Non-Lions Footy Discussion

Tom Bell playing a old fashioned CHF role.

If Carlton really is keen on Aish and vice versa he'd be on my list of what the return package should include.

Played well against us & in recent weeks

Yeah, he's had a decent year and would complement our group.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Glad that game is over. Only interesting thing was how many buddy would kick.

 

[Pacman82]

Yeah, he's had a decent year and would complement our group.

Solid unit too isn't he, wouldn't mind having around forward in an attempt to play the Brown role

Not sure he'd ever be able to fill the Brown role we've missed but I'd certainly like him bullocking through stoppages and putting physical pressure on the oppositon. Handy extra target up forward too.

 

[Pacman82]

Yeah for sure. Notice I said attempt not fore fill.

 

[Betty Noir]

Geez my heart goes out to Carlton.


















suck s**t.

Thinking about it, I would be pretty happy with that effort and result if I were a Carlton supporter. They were totally outclassed but showed endeavour. We've had games against Sydney where we've been smashed in things like contested footy but Carlton held their own.

Cripps is turning into a very good footballer and is actually what Gibbs and Murphy need - a really big-bodied clearance machine who allows those guys to play a little looser. I think Graham shows something in a similar extracting capacity. Bell is obviously playing quite well. That would give them 5 decent midfield/running types. They probably need to at least double that and, in the next year or two, that means a coach coming in and making something of Yarran, hoping Thomas gets back to a decent level and perhaps expanding the repetoire of a Curnow, Buckley etc. Kreuzer would make a significant difference - Wood hasn't been awful but he's just limited.

There is a rebuild required but games like last night come probably be seen as somewhat positive for the future. But it is going to take time.

 

[Skoob]

They played better without Murphy's "leadership", no surprises there.

 

[Ceebee]

They certainly seemed more committed.
A much better effort.

A contest of little intensity. Swans players happy to get thru' without injury I suspect.

 

[Nuggo]

Yeah you know when Sydney are only playing at 75%, their foot soldiers tend to standup more and slightly outshine their guns.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I hate the Bombers like all sane AFL fans but max respect to Fletcher. 400 games in a key position is extraordinary.

Regardless of the Aish situation, I would be keen on getting Bell to play as a big inside mid. Does anyone know what his contract situation is?

Carlton can't be looking like a good home at the moment, and he is a Queenslander.

According to Wikipedia he actually played a handful of games for the Lions reserves (as a top up) before getting drafted by Carlton via the rookie draft in 2012 (BTW he is about to turn 24). It is a shame we overlooked him.

 

[Lace Out]

I think Bell would hang around,he is going to get nice contracts at a club like Carlton over the next few years

 

[Hollow Knight]

Jack Martin subbed after 50 secs. Suns midfield injury list is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Port are really in trouble.

yeah it's a top effort. If Leuy has his agility we'd be right for a full back for the next 20 years

Who broke Port? I wanna thank them.

 

[Hollow Knight]

West Coast exposed them, we humiliated them. Joint effort.

Vossy.
