2nds Lions Reserves 2011

[Mr Ripper]

I'll do some tweeting from the game tonight. #GoWild hashtag if anyone's interested. Reading tweets will be more entertaining than watching St Kilda play, let's face it!

cheers MR - much appreciated by the mexicans

That would be great Mr Rip. Can't make it to this game.

Say g'day to the gang for me.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Will hopefully make it up!!!

You're the man, Mr R.

 

[irel]

Is it tweeting time yet?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Is it tweeting time yet?

Yeah MrRipper has been tweeting for an hour.

Amongst his tweets was a 50 metre running goal from Polec.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Rip and I are most definitely twits.

25 plays 23 at half time. Nice conditions here - not to much dew on the grass & heat gas gone out of the day + no humidity.

SOKS & retry trying hard but the whole games looks a little sloppy. Orange maggots red hot on the whistle.

Big bart injured again...

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Lions coming back - margin under a goal

 

[Grimreepah]

I've counted at least 3 goals to Polec.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Scores level nearing full time

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I've counted at least 3 goals to Polec.

He's certainly impressive, although is being schooled on the defensive side of the game

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Game over. Draw.

 

[chopperduck]

Sounds like Polec will be a gem, kicked some important goals. I can see why we wouldn't rush him in round 1, and instead take some time to coach him a bit, fix his defensive side. If he can tighten that up, he is going to be a game breaker. Would get found out in a big way at AFL level defensively though by the sounds of it.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Some quicks thoughts:

-Was slightly scrappy game - the kookaburra near me got more clean posession than anyone on the ground
-Lack of a dedicated ruck was hurting us after Bart went down (looked suscpisciouly like a quad
-Polec will be good. How good is dependant on how hard he works on his game. Undeniable talent who kicked us back into the game
-I heard SOKS talking at the 3/4 time huddle. Talks like a team leader (which in fairness he should be in the seconds)
-Green, Harwood, SOKS had good games but their kicking lets them down. Green is where the ball falls which is almost an unteachable trait.
-Hawskley looks destined for a decent stint in the twos. Fairly unconvincing.
-Niall coming along well
-Not sure where Acorn is at. Undeniably they're trying to teach him to work hard, but I think he's going to get lost.
-Richie Newell shows a bit. Might be one who gets through to the rookie list. Faded in and out though.
-Retzy is a hard worker - if he gets some good delivery... watch out.
-I can never find Mr Ripper at footy game - he must be a chameleon. And there was probably 250 people at the ground (100 of those in the clubhouse!).

Was just a practice match but good to see the team fight back and get something out of the game.

 

[chopperduck]

Thanks for all the updates guys, was following on twitter, great to know how the boys are going.

Richie Newell shows a bit. Might be one who gets through to the rookie list. Faded in and out though.

Can someone in th know clarify Newll's status. I understand he is a NSW scholarship player, but is he eligible to play reserves all year as a reserves player without actually being a rookie, ala Donald Barry, whom I almost consider being a rookie without ever being able to be promoted?

And whatever happened to Steve O'Connor, James Brain, Jack Lawson? Did their scholarships essentially expire?

 

[Nuggo]

Cheers for the updates guys.

Yep.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Alrighty, the AFLQ IT geeks have fixed up their link.

I think the gaffa tape fell off..

Anyone got match reports from the ressies game?

Particularly interested in polec, green, sheldon, karnezis, and harwood

 

[Quigley]

Re: lions reserves

Mitch Golby named for the ressies. Good to see him back.

Given McCauley and Polec are named on an extended bench I am thinking they could be getting a run.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Only TC training with the seconds. Presumably the other two are off to Melbourne.
