Watched the Lions v Daylesford yesterday. Very slick albeit a pracy and both teams missing a few.

Observations:

Barrack ex Donald was good
Kennedy star feeny is his If plays year out
Lions new kit looks slick
Darrell Wilson got a list he needs to
Be interesting to see how 2 teams can connect together with new recruits aswell, I’d imagine it will take a while for it all to gel!

Also hearing co coach Humphrey out for 3 months with injury, also heard there’s a couple others on the long term injury list

Yeah a few practice match injuries. And they never happen to your bottom 6 players.
Humps foot has flared up again. And Hoffs knee is giving him grief.

Not ideal, I’m sure Wilson has got something up his sleeve?

Be interesting to see how long it takes 2 teams that merge to click as well as the addition of new players. They’ve got the list to go a long way, whether or not they can all get on the same page and work together is a different story, time will tell I guess.

At what ladder position finish is a pass mark for Calder? When does the heat start coming for Wilson and Jordan about their coaching abilities .
Cant have the list and depth and also a graders like they do and not finish top 2 or be there on last day of September

This year would have to be top 3. Wouldn’t go too hard on humphries. Still only a young fella

Finals, anything can happen in finals.

Let’s wait until the season has at least started before we start applying any “heat”.

Think everyone has an opinion on the merger and while Calder would expect to be highly successful I dont think many would be unhappy to see some years before they taste success. Although a premiership and an audit might be a good thing.
 
Righto, on the eve of round 1 week a few predictions . I’m keen to hear everyone’s and why . Mine

Lions by 80pts over Donald. Real statement game by lions . Exell to kick 10
Birchip by 140pts over Charlton . Edwards bag 15
St arnard by 13 over boort. Baddely Kelly 35 and 2
Sea lake by 30 over redbacks . Jensen 5, and Wade donnan 30 and 1

Bigjohn88. Have you seen the departures from Donald ? They’ve lost 16 of there semi final side? Or do you know something we don’t ??

And red backs could get chocolates if Jenkins isn’t playing, they rattled a few festhers last year!!
I like it
