If I've got the right game, he might have rucked against Sam Day at some point.

Possibly. They did have Nicholls and Crossley playing. I’ll go look for some photographical evidence.

VFL watchers, is Doedee any close to a recall?

Has barely been playing unfortunately

Game is tomorrow. If he plays well he probably will come in. It's either him or Gardiner.

Real opportunity for McLachlan to put pressure on the team. Similarly wingers. Levi is looking like a weak link. If Marshall or Bruce have a big game they could be right in line

Completely agree. Holes that need filling. Need a crumbing fwd who know their limitations in a marking contest and choose to stay on the ground. We have too many going for mark of the year and have little second effort. Also someone who can no. 1 choose to tackle and. no 2.tackle and no. 3 Hold a tackle.

No Dizzy tomorrow. Sure sign of an AFL recall in place of Payne on Friday night.

Don't see the point of mass changes for the sake of it this week. Back in the proven players given the short turnaround and the venue, if we lose then make changes.

We have a history of managing minutes of players who could come into the seniors in scenarios like this i.e. short break.

Keep an eye out for players minutes subbed or just benched early and not coming back on for a fair portion of the match, we are not averse to playing short in the reserves.

One or two of McLachlan, Reville, Tunstill, Marshall, McInerney could all be candidates for an early rest.

Agree with most that there is nigh on zero chance of Charlie being omitted, that is not Fages style.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Oscar stripped to play

 

[Mr Ripper]

Looks like McCarthy in for Dizz the only change.

What right out in the open?

Looks like McCarthy in for Dizz the only change.

That is a seriously short recovery for Linc.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Massive wrist bandage on Doedee.

 

[M Malice]

Normal transmission resumes... Will McLachlan with our first goal, good mark.

 

[M Malice]

The boys looked switched on today from the start, Lions up 21-13.

FWIW I think Sam Marshall would be better value rotating through the wing in the AFL than Levi Ashcroft at the moment, Marshall has elite endurance and can run both ways.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Umpires are irritating me.

 

[M Malice]

Bruce Reville looking very slick early.

 

[Nathan Barley]

That kick from Lloyd couldn't have been much worse

 

[Nathan Barley]

Please draft McFadyen

 

[Nathan Barley]

Smart kick by Torrent

 

[Nathan Barley]

Oscar is a beast. Would love him to play like this in the seniors

 

[Nathan Barley]

If it wasnt a Friday game McLachlan would have to be a chance

Maybe after the bye if Kai has another quiet one

 

[M Malice]

McLachlan with 3 goals already, take him off and rest him up for Friday night.

That's new, never happened before.
