Has the injury to Harris Andrews dented our finals campaign

[lionlionlion]

1st absolutely gutted.He is without doubt a superstar of the comp I hope he has a speedy recover. lions let’s win and keep winning for the passion and dedication Harris possesses.let’s do it for him so he can play in the preliminary final or hopefully sooner. PS medical team you now have a mission.GO LIONS
the old cliche so close yet so far. To the player set to replace HARRIS , DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN with the same spirit, determination,passion of our beloved HARRIS.. This unfortunate opportunity will define in the coming weeks ,who u r ,your will to fight,your character and your desperation .The lions need you, the supporters desperately want you to successed. whoever you r may you give 110% to the lions achieving what so many players aspire to,to win a premiership.

 

[dlanod]

[snooplions]

How far away is Adams? I hope Paine finds his feet..

WHYYYYYYY DID WE DELIST WALKER

 

[InFaganWeTrust]

WHYYYYYYY DID WE DELIST WALKER

Walker is a great third-man up. Lockdown defender? Not so much.

Magic eight ball says yes.

The injury to Fullerton is also going to hurt but is being overlooked for obvious reasons.

 

[martinson]

Yes.

But it is what it is. At least we get a look at another player or two.

I think we'll be okay, but makes the qualifying final (assuming we finish top four) that much harder.

 

[jackess]

WHYYYYYYY DID WE DELIST WALKER

because you don’t keep many in their late 20s to be a backup

 

[BRAB]

6 weeks means he wouldn't be back until the week before the grand final right?

We're screwed.

 

[Gadzorks]

All the defenders will step up, Harris will be coaching from the bench with Fagan and we’ll be fine.

 

[BRAB]

Adams is listed as tbc. Any chance he'll be back at some point this year?

 

[Ceebee]

It will make it harder but means everyone has to step up in his absence .

 

[Tom14]

Adams is listed as tbc. Any chance he'll be back at some point this year?

Seems very unlikely. He's been listed as TBC for at least 6 weeks.

 

[Squizz89]

Yeah I think we are screwed too unfortunately. People say we have a great team defence, which in part is true, but that team defence is built around playing to Harris’ strengths in that he can come over the top to spoil or mark and kill opposition forays forward. Going to be hard(er) from here unfortunately.

 

[Ceebee]

Anyone know when Stef will be back ?

 

[lionlionlion]

6 weeks means he wouldn't be back until the week before the grand final right?

We're screwed.

from what the paper states worst case premlim final

 

[zorkoooooooooo]

I still reckon we can manage with this. If we are in fact the real deal, we will deal with this. Everyone has the step up. Get through these last three games, set ourselves up for a home QF. Win that, get harro back for the prelim!

McStay back. Forward line of
Coleman Rayner Cameron
McCarthy Hipwood Ah Chee

Send Ah Chee into the ruck to give omac a chop out. Boy can jump.

 

[a mayes ing]

Hopefully he can be back a week sooner. Rayner was like that. Even if he is not 100% fit, l would still play him. If he does get re-injured well we wouldn't win the GF w/o him. Reward is greater than the risk imo

 

[Berry Picker]

I know it's going to hurt our structure but mcstay can go back if required. Bring in skinner for fullaton, payne for harris.

You can't replace guys like harris, but it gives a opportunity for someone else to step up.

Charlie can jump too . He and Ah Chee to share it when forward.
