Brisbane. How many wins?

Post by Presti35 »

Round 1, 2017.

The Lions get up by 2 points over... arch rival... Gold Coast Suns.

Since then, nothing. Their closest margin was -27 in round 2 Vs Essendon.

In 2015, they won 4 games. In 2016, 3.

With one win so far in 2017, can they get up and beat either their last 2 seasons results?

(Currently 2 wins behind Carlton, GC and Sydney).

So there's a couple winnable games in there, isn't there?

Maybe 2 or 3 wins but it won't be a priority. Lose them all and they will get another first round pick. Hopefully after ours. If they play hardball with Schache they could have 3 picks.

Might win against the Suns and Blues on a good day. Beating Fremantle at the Gabba is also a possibility.

I think they'll win another match somewhere, but I only see a maximum of three wins this year.

Didnt they say that was off the agenda now that Leppitch was gone? Surely Fagan didnt want to go in year one and start losing on purpose?

Surely, surely, SURELY, the players, coaches, fans and everyone running that club has had enough of losing and tanking.

It's a massive reason why they lose so many players.

That club stinks.

Looks like they'll get number 2 today - they lead Freo 100 to 43 in the third quarter.

Yep. Got their second win today.

You'd think they'd find at least one more win somewhere else too.

Can they get above Carlton though? :P

Carlton or Suns look like their only real opportunities from here, yesterday's performance notwithstanding. Tough run home for them.

After the shock GWS loss, I dont think the Lions will be able to catch Carlton.

Priceless seeing Essendon choke two weeks in a row.

Hopefully good things come in three and they can repeat it again next week ;)
