Match preview: Brisbane v Western Bulldogs
Michael Whiting
Jul 30, 2019 1:09PM

Where and when: the Gabba, Sunday August 4, 4.40pm

TV, radio and online: Click here for broadcast guide

What it means for Brisbane: With its spot in the finals now assured, the challenge is to lock down a top-four position. A seventh successive win would take the Lions one step closer to the double chance.

What it means for Western Bulldogs: Following last Sunday's thumping of Fremantle, the Bulldogs are now just percentage outside the top eight. An upset win over the Lions would keep them well and truly alive in their quest to reach September for the first time since the 2016 premiership season.

The stat: Brisbane has broken many hoodoos this season (West Coast, Sydney and Adelaide at the top of the list) and this is another chance. The Bulldogs have won the past five matches between the clubs, including all four under Chris Fagan's tutelage. The last time the Lions tasted success was the final round of the 2015 season when an eight-point victory helped them avoid the wooden spoon.

The match-up: Harris Andrews v Aaron Naughton

This pits one of the best defenders in the competition against one of the best young key forwards. Naughton had some success when the teams met in round eight, kicking 3.2 from 15 disposals in cold and windy Ballarat conditions.

It's a big week for: Any time you play your former club for the first time, it's a big deal, and that honour belongs to Marcus Adams on Sunday. Adams has now played four games in Brisbane colours after his off-season transfer from the Dogs.

Big call: A big day for 'The Bont'. Brisbane, like most teams, have trouble matching up on Marcus Bontempelli, who will kick three goals from 30 touches.

Prediction: Brisbane by 24 points

Think we can win this weekend. Brisbane are certainly due a loss, and haven't been as good in the last couple with a close/fortunate win v North, and Hawthorn last week kicking 7.18 and not putting the scoreboard pressure on them when they were the clearly better side in the first half.

They keep winning, but maybe its this week that the young-team-late-season-slide starts.

Four things to watch: Lions v Dogs
Aug 2, 2019 10:21PM

1. The Gabba
The Brisbane Lions have made the Gabba a tough place for opposition teams to win in 2019.
Outside of a 10-goal loss to Collingwood in round five, the Lions have not dropped a game on their home deck this season.
They’ve won their past five at the Gabba – and their past six matches overall in 2019.
The Lions are red-hot, and it will take the Bulldogs’ best to stop them.

2. Naughton v Andrews
Two of the competition’s most exciting key position players could go head-to-head on Sunday – Aaron Naughton and Harris Andrews.
The duo spent time on each other earlier this year in Ballarat, with Naughton kicking three goals to have an impact on the result.
Naughton has had an impressive second year at AFL level after being swung forward, kicking 23 goals and claiming 40 contested marks – 23 more than the next best Bulldog, Marcus Bontempelli.
But Andrews has emerged as one of the competition’s best defenders – on average he effects more than 10 spoils per game in 2019.

3. The midfield battle
The midfield battle is always crucial, and this week is no exception.
Last time the Dogs and Lions met, the Dogs led most of the key indicators – from disposals, to clearances, inside-50s and tackles.
But they won’t be expecting things all their own way.
Lachie Neale, Dayne Zorko and Jarryd Lyons have been in superb form in recent weeks, with plenty of support – think Hugh McCluggage, Mitch Robinson and Jarrod Berry.
The Bulldogs’ midfield is equally potent, led by the likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Lachie Hunter, Jack Macrae and Josh Dunkley.

4. The record
The Bulldogs have the wood over the Lions in recent times – they’ve won the past five.
But in the last three meetings, little has separated the two teams – with the margins at 16, 14 and 14 points.
This week’s match looms as the most important the teams have played in recent times.
The Lions are in the hunt for a top-four spot come finals, while a win keeps the Bulldogs’ finals aspirations alive.

Let’s be honest we have some average players still playing week to week.

Dickson and Suckling are done, Trengove/Cordy are not AFL standard and Wood is close to done.

We need some more high end talent through the draft and to continue drafting well with later picks.

Yep!

And you get a cock-smoker like King saying how great they’ve been. We just butcher a certain goal and then get caught on the counter. The ball should be going back to the centre to be bounced (where we are on top), but instead they’re getting goal scoring opportunities.

Ok Doggies. Half time, time to regroup, we aren't done yet.

There were a number of positives in the first half (in spite of what some posters on here think).

Keep at it, tighten up, and start to play your game. Things should begin to open up for us as the game goes on.

There I not so much difference that we can't overcome it.

merantau
04-08-2019, 05:54 PM
We have butchered so many opportunities - it's criminal. If we can just take the chances we generate we are still a chance because they did their best to keep us in it for a while there. We've gifted them 36 points from turnovers.

Kicking skills, shots for goal, panic in forward line... three times that I can think of that we stuffed up inside 10metres of goal.
Plodding defenders who cough the ball up.

Undoing what I thought was a fair bit of hard work and hard running.

I don’t feel as angry as some. We are where we are on the ladder for a reason. We are going to be a very good team again in 2020, our team is very young, and those at the other end of the age spectrum are really showing it.

I don’t buy this. We should be a better side than Brisbane. We just miss easy shots, targets then turn it over when we are out of position. We have a good midfield that are going ok. The backs are under pressure due to our poor skills. The forward are putting the backs under pressure by not hitting the score board and applying score board pressure.
