated them and yet it's 2-2. Go figure. Glover needs to find his testicles and begin to command his box. He will never come off his line and even when he does he is more running in hope then with confidence. I still have full confidence that we'll win, but just to be sure, I'd sub Griffiths and nabbout on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
