Yeah, I think Lohmann demonstrated that he can play wing. With the versatility to go forward as well. But I would still have Ah Chee ahead of him, unless he’s injured? He only played 35% game time, did he get injured?
I was in the grandstand, just near the race, in the middle of it and I had binoculars, so definitely sure that Lohmann lined up on the wing in the first half, can’t remember the 2nd half, didn’t focus on that. Thought Smith was useful with taps at centre bounces too and his work when it hit the...
On Hippy this week for the Happiness is a warm Gunston. Thought the big ground would suit him. Now we just need to put the foot down in the third. Go Lions!
I was behind the goals last year, on the right hand goals as you look at the map and there were plenty of Lions fans there. Will be on the hill this year. Doubt you will drown in Beer wine & spirits supporters anywhere. Good view from anywhere on this ground and the forecast is good. Go Lions!
A comeback win for the ages. 16pts down 23 minutes into the third, to snatching the lead with a minute to go. How good was that. Despite injuries, we can go deep into the finals this year. Bring on next week.
I thought of the players that came in, Madden showed the most and would be good with a stronger team around him. We need his pace in the side. The loss was predictable because we have been reliant on our defence to win games and with Rich, Andrews, Answerth, Coleman and Gardiner out we were...
I agree they’re totally different players. The draft is all about comparisons, players are ranked after all and my gut feeling is that Fletcher is somewhere in the second round. I dont think I was unfair at all, just commenting on what I saw. Cheers.
I watched 3 quarters, missed the first, and I also saw the Allies game against Vic Metro, when he didn’t play. I didn't have access to any stats… he did have a very good last quarter. He didn’t impress me in the way that Will Ashcroft did and I didn’t think he was the best mid out there. I’m...
Fletcher tackled well, was quick with his hands and started off a couple of scoring chains, but I was not super impressed with his game. I don’t think he won enough of the ball to really stand out playing inside. The Allies won by two goals with our Academy players Josh Cooper and Shadeau Brain...
Allies v Vic Metro, Rooty Hill.
A very enjoyable game that the Vics won by 16 pts. There are game reports elsewhere, so just a few comments on the players that impressed me.
Will Ashcroft.He wins contested footy over and over again and gets to contests. Hardly came off the ball in the first...
Really looking forward to going to the VIC Metro and Allies game this Saturday at Blacktown. I went a few years ago when Chace Jones and Sam Walsh were both impressive. Apart from Fletcher and obviously Will Ashcroft playing for Victoria is there anyone from Lions Academy I should watch out for...
Great to get a comeback win first game of the season. We kicked almost half of our goals in the last quarter and kept them to 1. That’s not easy to do in the modern game, though no doubt we were helped by their injuries. We will improve from here and it’s already an improvement on last year...
Great to have Answerth back. His attack on the ball and judgement has been great. Cockatoo looks yards ahead of last year. We will be a better side in 22!
This is a bit left field, but depending on what happens with Starcevich and the backs, I’d consider playing Lester forward. He competes and can mark it and at the moment would be better than Fullarton.
Didn’t ruck at all in the twos today. Archie and Fullarton did the rucking. Not going to be rushed into the ones. We seem more interested in developing Henry as a KPF.
Huge last quarters from Matho, Joyce and Berry. Coleman marked and cramped, gave it off to Michael who got us level. Fullerton kicked the winning behind. Great team effort to come from 2+ goals down to snatch it. Dominated centre clearances, that’s what won it for us.
Payne and Answerth both not selected to play twos this week and we have a bye next week for the reserves, so cant see either coming in on no match practice. Tom Berry a chance, though I’d prefer to see Tom Joyce debut. Jarrod Berry not selected this week either, so I can’t see him playing...
Just back from the game and what was noticeable watching it live was how they outran us in the second half. We did not defend fast transition well tonight and when they went quickly we weren't able to apply enough pressure. A disappointing second half, particularly the last quarter when we did...
