2nds 2019 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

[WhiteLionFeva]

I've got no doubt if we lose tonight there will be changes. Happy to go with the experts running our footy team.

Huge win by the neafl squad and the seniors get embarrassed at the G and not one player is rewarded with promotion for this weeks game. And a 5 day break too. First howler from our match committee this season. Big HOWLER.

Because playing a team half full of amateurs is comparable to playing one of the stronger sides in the AFL?

Midseason draft rules:

• Players who have committed to another year with a Northern or Next Generation Academy are ineligible

(from https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-04...les-clubs-allowed-to-test-up-to-three-players)

That is my contention, that rule needs to be removed. I feel that it should not affect their mid season availability to be drafted simply because they have committed to another year with an academy. Once an academy has passed drafting them during their draft year, why should they then restrict the players earning potential for another twelve months. Effectively the player should be able to seek another employer.

Big opportunity today for some players to put their name forward for selection v the Suns, looking like minimum of 2 changes coming up.

Hopefully Aspley play a lot better than GWS and NT so we can see what our young guys can do against decent opposition.

 

[Jivlain]

I have the technology to do this for NEAFL teams now!

Aspley have three former AFL players playing: Dawson, Freeman, and Spencer (from Melbourne).

 

[Lazza16]

Is the team listed anywhere?

 

[lionshine]

Excited to see the boys play today. Hoping Hinge and C Lyons put their hands up for a debut. Also hope to see Answerth, Joyce, T Berry and E Smith find the footy. Will be good to get a look at Fullarton, Skinner and Wooller as well.

A rare opportunity for the Senior Coach to get to see our NEAFL team in action which is important in terms of assessing changes for next week.

You’d also think he may even have a fair bit of input to. Not necessarily as a match day coach, but after last night’s debacle, he may want certain players played in certain positions to see how they go with a view to assessing their competence or ability to play a different role potentially in the seniors.

Good point. Very big day for people like squizzy and Cuts I feel, they have a real chance to show how they can work on their deficiencies (defensive pressure for both) and earn a spot in the team. Others like Corey Lyons have a midfield spot up for grabs and the draftees will probably get a look in too.

This should be a smashing, the players should know spots are up for grabs so they should play out of their skins. However, the issue is that they might now places are up for grabs so they try and be selfish players and do the flashy things to get more noticed.

 

[Mayestro]

Quality of the stream this year pretty good. Obviously happier with the commentary than without last week but any vision is good.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Downloading the Giants game from Y tube. Disappointed there's no commentary.

 

[Lazza16]

Butler trying to be less selfish

 

[BRAB]

Coleman looks seriously good.

Can we take him as a zone selection like we did with grewar a couple of seasons back?

 

[Harris Specter]

How good does Hinge look? Would prefer him over Witherden

 

[bungalow_bill]

18-2 Brisbane's way

I think briztoon has discussed this somewhere - from memory he's a U19 academy player so we can take him in the draft through the usual academy bidding process.

 

[Harris Specter]

Eagles disposal still letting him down

 

[Harris Specter]

Bastinac been super impressive, already 4+ clearances and 9 disposals in the 1st quarter

 

[archangel1979au]

Hinge and Answerth looking good. Eli done some nice things

 

[Nunez]

Playing like a team who know There are senior spots up for grabs. Tom Berry and Bastinac killing it.
