2017 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

[MSB ROYS]

They're nowhere near as annoying as most AFL commentators

True...

 

[Jivlain]

Ouch, quarter of two halves right there.

 

[Crawb]

They have probably rushed him back, no idea why really, to what benefit?

Had to play this to qualify for NEAFL finals I believe.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Well at least we only lost the quarter by 2 pts. That last one a pt, not a goal. Josh Clayton developing an inside game one of the few positives so far.

Not sure of the wisdom of playing Ballenden when we're crying out for more run. Improved effort from William that quarter, but he still has a fair way to go. Can't see us winning the premiership if we keep playing like this.

According to Sydney Uni's twitter if Giants win the last quarter by two goals or more, Uni will finish above you guys on 2nd. However I wonder if that's not a bad thing as 2nd gets a week off next week and then would have to front up for finals when the senior team is done for the year.

Big Mac taking some important marks and goals in the last quarter.

Mac and Eagles keeping us in it really.

Good composure from Rueben as well!

 

[pulpdriver]

lol that bounce. Ball is clearly on our side

 

[Comeback Lions]

William you beauty!

Not really confident on their mathematics there. Sure, it's a tough job maintaining a percentage of 160 or so, but I think we'd need to lose by a bit more than that.

 

[pulpdriver]

Yay!

 

[iBeng]

Welp there we go, thriller indeed.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Just snuck in for the win by 5 pts...

Schache getting in an argument with some teammates :/

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing

 

[Nunez]

Watched the last 5 mins. Big O and Ballenden were huge in making contests.

 

[Comeback Lions]

So they had 100 more disposals 400 to 300, yet we lost the tackle count 69 to 65. Campbell Walker leads our tackle count with 8 tackles and he tackles like he means it. An academy player! God I love the way he plays. Some of Hanley's and Cox's tackles were poor, they don't pin the arms and tackle with enough vigour. Tackling needs serious work.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Hopefully we'll have the scope to select a better balanced side for the finals.

Campbell's an u19s academy player, I wonder if he's a chance for a rookie spot. Been very good for us all year.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Was great seeing Eagles in the ruck. Great game from him. Gee I hope we give him another year... could be a Podsiadly type late bloomer. Has genuine speed for a big man and is fierce at the contest. Great contested mark. Our best player today for mine.

 

[Lazza16]

Does anyone know who is eligible for the finals from the senior team. I would guess Close, Beams n Allison....not sure about J Walker or Witho or Keays or Schacke

Yeah, I agree with you. Was asking that last week. He came back from an ACL, I believe. Offers more than Grewar and Hanley in my book. Bit underwhelmed by our rookies today, except for Eagles. Hammer didn't do much. Decent last quarter from William, but not good early. Hinge tries hard but not sure that he has enough class. Will be interesting to see how they all go in the finals.

Schache getting in an argument with some teammates :/

Schache also had a pretty heated chat with Hammelman in last week's game against the Suns.

Close, Schache, Claye beams, Keays, Allison qualify.
Witho, Josh Walker, Tom Cutler don't I think.

 

[Mr Ripper]

I have: Allison, Hamma, JJ, Skinner, Dawson, Grewar, Hanley, Lyons, Jono, Clayton, Eagles, Hinge, Oscar, Reubs, Paps, Archie, Claye, Cedric, RoBew, Close, Keays and Schache all eligible for finals selection. Only 16 will be allowed to play the Semi if it's against a non-AFL side.

That's 22. Plus Jack Frost, who seems to have disappeared, from club injury lists, at least.

Here's hoping we play Gold Coast so they can all play. We've never played with 6 top ups this year. Do you know what happened to Sam Copland? Is he injured? Was impressive early in the season, we could do with him back.
