In a season that has started so poorly and had some very average performances - that win, under the most crippling circumstances was a win to saviour.
Can't see us doing much damage this year. We are coming from a long way back and now have the worst injury list in the AFL.
I will live with...
Morris looks very sharp. Football brain. One for the future and probably needs to be in the seniors next week or in the coming weeks. Reville also looks a class above the rest when he has the ball in hand. He just has to keep the work rate up. Tunstill needs to do more after that qtr.
What has happened to this team?? The GF loss was suppose to spur them in 2024. Instead we look like a side who has gone to the well too many times and can't do it or don't want to do it anymore?
The second half was abysmal and even if you factor in the 4 day break (same for GWS) the wet...
Both have amazing hands in close. Black probably better vision with his kicks. Neale didn't quite have the superstars around him like Blacky. Honestly it's a tough call and a very good question. We have been blessed to watch both run around for our beloved Lions.
Good luck tmw mate in Junior...
The World is a better place now this lowlife murdering scumbag has departed. Cancer got him in the end. Maybe the weight of a guilty conscious finally took its toll.
Enjoy hell OJ.
Rayner does need to be a lot more consistent. Most Lions fans would agree with that. He isn't going to be a consistent 25 disposal player. But, the touches he does get are normally high impact and last night he dominated the first qtr with a million clearances that set the Lions win up. Rayner...
I forgot to mention Berry who played a ripping game last night. Covered so much ground. Ah Chee is always reliable and does a lot of 1% that go unnoticed by most, but not his team mates.
Linc McCarthy is another. So many blocks and taps that don't earn him a possession but go along way to us...
Comprehensive win. As good as I have seen us play in last few years. We had the game on our terms for entire night and the Dees saved grace with some junk goals in last qtr when steam had gone out of the match.
I don't think we had one bad player. Everyone played their role and the tacking and...
The effort is there and then the effort isn't there. We have played one good qtr in each of our games. Problem is we are letting teams dominate for too long a period.
We just can't stop teams when they get a run on. Second qtr we dominated but didn't put the score on the board because our...
Play Ah Chee off half back. Provide a bit more run. Dev Robbo needs to really step up tonight. Berry and Rayner need big games (understatement). I like two rucks for the simple reason big O just can't do it by himself for entire match. Also him resting forward is hard for opposition to match up...
This is the issue. Who do we replace them with?? Wouldn't be one player who is knocking down the door demanding to be played. I'm all for giving a youngster a chance but you can't expect three of them to come straight into the side and get instant results.
To be fair Fletcher has hardly set...
Suddenly we have gone from a team who was 5 mins from winning a Grand Final to a team who looks devoid of speed - stamina - desire and even more concerning awful decision making and structure.
I reckon from the moment Fremantle kicked their first goal you could see we were in massive trouble...
Feras and Kirby have clearly played the best games. Kirby can add winning immunity twice now to her resume. Feras hasn't looked like winning a challenge but has done well to retain his idol which everyone seems to have forgotten about? Both a better at reading the game and moves. Caroline thinks...
Rayner's problem in my mind is he thinks he is working to elite levels. He isn't. He will never have a good tank but we knew that when we drafted him. But 15 disposals isn't going to cut it unless he can add 2/3 goals to that. He needs to be a 20 disposal player who kicks 35+ goals for the year...
I'm more upset about Kiddy than losing a match that we were winning in a canter. First game fitness was a factor but losing Kiddy was an even bigger factor. He gives us so much drive and dare off half back.
Rayner still doesn't do enough for a player of his ability. Payne was ordinary but how...
Outstanding movie and some brilliant acting from some of the best in the business. Special praise to Luis Guzman who only had a minor role in this film but was outstanding.
Good first episode and about time we got 24 new players. Nathan not the sharpest tool in the shed and his mate with the muscles even dimmer. "We are voting out Jess " yeah I will do that - who is Jess !! haha had me in tears. If you thought that was hilarious then Nathan steps up to speak with...
Such a brilliant win. So gutsy. They should be so proud of their amazing achievements. Toughest team by a long way. Up the mighty Lions. Hope the pubs are flowing down the road in Fitzroy tonight.
Draft is done. Time will tell how well we did? Getting some forward options in was all going to be the case. They will take time to develop. I really like this Zane Zak - the highlights of him are very exciting. Looked very much like Harris Andrews the way he floated back for marks. He could be...
Home games against Geelong and Richmond should be wins. Expect both to struggle next year. We were overdue to play Eagles in Perth. Just as Hawks were overdue to play us in Brissy - once again they don't. Hawthorn would have played around two games in Brisbane in last 6/7 years I reckon. That...
Outstanding suggestion. AFL not smart enough to do this.
Lions really should be pushing for an extra Melbourne game while the Gabba redevelopment is taking place.
Put some money into Brunswick oval and play GWS there in the season. Would easily get 15k.
