[Section 5]

Didn’t realise he was that short, so definitely an Answerth replacement.

With Payne and Answerth out for half the year, Starce maybe gone, Coleman and Doedee having fitness issues and Zorko turning 36, we are going to have to bolster the backline this trade period.

I would be happy if only Zorko was turning 36 next year

We have Brain and hopefully Beecken waiting to step in. Not sure if McKenna will stay or leave, he would be another option too.

I really hope Coleman is super diligent this off-season so he comes back with peak fitness next year.

So wisely or not just looking at the Starc trade thread ...
Bit mystified as to why Sam Marshall at pick 25 was/is a first round pick.
Surely there are only 18 clubs - I always thought first round is like 1 -18 ?
No doubt missing something here .... makes no sense to me.

FA compo and father son and academy bid matching pushes out the first round.

Thanks thought that might be it but I couldn't see the numbers matching - anyhow, so that makes the first round random as such - it could be various lengths - so not really a first round pick then. I mean I know he was "officially" but ..... well [sigh] they do know how to make it all more bloody complicated than it should be.

Geez, 37! He’s getting up there. Even more of a reason to add some options.

Also on Trade Radio, Twomey said pick 15 from West Coast for Starcevich. Off to the West Coast board.

See you in a week...

I'm guessing linc would be the likely replacement for Ah Chee?

Or McLachlan or Annable. Reckon there will be a fair bit of competition for that spot

I think Gestalt is the best description of our team - no mega superstars but everyone together makes up something greater than the parts.

As opposed to the current Collingwood (and now STK) method of Here is the superstar help him to make the team win.

Maybe whenever anyone talks about the salary gap all Lions users just respond with #Gestalt

We probably have more players that can be best on ground than any other team.

A major factor in them not being mega superstars is that they are not playing for a Victorian team.

Jon Ralph approves this post.

It's so fantastic to be in the position the Lions are on list development. I don't think it's even arguable we have the best young players of all the clubs and 3 nineteen year olds now with Grand final experience is brilliant.

It's like we shake the proverbial tree and another ones falls out, last year came Logan Morris, this year Ty Gallop and Sam Marshall, before these 2 was Jasper Fletcher, Darcy Wilmot and Kai Loman. Then there were the expected stars in the Ashcroft boys. Next season Daniel Annable. I think we have been on a Draft streak since McCluggage and Berry pretty much.

and Sam Draper. Maybe more but it's like we have gone from begging players to come and stay to have choices now.

If you were a stock market investor and the Lions a business, I'd be investing in that, so much to look forward to. Yep we have to keep them but in that, is a core for another 8 to 10 years.

I think we should all just step back and look at where we are, 3 Grand Finals in a row and, probably, quite a few more as we stay in the very top teams for the foreseeable future. We have had massive injury tolls, big long term injuries and we have cover the positions with players that may well be better than those out injured. Just fantastic.

If I was to look 3 or 4 years out I'd say maybe some Key Backman after Andrews and Payne and a small forward that can be defensive post Charlie Cameron

which might be more urgent (I have Zorko replaced by Kiddy Coleman and Lester replaced by Doedee).

Just a great place to be in for us, a club that works as one entity, every department working seamlessly for susses. Look at other clubs all disorganised and imploding, desperately chasing players and we, well we remember those dark days BUT now we are in the sunlight and before this is over we will be the kings of the jungle for a good period yet.

Would be their best signing this season if they make it happen

 

[BrisVegasDru]

Can't see our academy rorts thread, and I know Briz doesn't rate him, but Cooper Hodge played in curtain raiser today

.The lady hosting the show automatically said that's great for Hawthorn but Shane Crawford said not necessarily and suggested he was much more likely to Join the Lions.

Lived in Brisbane 11 years, mates in the academy etc, draft him as the waterboy if we have to, just to stick it to the Vic's (30 years ago I was once one)

Hodge would be the third pick from what I’ve seen of the under agers in the vfl this year. (Haven’t watch the game today). Not sure if he will be a need if we pick up the other two.

But I love the idea of matching a bit.

I haven’t heard much about his younger brothers, but if one of them turned out to be an absolute gun might be worth trying to keep the brothers together.

Wasn't wearing any in the march to the G. Probably wanted to remain more low-key, could change when he's there.
