Not really - struggled in last game & imo Lyons is more afl ready.

Bob will get another chance in time.

Sorry, I disagree with you on this one, Matty has the 'mongrel' factor in spades, something I am yet to see at all from Lyons and although Matt is not quick.....Lyons is dead set slow. Late in the game in the forward pocket Lyons had a scoring opportunity or at least a chance to set one up when he was leading a Tigers player by 3 or 4 metres and fair dinkum the Tiger player made the ground up in 4 or 5 strides.....Lyons for his size and build is just so slow and it definitely brings his defensive pressure into question for that reason!!

 

[hey shorty]

We saw last night what Lyons level is, a solid but unspectacular player whose glaring lack of pace is an issue. He needs time to settle but he is not going to add much to our lineup IMO.

Just looking at the DT point tracker, all of McKernans points came in the 1st quarter. Did he play another 3 quarters and not touch it?

He was injured in the second quarter.

Trade bait in my opinion.

Lyons to Melbourne

pick 35 or thereabouts to GWS

Jonathan Giles to the Crows

 

[Mattrox]

Are people going to stop obsessing about Giles? We are not going to get him. We are better off going for younger GWS players.

Like?

We need a ruckman - who can we get?

He fits a need.

 

[NTRabbit]

He fits a need.

He's also not coming because he wants to play AFL every week and will only go somewhere he can, which was the point of Mattrox's comment

how ironic - he isn't playing AFL today and hasn't played since round 10 and isn't injured.

But him fitting a need and him coming are 2 different things. He would have come when he was uncontracted if he was going to.

 

[hey shorty]

His situation was different last year though, fallen out of favour big time.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

however, at that time he was playing for GWS on a regular basis. He has not played AFL since round 10 this year.

That isn't happening anymore with Mumford, Boyd, Patton and Cameron over taking him and delegating him to the magoos.

I imagine the GWS would be looking at removing a number of existing contracts and we could pick him up at a cheap rate.

Injured

 

[dplggr47]

I never noticed Jarryd Lyons lack of pace until the Richmond game. I felt bad for him. He's just way too slow.

We only need a backup or a replacement for Jenkins... depends on how they want to go.

I'd rather just use a low draft pick.

Our early draft picks and trades need to net a lot more pressing needs, outside midfielder/good ball movers/ 3rd tall/ 2nd tall (depends on Hartigan)

Anyone that thinks high draft picks aren't important really needs to take a closer look at some of the players on our list.

 

[NTRabbit]

Which is why he'll leave GWS for somewhere he will get a game - and that place is not Adelaide while Jacobs is on our list

He can play as that 3rd forward come ruckman you know.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How badly injured is mckernan as would be a chance of replacing jj…

McKernan injured first qr early.

Looks like out for a few weeks.

I believe Osbourne is a ruckman ...is he not?

Jack is no more a ruckman than Ozzy is sane.

He is only a ruckman in body size, not talent, ability of football knowledge.

What makes you say that ?

Does he spend a lot of time in the ruck or predominately FF?

 

[hugecannon]

I've seen a couple of games and haven't seen Osbourne contest a bounce in the middle at all. Doesn't even seem to ruck that much in the forward line as usually Gus or Smack are resting down there.

as a key forward and when he does ruck - he looks like a fish out of water.

Won't make it.
