I’ll have you know, grade 9 was the best 3 years of my life.

Hey guys. Sorry I wasnt sure where to post this, but I've been a bit of a lurker on the Sam Skinner ACL thread in recent times.

I big ol' Physio nerd and came across this pic from a Lions academy night posted this arvo on Twitter.

Can anyone tell me who each player is?

I can make out Barret and possibly Gardiner and maybe Witherden?

 

[Hollow Knight]

L-R: Barrett, Allison, Bastinac (I think), Witherden or Paparone perhaps, not sure who is on the right.

 

[MacMum]

I reckon there is a moustache on the right hand face.....Cameron?

 

[MacMum]

Also, 2nd left McStay?

 

[Jivlain]

L-R: Barrett, Allison, Bastinac (I think), Witherden or Paparone perhaps, not sure who is on the right.

Thinking that's probably Gardiner in the middle.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

definitely Allison, bloke in middle looks like gardiner.

 

[sven_inc]

Cheers! So most likely Barrett, Allison, Gardiner, Witherden, Cameron?

Terrible posture from Allison.
Probably the tallest of the lot, but slumping the lowest.

Exactly where I was going with it.

 

[sven_inc]

It's never garaunteed but keep an eye out for some shoulder, back, hip, groin, quad, hammy, patella tendon issues for Allison and Witherden (most likely) in the future.

I'll be watching with interest if those shapes are usual for them!

Best of luck this weekend against the cross town rivals!

I noticed the HS did a 'reverse coleman' for what defender has the most goals kicked on them (liam jones leads with 23). I was shocked to see no Lions players in the top 10!. Then I realised that a majority of our goals are from oppo players who are unopposed by a defender so champion data wouldn't know who to assign it too im guessing.. Lol

sorry for the intrusion guys and hopefully this is the best place to post- what is everyone's thoughts from Haas's days at Brisbane? we have a spate of hammy at the moment and our posters are banging on about the same thing happening in Brisbane but I can't recall and thought i'd ask here

Although he got along well with the players and seemed like a great guy, we, generally, had a bad run with injury while Matt was at our club. Things have improved dramatically since he and the birdman packed their bags.

Ouch for weitering, he played 2 games as a forward & people said he was s**t so they put him back & he' still conceded 11 goals

And probably turnovers leading direct to goals against Liam Jones.

Sam Newman has revealed a shocking and disturbing case of player welfare mismanagement at the Brisbane Lions.

"I know of 3 boys that walked in on another recruit who had his head in a noose and was about to commit suicide at the Brisbane Lions and it took the Brisbane Lions one year to counsel those people who walked in on him. If that is not an indictment on a club going nowhere and a disgraceful approach on handling people, and I can tell who you they are and it is a fact."

Not dizzy in the hat, I reckon its McStay.

WTF, that is a bombshell and a half. How long ago are we talking? Current or previous regeime? Could this explain the odd manner in which Manny left the club?

I thought it was about Josh Schache when i first saw it, but i don't have a clue tbh.

They made it sound like it was pre fagan.
Also most likely is BS or blown up from what it was

Yeah dont want to speculate, but that instantly entered my head too. With the way that all unfolded, it was very bizaar.
