2nds 2019 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

[MSB ROYS]

The sooner we're done with this substandard competition and in a real reserves league, the better.

Just watched some of the Southport / Aspley game. Standard is poor.

The final neafl game may determine which of the academy kids you pick up so the stakes are high for them

At a minimum, one spots available in the seniors next week, so I’d expect a few desperate players today.

Cutler for Robinson is the one necessary change for mine.

Yep, can't really think of who else would come in. We need a winger. You could probably argue Cox but he has been training in the forwards l think. Who has been playing wing at reservs?

Cutler deserves a shot, agreed. Do we need to really roll the dice and maybe drop Hipwood for someone like Walker?

 

[PattyKwasagun]

The interesting thing with Cuts will be whether or not he's already halfway out the door. If he is, as I suspect is probably the case, I doubt they'd play him. There really aren't a heap of options in that spot though, which might bode in his favour - although I think it's probably more likely they'd put Bez & Hugh on the wings full time throughout the game and bring in another midfielder/forward to fill that gap.

If Cutler does leave, it will be another player gone that we’ll regret leaving within a year given he’s a firsts player that the club has refused to utilise.

I’m struggling to see what the likes of Bailey for example offer over other guys that can’t get a game.

Baileys attack on the footy and pressure is why he’s in the team. 2 areas which are Cutlers biggest weaknesses and why he’s not in the team. I think Bailey won 3 or 4 holding the ball frees against Geelong. That’s his value.

 

[BRAB]

Game starting shortly.

Winner plays Southport.

 

[BRAB]

Basti goes BANG early.

 

[Checkered]

Where's a good spot to watch this in the CBD? Or is it better at one of the pubs near the Gabba?

 

[Checkered]

Or should I just get in an ola

 

[jackess]

Dominating. Looks like the wind is causing a few issues.

 

[jackess]

Not getting much from Keays or Cutler so far

 

[BRAB]

Bastinac looking AFL quality.

If he performs like this all game the selection panel will have no choice but to select him

 

[Clarkythelion]

Balandene crashed a pack - I'm a happy man

 

[jackess]

Starcevich has looked pretty good so far

 

[irel]

Inside 50 tackling pressure has been exceptional. Starc has been quality first quarter.

I’d be amazed if anyone is showing it.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Basti playing well. Eagles just accidentally knocked someone out whilst being tackled. Lions 29 Swans 3, 13 min 2Q.

 

[Harris Specter]

Cutler just lazy. Wants the cheap disposal instead of shepherding

 

[David C]

Lewie Taylor going alright as well. Bit of competition for Robinsons spot.

 

[Comeback Lions]

That hand pass from Cutler gifted them their first goal. No way can I see him playing firsts next week.

 

[jackess]

Liked Hinges game

Cutler and Keays have been poor

 

[David C]

Skinner goals. Will he still be on the list next year? Maybe shuffled back to the rookie list?
