doesn't get up, Kai Lohmann in.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Lets give the Tigers game a Mulligan.

A TALL CAN NEVER BE SUB AGAIN!!!!!

Outs- Rhys Mathieson, Mitch Robinson, Nakia Cockatoo.

Ins- Daniel Rich, Dev Robertson, Jaxon Prior.

If Zac Bailey doesn't get up, Kai Lohmann in.

Agree

And either include Fort for McStay or don't play Fort at all

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Prior hasn't been too brilliant at VFL level since coming back the last couple of weeks. He's been okay, but not much more than that.

I'd keep it pretty simple with:

In - Starcevich, Rich, Robertson
Out - Cockatoo, Mathieson, Robinson

 

[M Malice]

Agree

And either include Fort for McStay or don't play Fort at all

yEP, I thought the big O was having a really good game until Fort came on and that stuffed his momentum.

Note- I thought Lyons was pretty good today and pips Rhys as the one to stay in, both can not play, we need another runner.

I'd keep it pretty simple with:

In - Starcevich, Rich, Robertson
Out - Cockatoo, Mathieson, Robinson

Ah forgot about Starc, OP adjusted.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

We need to drop about five players. Matho, Robbo, Lyons, Cockatoo and McStay should all go. But of course, Fagan will keep all his favourites in the team, so it'll just be Cockatoo and Matho. I expect Robbo to stay in.

Just quietly, Linc has been pretty poor for a while now. I'd have dropped him too if not for the Bailey injury.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

McStay out Fort it.

Really.

I thought he was largely invisible until late, when he received a couple of hand balls out congestion, to then find space in tight to kick the ball forward.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Did nothing in the contest but his ball use was good.

 

[M Malice]

Really.

I thought he was largely invisible until late, when he received a couple of hand balls out congestion, to then find space in tight to kick the ball forward.

Yep, just going the eye test I thought he was good, I rarely look at stats, with Matho in the inside mid rotation he is never going to get as much of the pill in contests as he did prior to that move.

I'd be happy for us to move on from Matho or Lyons and give Dev a go... if you had to omit one of them to get Dev in who would you omit if it was up to you??

I'm prepared to show my ignorance - What the heck is a mulligan?

 

[M Malice]

It is a golfing term, means you just forget all about that game and pretend it never happened and move on to the next one.

IIRC Fagan used it after the Bombers loss.

Thank you. I don't golf obviously.

Out : Zorko, Robbo, McStay, Cockatoo, Lyons, Gardner
In : Starc, Dev, Lohmann, Prior, Tunstill, Payne

The Lions are too slow, and have too many players that have lost considerable pace. Even Zorko today looked slow. We are 5 players away that are developed from really make the big difference. We wont win it playing these older guys who are a little shot.

 

[harvester]

Out - Robinson, Mathieson, Mcstay
In - Lohmann, Robertson, Fort
Sub Cockatoo

 

[dlanod]

Good choice.

Both.

But that won’t happen.

Nor do we currently have the players to bring in for both.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Thoughts on McStay ? I see no reason to play him anymore

 

[briztoon]

Out : Zorko, Robbo, McStay, Cockatoo, Lyons, Gardner
In : Starc, Dev, Lohmann, Prior, Tunstill, Payne

The Lions are too slow, and have too many players that have lost considerable pace. Even Zorko today looked slow. We are 5 players away that are developed from really make the big difference. We wont win it playing these older guys who are a little shot.

I agree.

But we won’t do it this season. If we did, we would signalling that we believe we have no chance at a flag this year.

Our only choice is to continue with our senior players, and reset over the off-season.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Zorko looked slow because he looked hesitant to stretch out. Few times he didn't go hard when he should have. Mental thing

 

[BangyBangy]

Outs: Robbo, Lyons / Matho (you decide), Cockatoo, Fort / McStay (you decide).

Ins: Rich (because they just will), Starc, Dev, Lohmann.

 

[Elixuh]

Good choice.

Outs: Robbo, Lyons / Matho (you decide), Cockatoo, Fort / McStay (you decide).

Ins: Rich (because they just will), Starc, Dev, Lohmann.

I really like these ins, not sure who you would take out but right on.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Zorko looked slow because he looked hesitant to stretch out. Few times he didn't go hard when he should have. Mental thing

Yeah, also thought Keidean looked quite reluctant to break out of anything more than a canter after half time.

 

[Nunez]

In: Starce, Rich, Robertson
Out: Cockatoo, Robinson, Lyons/Matho

Still to drop Cocky who was quite good, but need to fit the two defenders in. Robertson absolutely needs to come in and one of the slow inside mids needs to go. Matho led the team in clearances but the majority were poor kicks resulting in turnovers. He's at his best when he's handballing the pill but looked panicked. Still, 8 clearances to Lyons 2.

Robinson is done. I'd rather Answerth on the wing.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Out: Adams, McStay, Robinson, Cockatoo, Bailey
In: Lester, Fort, Prior, Robertson, Madden
