Preview Round 12, 2018 - Brisbane vs. Essendon

[Lions Lions]

I don't care if McStay or walker play the other third man option to be honest, go with what you think...

 

[Nunez]

was he ?

Yes....

 

[Lions Lions]

.... as long as Lester is not in the seniors this week or any other week after.

It's not up to me unfortunately
I'm just defending my position that he's building to something. His marking is key to our forward line. Too often mcinerny doesn't get to the contest, I don't recall mcstay getting out marked too often lately. Patience is required IMO before going back to walker
Edit - Oscar is the position that is yet to convince me is working.

Fair enough you have done a good job too, let's stick with him.

 

[Lions Lions]

Is there room for starcevich this week?

IMO Corey Lyons would get a spot before Starc ATM.

 

[Lions Lions]

I think Lyons comes in this week to the midfield , was more thinking starcevich forward ?? Thoughts ??

 

[M Malice]

I haven't seen enough of or heard what role he has been playing in the ressies to know what Starcevich would offer up front.

I'm with you on Lester and Bell, I'd be quite happy if they just saw out the year in the NEAFL and were then delisted, both have had ample opportunity to cement regular spots over multiple years. However I think they will both be selected this weekend unfortunately.

Big test of where the match committee is at this week isn't it.

 

[marooned]

So the seniors played poorly we want to bring in guys who played poorly in the reserves?

Definition of insanity do the same thing and expect a different result repeatedly

 

[marooned]

Tom Bell has actually proven himself to be a solid contributor at AFL so I'm okay with him having another chance or two to recapture that form.

Granted it was 2-3 years ago but it's still a lot more than Claye has ever shown.

Rubbish he has not done that.Plays poorly regularly.Every opportunity has been given and has not grasped any of them.Terrible below his knees and horrible disposal

 

[marooned]

He would not be on any other list in the comp.Dishes up s**t regularly plays as an accumulator who doesnt.Zero hurt factor to the opposition.Appies zero pressure to anyone.Started on Wood on tje weekend and brought his soap.

I'm talking about his last season and a bit at Carlton big man

 

[scott_the_man]

Outs: Robinson inj Cameron inj mccluggage inj Christensen inj lester mcstay

In: Berry Lyons C Beams Mayes walker starcevich

Could be up to six changes!!

Were you watching a different game to me?
I thought Mcstay was our best player up to half time. He had a great game. No chance he'll get dropped.

 

[Requiem]

I'm talking about his last season and a bit at Carlton big man

IIRC he finished 4th in their B&F in his final season at Carlton averaging 20 disposals and 1 goal a game.

That's why we paid a second round pick for him.

 

[Lace Out]

I have a slab on this with a Don.He doesn't know if I lose it will be an Aldi Rivet carton $25.99

He was immense that season. Shame he hasn't carried it on in any way shape or form but its hopefully still in there somewhere.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I hope Bewick and Bell get promoted and Lester stays in so this thread will go feral. No more boring Thursday nights.

What does IIRC mean?

 

[Skoob]

What does IIRC mean?

A one handed Bewick?

It's my favourite thing, each week, seeing all the suggested ins of injured players or first year players who are not ready to play.
Surprised no-one has suggested Hammelman to come in, because he's been ripping it up in the NEAFL.

 

[MSB ROYS]

What does IIRC mean?

IIRC = if I recall correctly

 

[mikey127]

My 5 day old son is available to play if Fagan wants.

My heartiest congratulations. First one?

 

[mikey127]

My heartiest congratulations. First one?

Thanks mate. Yeah first one and already a Lions member.

If he's any good will be moving to Brisbane when he's about 15 to get him in the academy but shhh don't tell Eddie.
