Changes V Melbourne

[Bucking Beads]

No we're not:

Oh. I had my wires crossed.

I read "The Free Hit" comment with great interest. I know what i would do with that. It should be printed and placed on the players lockers and on the walls of the change rooms before the game. Maybe that might light a fire in the players not much else seems to at present.

That's a great idea.

I'd be happier if the players were motivated by pride in their own performance, desire to help their mates and bringing success to their football club.

Why not ask for a pony too?

Wouldn't we all. Hasn't been much evidence of it.

Beams AND Rocky could be done for the year is the rumor going around

Going around where? I have read the articles on DBeams missing the rest of the year but not Rocky

BRISBANE Lions prime movers Tom Rockliff and Dayne Beams are undergoing tests on Monday afternoon to determine their fate for the remainder of 2016.

Rockliff is consulting a hamstring specialist in Canberra with Lions head physio Shane Lemcke to determine the route of his recurring problems.

The captain is expected to miss Sunday's match against Melbourne at the MCG, but the club is hopeful of formulating a rehab program to limit his time on the sidelines.

Rockliff has suffered hamstring and calf injuries related to a neural problem in his back, and then suffered a fresh tear against Port Adelaide in round seven.

Huh.

Andrews: Foot
Beams: Tendonitis
Rockliff - Neural

All potentially overuse weight bearing injuries. Lessened interchange cap combined with more time running on the hard grounds in QLD perhaps?

 

[AFLQLD]

Yeah, I agree with that.

I tend to think Taylor gets some bad raps because of his size and playing style when we really don't exploit his strengths but manage to accentuate his weaknesses. I distinctly recall someone kicking to a marking contest in the forward line that consisted of Taylor and two of their tall defenders. Unsurprisingly he lost but gave his best effort. That is so obviously not how to use Taylor. His form hasn't been great but I still don't think he would be first on the chopping block.

Unicorn would be easier.

 

[Davemonkey]

Unicorn would be easier.

Nah there is a horse somewhere, remember.

 

[dlanod]

Unicorn would be easier.

You're always the horny one.

We haven't really spent much time on the Gabba - certainly not enough to have caused these sorts of issues from overuse. It's the only particularly hard ground.

 

[Big Lion]

Playing Rich in the forward line good or bad idea? Seems to get tagged out of games most weeks. Just think he could be a weapon up forward.

Is the Gabba harder than Etihad even? Maybe the wicket area but they dont spend much time running around on that part

Nothing there about Rocky possibly missing the remainder of the season. It simply says that his tests may dtermine how long he's out and how to manage him once he's back. Let's not panic or dramatise.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We really need some of these young players we've got to step up. We've been relying on Rockliff and Beams too much. Time to play Mayes in the guts and give him a red hot crack.

 

[Milux]

Woah. I wish. Steady now.

I don't know much about our training grounds to be honest. Just a theory since we seem to always have foot injuries which are also a common overuse injury.

I think through a season, yeah definitely it's worse - particularly on ruckmen ... but I think we can only start using the Gabba in like March?

I back Lewy to bounce back. Country boy that's had it tough and knows how to battle it out.
Lets see if im on the money here!!

 

[Bucking Beads]

We;ve recruited guys like Bastinac and Bell to really add something to the team but I don't think they are. We could be getting games into our younger crop of midfielders. I know depth is an issue but I am just so disappointed in their output so far this year.

Not the worst idea- can take a mark... Fwd or back for mine as he does get tagged to easily
