We're is mitch roidan

Was thinking the same thing.

Maybe they are putting him through a mini pre-season and not rushing him so his body doesn’t break down like sam fletcher

Fletcher Injured again with a quad injury

 

[SUNS]

Riordan they said they are giving him a few weeks to acclimatise to his new settings before playing him. No hurry

 

[briztoon]

Lions are undefeated with a big percentage, right? I'm surprised we're as close as we are with out injuries.

That was the weakest team we’ve fielded this season so far. Just 16 listed players.

Just only 16 listed players

Have we got that many listed players into the NEAFL ever?

Well most games it’s been 21, and one academy kid, Keidean Coleman.

I see from last week's injury list that Rankine is listed as 1-2 weeks. Anyone reckon we give him a crack in the NEAFL for a half this weekend before the bye the week after? This season desperately needs a injection of excitement before it get's ugly and he might be it.

It’s going to be 100 point thrashing by Southport anyway so haven’t got anything to lose

Except for a recurrence of Rankine’s injury.

 

[Peel67skin]

Injury report Rankine back after bye week.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Injury report Rankine back after bye week.

Is that after the bye this year or next?

Considering he didn’t need surgery it’s the longest hammy in history

 

[SandyToes]

I didnt see the game
How did Jizz McLovin go?
Stats seem ok

Club are going to AFL about the NEAFL team they want a bigger list of mature age State League players for NEAFL /Development list. They don't want Club top ups anymore. They have identified this as an issue and want assistance.

Oh good.
They've finally started reading BigFooty

 

[Peel67skin]

Finally, don't need to go on and argue with one of Brisbane poster any more. Definitely need assistance for the GCS NEAFL team.

How do the afl teams work in the vfl because they recruit pure vfl players for their vfl side whereas we have to use local or academy kids

We need a team full of Horlin-Smith's and Leslies and be able to offer spots to guys like Andrew Swallow and Seb Tape and Matty Shaw
This local/Academy bs has to stop
We're nowhere near good enough to accommodate a firsts and seconds development team
I guess cost comes into it which is why we'd need assistance from AF

 

[saintkildaman]

If the AFL give some financial support I can’t see any reasons why there wouldn’t be ex AFL players interesting in coming up on the GC and taking a development role within the NEAFL. Would be such an assistance to the new wave of kids if there are seasoned bodies making them competitive.

I don’t think it’s the financial support that’s the issue I think it’s the way the neafl program is set up it’s been an issue for many years.. there was 2 years the side didn’t win a game under josh Fraser

That's exactly the issue identified

Of course it's financial
A good VFL ex AFL player would want 50,000-100,000 a year to play NEAFL
Where do we find that money?
BBL and Queen etc are starting points but without gambling we're a long way from self sustainability
There's a reason players go to Southport

That’s the other issue creating other external revenue options like other clubs have.. people always mention pokies and pokie venues but a lot of clubs own and run businesses too

under Stephen daniels we were using Southport fringe players who were on match payments as top ups with a sprinkle of academy kids which worked a lot better
