Yes Lester's form was against weaker opposition.  When playing relatively mobile tall forwards, or powerfully built forwards  I would be playing Payne. We need to see what he has, but it is a faster, taller, bigger version of Lester.  Payne, like others back in Brisbane have been getting practice matches against other AFL squads.  No reports on how he is going though.  Also think Answerth should find a spot. Witho may now have to wait until Birchall is finished. As Fages has almost guaranteed there won't be any changes, so not sure if we will get to see Wooller, Ely, Sam, Ballenden, Payne etc this year.  Hard to change a winning team, but I do think we could have better options in one or two spots.

Was a good win especially away from home, but needs to be tempered slightly in that GWS had a few key players missing.  All we need now is to play Collingwood in the next few weeks without De Goey. Stating the obvious QLD home grown advantage, Lions will be extremely hard to beat.
