Preview Round 15 v Sydney Swans

[pOleK]

I'm gonna say give paparone a break in the reserves (along with ZOB and Beasely) and put Robertson as sub. Best thing I can see happening.

 

[Betty Noir]

Been out of the footy loop a while, but by all accounts we are going to get our ar$e$ reamed. Can't see any way out of this one I'm sorry.

That's what people said about the Fremantle game

That's what people said about the Fremantle game

We lost by 6 goals. The effort was awesome, and we could argue whether it was a 'good' or 'bad' loss, but it was still a 6 goal loss. Better than many/most of us expected, but thumped all the same.

 

[Scubaveg]

This must be the first time Rockcliff, Hanley, Rich, Beams and Redden have played in the same team, no?

 

[scott_the_man]

If Hanley and Rocky return; it'll be the first time we see our top 5 midfielders out there together:

Beams - Rockliff - Hanley - Redden - Rich

with Robinson, Zorko, Christensen and Taylor providing the support

Providing the below are fit and ready to go:

Ins: Rockliff, Hanley, Merrett & Harwood.
Outs: Aish, Beasley, Bourke & Lester.

Still missing Stefarn though, so our midfield isn't quite at full strength just yet

Yep. We've got a pretty healthy list ATM. Just need big Stef back.

 

[Kevvo]

He's good to go I think.
Was close last week.
Trained well from reports and was coming back via the twos but he's on the wing.

I think that with Mitch out, Nick is hugely important for our hard edge and intensity of effort. Well worth bringing straight back IMO.

IMO Luey at his best can influence the game as much, if not more than Stef can. If Luey can do what he did last week, and our midfield clicks, we could win. In fact, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if it is a similar game to this one:

For some reason, Jed's mark strikes me as a particularly Jeddish thing to do. His best moments are when he is diving at something.

 

[AFLQLD]

Going into this game Justin Clarke has the highest percentage of time on ground of anyone in the AFL.

The value of him continues to grow.

97.5% which is 2% higher than the next highest player in the AFL.

wasn't he in the top 5 for spoils last year as well?

 

[iBeng]

He was pretty high for 1%ers.

 

[jackess]

ZoB, Beasley and Lester the emergencies.

Richards out for them.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Leppa and I clearly disagree on the value of Lester

 

[jackess]

Centre clearance differential: Brisbane Lions are +5 when Matthew Leuenberger or Ryan Lester attend a centre bounce

Surely Lester offers more than someone like Bewick.

 

[Skoob]

Leppa and I clearly disagree on the value of Lester

I guess with Rocky & Hanley in, his role of late pushes him out.

On another note, Sydney's interchange had me confused for a second;

 

[Ironmonger]

Damn. I was hoping Jack Hiscox would be selected. Then we could talk about his performance. Repeatedly. Using his full name. While trying not to giggle like idiots.

 

[jackess]

Yeah it would have been good if Longmire had selected his Hiscox.

 

[iBeng]

I dont know jack all about this Hiscox kid.

 

[luthor]

Yeah it would have been good if Longmire had selected his Hiscox.

Hiscox just not big enough apparently.

Needs to fill out before he gets a look in.

Ah, one eyed supporter.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I really don't understand Lester getting dropped. He seems very solid and has had a pretty decent year. I'd even prefer Lester up forward and Staker sent to a retirement home tbh.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

feel left out here but I don't see the fuss in lester. Probably leppas most frustrating player. Brilliant 1 week Missing the next 5
