[Tricky Dicky]

wish we'd stop handballing to a team mate under even more pressure

 

[briztoon]

whats the wind like seems more scores down the end we kicked to in the 3rd?
1st 7-4
2nd 8-3
3rd 7-3

Although pressure was up that qtr apart from allowing someone front and centre alone

Was coming across the ground, east to west in the first half.

 

[LoganMorrisFan]

really rate tunstills skills

 

[davemc_lions]

Pressure went up and we back in the game.
Both sides coughed up by playing on too quick

 

[Mr Ripper]

Keidean went off about ten minutes ago looking proppy and hasn’t reemerged.

Wouldn’t surprise me .

An amazing come from behind win.

 

[davemc_lions]

good win after a sloppy 2nd qtr

Annable looks very likely
Smith you do wonder why we looking at Draper. Although Moyle managed 54 hit outs to 22.
McCarthy two in a row straight made the difference in the end.
Tunstill had a few good moments then you do not see him for ages.
Nice goal save at the end I think from Brain?

I do think guys like Day, Coleman, Joyce, Doedee in the seconds help

Agree, it was excellent. Two wins against the Suns and one more (hopefully) to come.

Henry Smith best on ground again. Brain has put his hand up for the Answerth role.

Unfortunately looks a mile off it.

Annable is going to be a star. Instrumental.

Shhh. He's our draft secret.

VFL games should be akin to Formula One qualifying.

Lions get a 9 point start in the AFL match.

Gee what a comeback. In the first half they could not kick straight but fixed that up in the second. Smith was massive another 20 possession game and competed well in the ruck, Tunstill to me was our second best as he picked up his usual possessions and kicked 2 goals - the first being a 65 metre drop punt, Annabelle made it look easy he linked up really well and didn’t waste many disposals, his decision making is elite. I reckon his best position in the 1sts atleast in his first year is the wing similar to Ashcroft. Reville also looks a class above especially with his kicking. To me these were our standouts for this game with everyone else playing their role.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Will, Levi & Annable as our starting mids with Jaspa & Sam Marshall on the wings is just an insane midfield for the next fifteen years. Especially considering we’ve built it while winning flags.

Plural. I like it.

Whether there was a push or not (I think there was), lesson for #56 of North: in this situation, don't even give the umpire the opportunity to penalise you.

You often hear the argument that umpires have no business paying these frees in this situation ("let them play", etc.). The other side of that argument is that players should have carte blanche to behave however their short fuse demands. I'd rather the rules be upheld in all circumstances. Gutsy call.

Must be a proud moment for him to represent the Lions just like his father did

Hope Crusha does a highlights package so I can send it Hawks supporting mates
