2nds Lions Reserves 2011

[Mr Ripper]

7.5 to 14.3 at the main break. X didn't make it to 1/4 time and has the ankle iced. Green, Harvey and Barry all limping noticeably. Really lost composure for about 15 minutes in that quarter. Ball- handling and handpassing have been lamentable all day.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Lions trail by 50 at half time. Completely outclassed by 10 goals to 3 in that term.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Matt Austin pulled off at half time (sorry, couldn't resist).

 

[Mr Ripper]

13.11 to 21.11 in the end. Considering the injuries, the inept skill level and the umpiring, I'm amazed the scores were so close!

Green eventually succumbed to what was ailing him, too, Haggis and sat out the final stanza.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Wow at this rate we could struggle to field a team by seasons end...

The footy gods hate us atm

NEAFL results-

Brisbane Lions
Goal Kickers: A. Cornelius 4, J. Polec 3, B. McCaulay 2, M. Austin , B. Saunders , B. McCulloch , A. Buchanan
Best Players: J. Hawksley, J. Dyson, A. Cornelius, A. Buchanan

Viewing from interstate- Polec finding the big sticks but not the best , and Acorn amongst the best as well as the goals. Josh Dyson also figuring amongst the best which is good news. (unless, of course, this week they meant least bad when stating the best?)

Hopefully Staker had as good a showing as possible when back from a long spell.

I think if Retzlaff doesn't play too well against port Acorn to come in. how many possies did Buchanan get let me guess 50 odd?

 

[notting18]

I think if Retzlaff doesn't play too well against port Acorn to come in.

I am betting Retzlaff will keep playing for a week or two more until Staker takes his spot in the lineup.

 

[chopperduck]

Staker will go into defense when he comes back, was playing back in today's game.

Spot on Mckeever most likely or even Maguire will make room for him.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Hope the lads in the 1's justify Bucca missing. If we suffer at the stoppages again, his form absolutely demands selection for a trip to Tassie.

 

[GabbaGirl]

How Buchanon keeps going I have no idea. He was cleaned up again a few times yesterday -does he have a death wish??? Stakes appeared to injure himself in the first quarter but played the game out ok. Not sure why Green kept coming back on though, he seemed clearly not ok to me.

 

[Tassie4ever]

This game showed that the current format is just not a goer. With a significant number of make-up players the gap between them and the rest is huge.

I thought that Polec had quite a reasonable game. Definitely only a one-foot kick player. Thought Buchanan was a bit down, maybe because of non-selection. Copeland was really giving it to him. Green copped a leg injury early. Staker very tentative. Don't know what happened to Xavier.

The second major point for me was the very poor input from the 2 Macs- almost certainly not up to it IMHO. The old saying- only 178cm but played 183. In the case of our 2 rucks it's the other way around I'm afraid. Example- Copeland continuously elbowing McCauley in the back, with little or no response. Get serious.

Cornelius tried hard, once again receiving terrible delivery. Must be a club KPI.

Aspley have a great venue, but the spectator facilities are woeful.

indeed for Bartlett. Everything crossed for a successful return for him and another solid outing for Stakes

Anyone know where I can get a list of the numbers for the top ups for tomorrow's game?

Prolly a bit late for ya Don, but I've inserted the (known) player numbers into the above.

 

[dlanod]

Cheers, just checked since they ran out and lo, delivered from confusion. Chocco and Lambert in shorts on the sideline is a scary sight though.

 

[dlanod]

Callum on, straight into it giving away a free for in the back. 1.0.6 to 0.2.2, goal to newell I think.

How do you check this?

 

[Mr Ripper]

Can follow the scores, live, here.

EDIT: Actually, I think Dlanod's doing a better job of it.

 

[dlanod]

6.0.36 to 4.4.28 to the lions. Two each to McCoullough and Cornelius, singles to Kitching and Newell.

Staker should be in seniors next week off that quarter, was dominant. Bartlett had a couple of nice touches and at least one shocker. Buchanan and a few of the GWS boys had a blow up, he rolled Treloar's ankle in a tackle.
