Just a bit off the pace right now.

 

[Crusha]

Anyone thinking Fullerton could be a defender ....... isn't watching this game.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Losing Gardiner and shifting Fullarton to the backline is never likely to be a winning change

 

[M Malice]

It will be very hard to come back from here even this far out IMO, we look a class below them.

We had just one forward at the fall of the ball before, then one defender short 30 seconds later down the other end. How?

 

[Sherrinator]

Lions need to understand that if you retain possession, the other team can’t score. Just terrible combing the ball forward and zero awareness.

 

[Mayestro]

They are killing us with intercept marks in the forward 50.

Rich is missing a few targets especially by hand. Its great he’s keeping himself available in case the seniors need him but he’s not really pushing for selection.

We have too many rucks/talls fwds in the side, have all season > Kalin Lane, Henry Smith, Darcy Fort, Wylie Buzza. Only Buzza of them is anywhere near a true KPF.

Yes, Richy has been ordinary, looking like this will be his last game in Lions colours. No way in the world could he handle a Prelim/GF in seniors, Prior or Brain would be comfortably in front of him if injuries strike the small backs.

 

[royboys4eva]

Matho non existent. They might as well play Richy in the middle. Let him take shots on the run. if its his last Lions game let him finish in style.

Matho and Cocky have seemed too comfortable as VFL footballers recently

 

[pulpdriver]

Missed the first half but I'm gathering from the comments here we're not playing well. Are we any chance?

 

[pulpdriver]

Coleman should have kept running and kicked the goal.

 

[Mr Ripper]

F me

 

[Nunez]

This is horrible to watch.

 

[pulpdriver]

How did they **** that up? Comedy of errors.

 

[Crusha]

And not as a forward either after that last pathetic effort in front of goal.

Edit: Not the very last one now ...... but that wasn't good either.

 

[pulpdriver]

That's a lovely kick off one step from Prior. Good goal, come on boys.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Finally a goal. Great kick by Prior.

 

[Helicon1]

Fwd line so poor. Delivery inside even worse. Wasting opportunities this qtr

 

[Crusha]

Has Matheson checked out .....?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Umpires have stepped up in the last few minutes.

You spoke too soon.
