My boy basti ROBBED yet again.

Literally crying right now.

 

[jackess]

Lester to Sexton?

 

[Nunez]

Smaller and faster. Called Answerth. Not sure about lester. I know I said 10 mins ago I'll lose my shit but I'll hold onto it until I watch his opponents run away from him.

Given we had several options for that backline spot, I think we can trust in Fagan and co. making the right call based on gameplan etc.

 

[tate13]

I’m not going to slag off one of our own. Lester has been a good servant. I personally think the team has gone past him and his selection is a step backwards, but I’d be the first to cheer if he can perform a Josh Walker-style career turnaround.

 

[Nunez]

My boy basti ROBBED yet again.

Literally crying right now.

Literally shaking.

 

[marooned]

For ****s sake Lester is named. He can’t man anyone up and isn’t at afl standard.He wouldn’t get a run anywhere else.Even heard a kid sledge him last year by saying ‘give me your Gatorade you haven’t earned it’post match.

 

[ZoBlitz]

I love Lester, partly because of how irrationally angry he makes some people.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Lester to Sexton?

Lester will be torched. That’s a terrible
Match up

 

[bato]

Can't wait to see Noah out there. Jet.

 

[M Malice]

Only one I'm a bit disappointed in is Ryan Lester, him and Answerth are both backline players so who goes further up the ground?

 

[jackess]

Lester will be torched. That’s a terrible
Match up

Care to take a wager?

 

[M Malice]

Expecting big games from Tom Cutler and Lewy Taylor, they need to grab their chance.

 

[Comeback Lions]

I really don’t mind who comes in, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned Ryan Lester. He must be a chance to replace Andrews, unless he’s been earmarked as the replacement for Hodge and that’s it. His form in the twos has been good and I’ll be surprised if he’s not in the team in the next few weeks. I’m not convinced about first year/ first game players providing run out of the backline, which players like Bailey and Cox have not been able to do in their first few games. Allison or Hinge are more likely to offer that than Answerth from what I’ve seen, though I’m a little behind in my reserves watching this year.

Well I think I was the only one to call this. Good move by the coaches selecting Ryan Lester. Might trigger first Thursday night meltdown of the year.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Staggered that a slow team like us thinks bringing in Lester is a good idea. I know he has good traits but for mine we’ve seen enough of him to know he’s very much a depth player.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Care to take a wager?

That he gets the job or he does a good job if he does get the job?

 

[buttermuffs]

I mean Lester has been shown to give us a major advantage when he’s at centre clearances, and general stoppages. We didn’t bring him in to wow us, he was brought in because he’s experienced and consistent. He’s a solid player.

Nervous about 2MP and superior Burgess. Both could hurt us with the big A out.

 

[marooned]

Gold Coast must be playing a new recruit called Mollasses so Treacle Lester has a match up

Only one I'm a bit disappointed in is Ryan Lester, him and Answerth are both backline players so who goes further up the ground?

Lester will most likely play as the third tall and Answerth will replace robertson, changes make sense

 

[Comeback Lions]

After two losses it's time for depth, hence Lester, Taylor and Cutler coming in. All good choices.

 

[SonnyBoy1]

Changes make sense would of been good to see either Wooler or Fullerton replace McStay though.

 

[M Malice]

Nervous about 2MP and superior Burgess. Both could hurt us with the big A out.

Burgess has been dropped for Josh Corbett.

 

[BRAB]

Burgess has been dropped for Josh Corbett.

I call Josh Corbett superior Burgess.

 

[Nunez]

People complaining about Lester slowing the team down need to remember we've also brought in Taylor and Cutler - not everyone has to possess super speed.

 

[POBT]

I hadn’t planned on checking BigFooty again tonight but Lester’s selection has made this thread instantly worth reading.
