Last time they met

R18, 2017, Brisbane Lions 17.10 (112) d Carlton 11.16 (82) at the Gabba

  • Beams and Zorko starred with 3 goals each
  • Harry McKay played first game of the year
  • Carlton started slowly and paid for it. A spirited comeback was short-lived as the Lions earned a 30 point win.

What I’m excited about

  • Two (2) weeks of good effort sees us coming into the game with momentum.
  • Marc Murphy committing to the team for 2 years is very important for the morale of the team.
  • Murph's new role - I really enjoy seeing him play away from the middle and moving into it as the game wears on.
  • We should get some more good players back in the side
  • The Lions are travelling back from Perth which might impact their recovery.
  • Charlie Curnow is in scintillating form and with Harris Andrews is out, it could be an opportunity to continue on with his form.

What I’m concerned about

  • Make no mistake about it, this Lions team is ahead of us in terms of their rebuild.
  • They are well structured, disciplined, and have the cohesion that we are looking for.
  • Dayne Beams and Zorko really lead the lions well

IN - Thomas | O’Brien

OUT - Polson | Mullett

Kreuzer stays out, not confident he’s 100% and we have Phillips

Graham keeps his spot, but MUST perform this week


Prediction - Carlton by 14
