I think Beeckon will be in front of Prior for a call up soon. Beeckon natural run and carry.

His kicking is good too. Even at top speed

 

[Section 5]

Beecken living up to his highlights reel.
Like how he takes the game on too. Got caught once but ended up getting a free even if it was a bit dodgee.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Beecken's height? Plays tall and is good overhead.

185cm. Some sources say 184.

How did Beecken not only fall to the MSD but not be one of the first taken? One quarter only but he looks a serious talent.

Was heavily linked to both Adelaide and Hawthorn. I was amazed both passed on him.

 

[LongLion]

Quick head count. How many are watching this at work, home, retired?

 

[M Malice]

Luke Beecken already the GOAT pick 17 Mid Season Draft selection.

 

[M Malice]

Quick head count. How many are watching this at work, home, retired?

Retired since 2006.

Work, though I'm more listening than watching.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kiddy, Wilmott, McKenna and Beecken all in the same backline would be exciting

Oh and Brain!

 

[LongLion]

Quick head count. How many are watching this at work, home, retired?

Day off for me but I should be retired

 

[LongLion]

Lyons still a very handy player.

Work from home. On in the background.

Lyons still a very handy player.

At this level, good back up if Neale goes down in the seniors, no role for him with Neale in the side.

Have to agree. Good to see him still working hard all the time. Doesn't drop his head & sulk

Henry Smith 2 big strong pack marks in the goal square within a minute for 2 goals, 3 for the day.

Looking very good, I'd still be a little worried about his mobility at AFL level.

Who would our online experts think is more mobile and quicker around the ground Smith or Oscar?

 

[LongLion]

Wonder how much effect/benefit Luke Llyod has had since he has started playing in the team. They have certainly improved with their structure.

Oscar at this stage

Henry Smith is 25 right? Doesn't look 206cm to me but maybe the one camera not doing him justice, certainly taking grabs for fun.

But surely he plays this year - really should have played ahead vs GWS against Briggs.

Mobility wise is relatively similar between the two IMO. Smith seems to have good hands at ground level though.

 

[Mayestro]

Strong mark under duress McLachlan.

Think he is 22?

 

[twhowler]

Think he is 22?

oh sorry i meant number 25

I can see what people mean re Ryan's pace. He has good hands though. Better than any of our forwards.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Couple of good tackles from Sharp today

Seems to be more in control of his limbs. Oscar is sometimes incredibly slow to get it to boot or to hand

 

[Mr Ripper]

Undisciplined last 10 or 15 minutes

 

[MSB ROYS]

Half time. Lions 9.5.59, Dogs 4.8.32
