Remember when Wingard used to be a big name player?

Is this his first game back after the Achilles? Or whatever injury it was he had

 

[Mr Ripper]

Gosh darned impressive performance. Plaudits to all involved.

 

[Dalions]

Good win by the boys

 

[BuntonRules]

Heading into this year, I fully assumed Lane was making up numbers and would be delisted. Now I'm not so sure - has been impressive in multiple games. Could definitely get his fitness to a better level, but we're starting to see the things we hoped we'd see the last few years. I think we should extend him another year.

I would move Fort on before him. Fort has hindered his and Smith's development, IMO.

I think Fort recently signed a new contract

That was an enjoyable afternoon. My thoughts on best Robertson, Tunstill, Lyons, Prior and then a gap to Abberley best of the top ups. Both Smith and Lane continue to develop.

 

[AFLQLD]

Henry and Lane both showed enough in their development to think they might have a future. Both seem to be getting more mobile and look to have the potential to keep developing. Both can take a contested mark and if they keep working on endurance, by this time next year, one or both might be ready to step up to AFL level as forward/ruck.

Tunstill and Robertson would be desperate for their next chance to go up but they are working on their game and beginning to take control in the midfield which is exactly what they need to do at this level.

Has been good coverage for the 1s though

I really like the fact that it was someone other than Fort that got the call up to the Seniors.
Smith was close so bodes well.

Hey, anyone know if I can watch this game now?

Not yet but eventually you can watch via the match centre.
Most likely after the round is over or Monday

Like the one from last week or any other game this year.

They will need to be good, Footscray are undefeated 9-0 and 2 games clear on top of the ladder, looking forward to watching our 3 new guys in action.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Looks like Joyce is sitting out as senior emergency which is an interesting choice

 

[Mayestro]

Beecken with the early intercept.

McLachlan in 56, Craven in 50 and Beecken in 47.

 

[knaf]

Good quality stream

 

[Nathan Barley]

Beecken is a gun

Never seen someone consistently get up as slowly as Ryan does whenever he goes to ground

 

[Mayestro]

Sheesh Beecken with the confidence to play on at half back have a bounce and a pretty good kick into the forward line. You can see why Adelaide were keen.

 

[Nathan Barley]

MacLachlan wasting no time with a great goal

 

[Mayestro]

McLachlan crumbs well with the left foot snap for a goal from the left pocket fairly impressive.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Looking really good at clearances when our ruck isn't being manhandled

 

[MSB ROYS]

Great start. Q1 16 mins in. Lions 25, Footscray 3.
