Unofficial Preview Rd 18 - Lions v Adelaide Crows

[buttermuffs]

With Walker out we match up fairly well with their forward line:

Josh Walker - Josh Jenkins
Dizzy - Mitch M
Robertson - Betts

Even then McGovern might be out which plays to our advantage because they would be left with only one decent tall forward.

Anyone brave enough to tip that this weekend we'll move out of the bottom 4 in the second half of the season for the first time since 2013 this?
- We play the Adelaide at home.
- St Kilda play Richmond at Etihad.
- Western Bulldogs play West Coast in Perth.
- We have a superior percentage.

Here’s hoping we can pull off one of the greater bamboozles of the season. If we leapfrog out of the bottom four and manage to stay out (which would require two more wins possibly) then it would be a more than successful season.

You don't just drop Walker after that performance. He will stay in this week

Tex Walker, suspended.

Tex Walker, suspended.

I know that, but he was near BOG against Hawks. He can be our Harris Andrews next week with his intercepting if need be. We have had tall backlines before

I wonder what the affect of the drama has had. the sad passing of Mr beams, the way the boys handled it and Dayne stepping down as captain what a leadership moment. Harris Andrews being knocked silly and Zorko rushing to grab his mouthguard and players showing initial care for a mate over anger. These things to me show a bond, a building, something more than player but the signs of a real team. The consistency shown by the coaches, the lack of changes after a win or even a lack of many changes overall creating a desire about being in the firsts and part of that tight group that is now a media darling. Sometime its little things that become a defining moment in change. Not that these were little things at the time but even among the group of supporters on here you can see changed. Most weeks people were ripping each other apart just to vent now there are group hugs everywhere. and supporters from other clubs dropping by and look at us, some of us even thank them. As a farmer and not one to show emotion - I'm feeling the love boys and girls.

Let's hope we get some love from the umps.

Where was it reported that Walker is an out for next week?

 

[Kevvo]

Tex is the out.

 

[jackess]

Who says we’re dropping Tex Walker?

 

[Viceregal]

Maybe he has requested a trade to the Lions?

 

[JakePeralta]

We've scored the most points of any side in the last 4 weeks, and conceded the 4th fewest, including keeping our last 3 opponents to 65 points or less. That's a pretty bloody good effort.

 

[Dylan12]

Tex is the out.

Too many bloody Walker’s.

 

[Dalions]

Too many bloody Walker’s.

Ahhhh! But there’s only one tex!

 

[snooplions]

Ahhhh! But there’s only one tex!

Tex Perkins x2 ?

 

[dlanod]

Ahhhh! But there’s only one tex!

There's only one true Walker anyway...

We've already covered the fact that he's out for the Crows this week.

I wonder if the MRP would find the skull mark in a player's jaw to be relevant to their determination...

I'd say so - if they had it, you can be sure they deserved it.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Hard to pronounce.

Would take out the entire oppo team within minutes with some well placed round house kicks. Will need to draft this guy to help him out
