Lions regulars Allen Christensen and Lewis Taylor were forced out in a selection squeeze and impressed in the 112-point NEAFL practice match win.

Despite heavy humidity, tall Tom Cutler joined midfielders Ben Keays and Corey Lyons in kicking three goals apiece to put up his hand for a recall.

Cedric Cox and Nick Robertson added two majors each, while 19-year-old draftee Noah Answerth proved why the Lions were desperate to select him after injury troubles in his top-age TAC Cup year.

While Ryan Lester sat out as the carryover emergency, draftee Connor McFadyen provided a link in attack in his first outing after an interrupted pre-season.

Good to see Mc Fad back so early.

Down 0.2 to 2.3 at QT. Skills just awful. Ballenden a shining light in defence.

Against who and where?

Against who and where?

Gold Coast at Metricon

 

[Mr Ripper]

HT 2.8 plays 6.3. Better, but ball use still below par. Goals to Squiz and Bundy. Thought Eagles had a strong term. Suns more desperate. NEAFL umpires do not know what a push in the back is.

Nothing has changed in a week then...

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Bit of a worry that skills are down given the senior guys in the side and the better rookies playing alongside them.

 

[M Malice]

Are Madden and Fullarton playing and if so how are they going?

Been comedy capers today.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Are Madden and Fullarton playing and if so how are they going?

No and yes and fair.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Don’t know if it was pre-arranged or whether the electric cattle prod came out during the break, but the intensity went up about 400% that quarter. Now us 9.11 them 6.3. Some nice touches to Fullarton. Cox, Bundy, Squiz, Cuts all lifted significantly. Suns down to one or two on the bench not helping their cause.

 

[Mr Ripper]

14.13 to 7.5 final score. Suns finished benchless. Think Joyce may have a groin.

 

[M Malice]

Was that the first game of the new season or another practice match?

 

[POBT]

Think Joyce may have a groin.

Injury or John Longmire style?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Was that the first game of the new season or another practice match?

Practice match. Season begins next weekend.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

14.13 to 7.5 final score. Suns finished benchless. Think Joyce may have a groin.

We need that sort of second half turnaround in the seniors.

 

[jackess]

Squizzy, Bundy or Cuts for Bastinac?

 

[M Malice]

Squizzy, Bundy or Cuts for Bastinac?

If Cutler has satisfied the coaches re his deficiencies I'd go with him as he offers more of what we need.

This weekend: Gold Coast v Brisbane - Sunday, March 31, 10am, Metricon Stadium

Cedric Cox bagged three goals for Brisbane in its 50-point practice match victory over Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium. First-round draftee Ely Smith won plenty of the footy and tackled well. Allen Christensen and Lewis Taylor worked hard through the midfield, with the former also adding a couple of goals.

The Lions booted just two goals in the opening half but came home hard to win comfortably, 14.13 (97) to 7.5 (47).

Is Cedric playing in the forward half in the reserves? Kicked multiple goals last weekend as well.

Doubt he’s snagging them from the back half and he’s not a midfielder

 

[chopperduck]

Cox has played HF as well as HB in the past. In saying that, he could be slotting goals from HB very easily, he is a more offensive type defender.
