2nds 2019 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

[Dylan12]

Next week if all our injuries are cleared, three squad players drop out of the NEAFL. Where do they go? Or do they not play at all?

I hope you haven’t gone too early on this.

I sometimes wonder how we'll keep all these kids when they cant break into the seniors...Most of them will surely start looking for consistency elsewhere?

Back our drafting to get the replacements hopefully. Drafting late bloomers / overagers which could provide that age balance. Answerth was a good pick this year, need more of them.

We are developing a tremendous record of taking draft sliders that come good ie. kids who drop down the order due to injury in their draft year.

Keeping tabs on x-academy would be a nice option too, to get mature rookies in our list.
Wylie Buzza and Declan Watson are out of contract this year, could be rookie'd if either of them get delisted.

Mabior Chol looking quite good as well. I haven't seen anything of Watson but Buzza looked handy when in the Cats side.

One I was thinking about last night.

We’ll probably have a better balance in our NEAFL list next season, where our kids can play more often in their “natural” positions. And

How’s this sort of recruiting beneficial culturally for our club? Clogging up our list with failed rookies from other clubs at the expense of drafting on talent. There was a reason why bids were not matched on these players and being delisted provides an element of vindication for our recruiters.
Talent should be the primary measure for being on our list, not being an ex academy guy.

Twos have a bye next week. Also, STOP TEMPTING THE FOOTY GODS FOR FLOP'S SAKE.

Looking forward to the game... starting soon on NEAFL TV.

Joyce getting amongst it early.

Early signs this is going to be another slaughter.

Archie nailed a GWS lad in a tackle in the first minute.... Mummy like.... Could that be the strength of Archie in the future? Physicality?

 

[M Malice]

Jack Payne looks very cool under pressure, as well as having good disposal.

When he last got a real run in the 1sts I remember his tackling and handballing in traffic both being impressive.

I think we're all pretty bullish on him adding something different to our seniors team in the near future.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Last few minutes much more competitive, which is good.

 

[jackess]

NRobbo sitting out as coverage for the seniors?

 

[a mayes ing]

This is fantastic pressure by both sides. Looks like AFL pressure, this is exactly what our reserves sides need, some genuine pressure and competition not a mountain of time to dispose of the ball like every other week

 

[whizkizz]

Looks like N Robbo hasn't lined up for the twos.

 

[jackess]

Our midfield is probably a similar quality as theirs. Hopefully they make us work for it.

 

[scoman]

Joyce moves very nicely... Boy oh Boy wowee!

It’s looking that way.

I’m liking him more and more; will be an absolute brute in years to come.
