Lol did the commentator almost call us the brions

 

[a mayes ing]

What about Riccardi as a potential recruit for Key Forward. Been in the system for a few years

 

[M Malice]

Tom Fullarton has taken a couple of really good contested marks, looks to be improving quite well.

Matho deserves to be playing at the top level. Crazy nobody interested in him.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Matho and Fort are above this level

Coleman needs to compete way more. Ball was near him with 2/3 GWS players and he was just jogging around, not impacting at all. Odds on to be delisted when his contract is up.

 

[M Malice]

What about Riccardi as a potential recruit for Key Forward. Been in the system for a few years

I like the idea, there are a few around who we could look at... Riccardi, Amartey, Ratugolea, Himmelberg, just got to pick the one who is ready to break out.

 

[Mr Ripper]

100% chance we go ultra defensive.

 

[Section 5]

Why? Not trying to be a smart arse, just wondering with his development (as disjointed as it's been), experience (as limited as its been) and potential, why you don't think he's worth an early 2nd round pick. He's a 1st or 2nd choice mid fringe player here, but could certainly be a starter at other clubs. Given a consistent run in a Afl team in his preferred inside mid role I think there's great scope for for a successful career.

You would think so but it just does not work out that way.
A bit like driving a new car out of the lot and it depreciates 10% before you get home.
No logical reason why that should happen.

Blake is nowhere near fit enough.

 

[scoman]

Blake is nowhere near fit enough.

Kiddy has struggled to get fit enough for AFL over the years as well. Mjght just be genetic and in that case its extra hard to build that tank.

Is there a wind advantage to one end?

 

[a mayes ing]

Harry Arnold has looked alright, is he in the Lions Academy, Do we have first access?
Haven't seen him before but he looks like he is a good contsted marker, looks tall too

Is a bit older (21/22) and has played VFL for us since maybe 2021? Thought he might get a contract when we lost Adams. I think he might get picked up by us if one or two young talls don't reach the level from our academy this year. Has been quite a few positive reviews from the guys on here.

He was in the Suns academy quite a few year ago, so no.

 

[MSB ROYS]

At least the commentator is correctly pronouncing Answeth's name today, which will please some on here!

 

[M Malice]

Great vision there by Harry Sharp.

Arnold impressing again.

Our kicking for goal has been poor this quarter though.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Nah, it’s just the usual go-to for coaches after an 11 goal quarter. Hasn’t eventuated as yet.

 

[M Malice]

We look a class above, I would be surprised if we don't end up with a big win.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Huge fan of the boundary umpire rockin the Mark Knopfler haircut.

 

[MSB ROYS]

We look a class above, I would be surprised if we don't end up with a big win.

Yes, but they are punishing our mistakes. Clean them up and I agree, we should win comfortably.

 

[scoman]

We look a class above, I would be surprised if we don't end up with a big win.

Yeah will probably work out that way. At the moment though, we keep missing chances and they rebound to score, that old chestnut! Keeping them in touch.

 

[sydney_gws]

What about Riccardi as a potential recruit for Key Forward. Been in the system for a few years

He plays very well in VFL, but lacks confidence and/ or effort in AFL.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Enjoying the crowd's addition to the commentary... (some of our frees in front of goal have been marginal).
