Bad week at Lions. Embarrassing player-coach blue. Tom Rockliff fails concussion test and Dayne Beams battling a knee injury @superfooty

Half expected Rockliff. But Beams?

Damn.

McGuane is not injured ? So should we expect to see him this week ?

 

[Matt_BL]

Merrett seems to have one of those Staker '2-3 week' type injuries. Might be we don't see him for a fair while.

 

[iBeng]

Man this is going to hurt our reserves side.



Paines cooked. Merrett might be cooked. Someone help us.

 

[royboys4eva]

When Merrett missed the round 2 match with North the injury was called a slight hamstring tear. So now it appears he won't be back until maybe round 8 or later. So that's 7 weeks for a hamstring. Something doesn't add up. Far too many injuries for my liking.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Not going to this one. Thank goodness for Mother's Day, otherwise I might be tempted to go and watch Carlton beat Brisbane by lots. Still recovering from our disgusting performance against Nth Melbourne last time Brisbane came to Melbourne. The club just can't expect Melbourne based supporters to keep turning up to watch pathetic performance after pathetic performance.

For those who do go, I hope the players at least give a yelp.

Putting it out there.....Lions by 17

I am with you mate. I am just hopefully Beams and rocky will get up! Hendo being out will expose them. He fills a hole where ever he needs them. It will be a new lions team who show up to play on Sunday!!!

 

[lukiuslion]

Carlton will win by 70+ points.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

I've lost hope of us being able to win.... I hope they surprise me

 

[Balony_pony16]

The talk or Joke around the AFL clubs is that everyone thinks you just need to get 8 goals and you beat the lions. Blues will easily score more then 8 goals... 40pt+ lost to us

 

[Gibbo_88]

After seeing that injury list, the only way I will watch us the next 2 weeks is if there is absolutely nothing else I have to do. This is going to be awful.

Sorry lions

How on Earth would you know that? It's true but not sure how you would know it.

Hoping Rocky is fit for this week but l don't think they will risk him with him failing the concussion test. So now Beams is battling a knee injury and Merret is another 2-3 weeks away with injury? What The *? I havent seen any questions relating to him on that Lions TV Injury video thing they do. I thought it was only supposed to be a week or two?
Way too many injuries every single year, someone needs to get fired. Haas or the other guy or both.

Problem is it is now becoming common that we lose by 10 goals and it is a surprise if we win or get within 15 points.

Carlton by 60 points, not even joking here.
