If I didn't have family up there I wouldn't be going

Against Brisbane it's win the contested ball & clearances and keep our inside 50 entries away from Harris Andrews.

ps. avoid the ARC and don't stuff up simple rushed behinds either .

Brisbane hope to regain former skipper Dayne Zorko from injury ahead of a high-stakes clash with Richmond.

Zorko has missed the Lions' past two wins with a calf issue, after previously serving a one-match suspension.

But with a tight turnaround to face finals-hunting Richmond at the Gabba on Thursday night, coach Chris Fagan hopes Zorko can help rejuvenate his team.

"So we'll see where he's at on Thursday night - it might be good to have a couple of fresh people in, given that we haven't got too long a turnaround.

"Richmond have been in very good form so we'll have to be on our best form next week.

"They've got a really good chance to push their way into the eight, so it's another high-stakes game.

"I'm sure our players will be really motivated, they were really motivated tonight.

Jack Gunston and Daniel Rich are two weeks into a training block after they were dropped, and aren't in contention to return.

Andrews is overrated and useless.  Make him accountable and he wilts. Control clearances we win .

Looks like we’re going to be 2 points out of the 8 at the conclusion of the round. All teams having played the same amount of games.

Huge game for us Thursday night, Brisbane have been up and down all year but not sure if they’ve lost at the Gabba all season? Plus we have the game after the bye hoodoo to navigate.

I may have gone the early crow….

Brisbane is one of those clubs I take delight in beating . Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always assumed along with the Sydney clubs and Gold Coast they are well funded by the AFL to survive

The weekend's results have been decent for us. Spots 5th-8th are wide open with 9 H/A matches left.

Agree TK, coming off the bye is the biggest question mark? Hopefully, we've noticed how other teams have been lethargic post-bye, addressed it, and we'll be ready to go on all cylinders on Thursday night  .

We've normally been pretty good after the bye. Super confident about this game. Have a feeling Dusty will reannounce himself as the king. He's been building and I have a feeling he will make a statement Thursday night

In general play in recent weeks, Dusty is nearly back to his best. He just needs to finish off his goalkicking. This year (aside from the Geelong game), he has been missing those snaps as well as bounce through goals he used to eat up. Start nailing those goals and he will tear games apart once again.

Exactly, that's why I feel this coming Thursday he will make a statement.. his radar will be online.. he has a great record in Brisbane.. kicked many bags there. I'm predicting 30 touches and 4 goals minimum

I was listening to Sam Mitchell interview on SEN on Friday I think it was and he said they’ve noticed how teams have all been losing after the bye and he addressed it with his players. They still came out and played like absolute crap lol
