Yeah doesn't make much sense does it? Looking likely that Golby, Cutler and Robertson will play seniors though right?Yeah, nah; that won't be the team
All three named in our starting 18, so very likely
Looking forward to Cutler and Robertson adding a bit of grunt to the team, and looking forward to Golby kicking it to the other team

So Paine got injured again? Dam I was really hoping he would be able to get a chance this year to play at least ONE game. *sigh*
A game we should have won easily. Extremely poor kicking for goal, especially from Staker. Also ran out of steam in the last
Don't know what to make of this bloke. He is an imposing physical hunk of manhood, honed to within an inch of perfection. I have no doubt he would be the trainers' favourite- weights, running, you name it, he'd be near the top. A great athletic example- 196cm and 102kg's of potential mayhem.
But a footballer??? His kicking for goal, surely the object of the exercise, was simply appalling. On my count, he must have kicked 4 goals 8 behinds or something like it- all, repeat all, of them easy kicks. Could, and should, have won the game on his own. And actual physical impact? Not a great deal.
Someone should tell him to pack on a bit of beef and see how we go.
A little cameo- when Maguire was knocked out in a cowardly incident that should see a 12 week suspension, the only 2 players I could see not involved in the subsequent carry on were- you guessed it, Staker and his opponent.
Harwood started well but faded, as would be expected- my favourite bit was when he, legally, totally cleaned up an onrushing opponent. Something we sadly lack. Give him another week or two.
ZO'B was everywhere but lacked real impact. As per in other words.
The Hammer coming along nicely. Has an innate goal sense which can't be taught.
Paine going well until he got what seemed to be a serious ankle injury.
Lester BOG by a street until taken off as reserve for tomorrow.
Many Firsts player there. And the coach. Aish friendly with Merret's family. Rog still in some sort of legging and apparently getting injections of something or other.
Berger very good but must acquire a bit of mongrel- my guess is it'll never happen.
Just my impressions.

Ask any West Coast fan what they think of Staker Tassie4ever. They all thought he was soft as butter. Sadly we need him to straighten us up and offer a target but Leppa might not be interested seeing as he wont be with club next year.

Growing Old (dis)Gracefully
Quick summary:
Undermanned Lions (started with only 12 listed players) good for their lead at half time, but should have been well ahead - but for bad kicking.
Staker was dominant up forward, but could not turn that into goals - finished with 5.9 (with 2 of the goals from 50m frees to the goal line)
Hammelmann got less of the ball, but turned his opportunities into 5.2.
Lester was our best until he went out the game sometime in the 3rd Qtr (Emergency for tomorrow ????), and showed why we shouldn't use him as anything other than a "big bodied" inside mid. Was sorely missed when the game was on the line in the last Qtr. For most of that period our centre bounce midfield consisted of O'Brien, Clayton (normally a fwd) and one of the "kids", and Ainslie, more often than not, got first use.
Any advantage the hot conditions may have provided against a team from Canberra were negated when Maguire (knocked out) & Paine (appeared to be an ankle) went down early in the 3rd. Along with Lester's absence, the remaining listed players & the kids battled manfully.
Maguire was lucky not to suffer anything more serious than being momentarilly knocked out, and a swollen lip (according to both Manny Lynch & Mitch Robinson), from a poorly disguised late spoil that was, in reality, a cheap "king hit" to an unsuspecting opponent (from Bennett, who was, incidentally, Ainslie's best).
O'Brien ran & worked hard all day (and was the first to fly the flag after Maguire was felled).
My second look at both Watts & Beasley, and both show promise, but with differing needs: Watts needs to put on some muscle (very skinny kid) and Beasley needs another solid pre-season, to be able to make repeated efforts.
Hammelmann, similarly to Watts, needs some bulk - was very good on the lead - invariably marks when he can get separation, but struggles in body on body contests.
Jury still out on Clayton - would like to see him do more in games - but early days I guess.
Likewise for Billy Evans (another who will benefit from a full pre-season).
Was good to see Harwood back on deck - he will obviously benefit from the run - lets hope he gets a good run at it.
Leuey rucked all day - hard to judge because you expect him to dominate at this level.
McGuinness & Dawson didn't play. I had heard that JMac was injured, but I wonder whether Leppa is considering Dawson as a Late inclusion tomorrow (another debutant if so - fair chance Rocky may not make it), or mayne he was also injured (????).
ps The banter coming out of the Club re Mitch Robbo's impact was in evidence today. There was a healthy number of the Seniors in attendance, but Robbo was actively involved offering encouragement from over the fence - was good to see.
