Our fixture is weird - our next 5 we should win all of them, but realistically I’ll be happy with 4.
Then our next 5 after that are TOUGH. We should be 1st or 2nd after round 7.
What a win! Yes it was wobbly at the end but we got there. Cats missing a few but so were we, it was good to play them early while their midfield still seems underdone.
Hollands my god what a beauty. And Acres really impressed me too. Charlie and Cripps were massive and great to see Ed back...
LOB’s kick would’ve hit Harry on the chest if he hadn’t stumbled and we’d be calling him a bold hero.
Or was he supposed to just stop and let Rioli mow him down?
Yep we have plenty of diverse midfield depth options and moves we can make, even after cutting some fringe players.
Acres is straight in plus youngsters Philp, Carroll and possibly our pick 10 if a mid should be pushing for opportunities next year along with our existing options.
Ely Smith had huge stats in his U18 champs and TAC in the strongest draft year of recent times. Injuries have stuffed him at times along the way since then but Lions midfield is just so hard to break into. I don’t know what his story was this year but he didn’t dominate VFL or anything.
We...
I agree but after our horrid luck in the last couple of rounds…plus harking back to when Diesel was robbed of a Brownlow of his own, I couldn’t celebrate til his name was read.
So happy for him, absolute champion.
Yep, and under a new coach there’s every chance someone like a Setterfield or LOB could unexpectedly pop up and have a big year.
Someone will surprise, the talent is there, hopefully plenty do.
Ok useless was probably too strong a word but he struggled to get into the game from where I was sitting. 4 touches 2 tackles and some 1 percenters in a 45 point drubbing was very ordinary - but he’ll be better for the run. I would’ve preferred Cuningham but now he’s in we need to see Betts get...
Betts was useless aside from that one brilliant goal. Dow poor, Casboult poor. Parks was great on debut but his disposal is a worry. Cottrell was last man in but he’s super fit, will be good at Metricon.
We tired so much and Suns get 2 extra days on us, but it’s crazy to make multiple changes...
Let’s please not ever be in the same salary cap crisis that Pies are in.
Loving today SO much watching them self-destruct😂 but yeah, it’s also a warning for other clubs to not heck list management up that much!
I hope we circle the Suns this year, plenty of decent and still young players who can’t even get a game now with their ridiculously talented young group.
Particularly likes of Will Brodie, Fiorini, even 2 Metre Peter.
We’d be able to get these guys cheap too. Not sure on their contract...
Yep!
I played an intraleague match when I was about 14. Kicked across goal, intercepted and the guy kicked a point fortunately. Still, I was rightfully dragged and never saw another minute. I even argued “But it was to (Daniel) Harford!!” But the coach (rightfully) didn’t give a s**t..
