2018 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

Good to see keays and skinner putting in at least

Think this is a case of a few players who have been told of their future, and are just not putting in the effort that is required.

Maybe this shows why we shouldn't tell them of their futures untill after the finals .

 

[Comeback Lions]

To be honest this performance is about where we are at for the season. Finished below them on the ladder... really don't deserve to go further than this. We still have a fair bit of work to do. Pity we haven't played the likes of Aspley and Southport more often rather than depleted AFL clubs.

Can never question his effort

 

[Harris Specter]

Gee that is a weak effort by Dawson.

Skinner has looked very good from what I have seen.

 

[25 years on]

Do we know for sure yet if Matthew Payne is a triple MVP?

Is the main call commentator dad?

Could we rookie list him

 

[BlackGun1]

Ben Keays is a different beast in the NEAFL. Does some fantastic work in tight and rarely fumbles. Still think he has the game to play AFL.

Just a blue collar workhorse. The lack of kick penetration hurts but one of the best workrates i've seen. I back him too.

Mayes looks completely cooked. Wooller has something. Skinner deserves another two years.

Bob Batty is one of the worst people in football. Absolute local club homer.

 

[BlackGun1]

Should probably change my signature now.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Disappointing end to the season.

End of season can't come quick enough for Sam. Horror year for him. Hoping he takes some time to regroup in the off-season, gets back into a better head space and starts enjoying his footy again.

Very much this. Ladder position inflated by beating up on decimated AFL reserves teams. Overall skill level and brand of football well off the pace.

13 goals to 2 after midway through the second

Gee, I didn't realize it was that bad, that is horrendous. Tanked?

Just a bunch of pea hearts and overcoached kids

Nah. I’ve seen us tank several times during the Gubby years and today wasn’t one. Not good enough and off the boil on the day.

Come on jack that's a bit harsh, I didn't think you'd be this bitter from a NEAFL finals loss.

Yeah Ben runs like an AFL player. Needs to do better in one on one marking contests and kick goals instead of behinds. If he can improve those two aspects of his game he could really offer something in the ones.

Hard to say over coached on today’s effort.
Looked like school boy footy today, with very little to no coaching.
Just a tired and lacklustre effort.
Out played by Aspley today.

It's interesting, after last year the extra inter-AFL side matches sounded like a godsend, but then all the community sides adopted the higher-pressure contested style we used last year, picked up some good recruits and doing that with mature players has helped them.

It's good to see the community sides coming strong though.

As for our season, while we have come back to the pack a bit our ladder prediction is mostly the result of a six-week form slump in the middle of the season, not so much the games against the NEAFL sides. Outside of that six week patch we only lost one game.

Haven't been impressed at all watching them play this season. Tends to be losing to decent teams or bearing up on teams full of top ups

Have you watched most of the games? Who out of the young listed guys/academy boys has impressed you?

Coleman has weapons

We know Skinner attacks the ball hard

Wooller a natural but his athleticism worries me.

Cox has class

Not much else.

 

[BuntonRules]

Free kick Spencer every ruck contest unbelievable, Archie given no chance, then when we push forward, there is no clear path, no run, then no pressure acts to keep what ball gets there in.

Every ruck contest he puts his hands in Spencers back. Not much, but as soon as an ump sees that.......

Disappointing effort. Skinner a standout, Wooller can play but too short for mine, Coleman for a rookie spot.

Correct he just hasn’t come on this year, kicking not up to scratch and not strong in the hands, I honestly saw something in Archie 18 months ago, but I struggle to see positives anymore there, when you give frees away you must learn straight away as that umpire won’t tolerate it, but he kept continuing to do it that’s a problem
