Have been critical in the past, but this is the best I've seen Nakia look in a while.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Nice goal to Dev. Really pulling away now.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Halftime Lions 71, Sharks 37

 

[knaf]

Nice appetiser. Off to Kayo now.

Nice half from Noah. Lots of run and carry, probably in front of Fletcher for a call up, but Fletcher’s class is obvious.

Probably shouldn’t be watching our main side atm

Mr Ripper Brain injury?

Yes

 

[MSB ROYS]

Southport fighting back in the third.

Great centre clearances by Lane and Dev

For those who have been watching it... who have been our bests?

Only seen a little bit around the AFL match but Cockatoo has been really good. He’s been good all year in the VFL thus far.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Lions win 116, Sharks 97.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Funny game. Had a two or three awful patches, but steadied each time. Usual suspects in the bests. Cocky excellent.

Edit: Dizzy made it through. Bit rusty. Would need at least another week before coming under consideration imo.

Lions win 116, Sharks 97.

Sharks put up more of a fight than Roos, who'd have guessed.

 

[Scubaveg]

Only seen a little bit around the AFL match but Cockatoo has been really good. He’s been good all year in the VFL thus far.

He has, finally proper fit and a decent run with the body. Keep this up and he should get another year.

Thank you Vfl watchers.

Sounds like Fletcher will be a player. Where is he playing when at his best?

Arnold also impressing. Is he worth putting time into long-term?

Sounds like Dev started slow but got much better. Tunstill good, as well. Was Matho quiet?

Really good they're winning and even better some are in good form putting pressure on the firsts and ready to step up for injuries.

Where has Cockatoo been playing in reserves?

MATCH CENTRE Check out all the stats from Brisbane's clash

Brisbane held on against a fast-finishing Southport to secure a 19-point win on Saturday afternoon.

The Lions led by as much as 37 points during the final term before the Sharks slammed on four of the final five goals to close the margin.
Rhys Mathieson was busy across the ground and finished with 36 disposals and seven clearances in a dominant outing, while forward Noah Answerth also put his hand up for another chance at the top level with 27 disposals, nine tackles and six clearances.

After being the Lions' starting sub in the two of the past three games before being dropped to the reserves this week, midfielder Deven Robertson put in a commanding 25-disposal, 12-clearance and two-goal effort.

Young forward Tom Fullarton took five marks and booted four goals, including a steadier late, while Nakia Cockatoo was also busy up forward with three goals.

Saw the game in full now so I would like to make the following observations: Robertson appears to be our biggest impact reserves player because he can find the ball, makes good decisions and scores goals. His only downside is that his disposal is not always A grade. Ainsworth looks ready to go into our firsts when a position becomes available. Madden is my favourite backline player because he rarely gets beaten and tackles hard. It would be great if he got a chance in the firsts as a lockdown backman. Madden doesn’t get heaps of possessions but either does his opponent. His disposal has also improved and he looks to be a lot stronger than last year. Both Tunstill and Sharp although serviceable in this game did not have a great impact as wingman. Sharp appears to be a more explosive runner than last year he just needs to find more of the ball. An excellent win overall against a competitive opponent.

ANSWERTH!

Bad enough that the commentators get it wrong - our supporters shouldn't!

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

I still have hope that Cockatoo makes it in the AFL

Thanks for the correction Denno I was a little confused myself seeing different spelling and pronunciation of his surname
