A well written story about ZOB

 

[scoman]

Steff, Bewick and Beams

 

[AFLQLD]

Redden stepping up as Rockliff gets tagged harder. He has really started to show how good he can be.

 

[Caiphus]

Redden quietly continuing to improve across the board as an all rounder in the midfield. It's rare to see a player keep developing once they have hit 100 games, but he isn't just improving his consistency, he is building upon his weaknesses.

 

[James North]

Bewick off halfback - nice stuff.

This is why players are playing 'out of position' in the ressies and in other games. Maybe they're better somewhere else!

Lions one game out of 12th

 

[Ceebee]

:Just nice for the players and nice for the fans to see improvement.
Well done all round.
Feeling happy.
Ni night all.

 

[MacMum]

ni ni ceebee.......go sleep like a baby. I think a few of us will, that's for sure.

 

[Rally]

All of a sudden we look like a really quick team.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Hanleys tackling, Peoples thoughts on his hit on Libreatore with about a minute to go?

SCHMACKOOO

 

[Panthera]

All of a sudden we look like a really quick team.

The Midfield / Half-Forward line group is getting there:

Rucks: Leuey, West, Martin
Grunt/Workrate: Redden, Rockliff, Beams, Bewick, Lester, O'Brien (Moloney when fit)
Flair/Pace: Hanley, Zorko, Green, Taylor
Composure: Aish, Mayes
Point of difference: Paparone, Rich

It's a nice mix now, one that has a lot of improvement in it too.

I know it's a simplistic way to group some of the above players as some cross over.

 

[Dylan12]

Dayne Zorko - we've had some special players at the Lions over the years, but Zorks offers a pretty unique skill set that I'm not sure we've seen before particulalry his pace, elusiveness and overall transformation in general. Akermanis is a close match and I'm not for a minute suggesting Zorks comes close to Aka, but he is a pretty special little all the same.

 

[Dylan12]

Clearly not being in the inner sanctum at the club, I make this observation from very afar, but I do get the impression the players are a fairly tight knit bunch. Such an observation is purely based on the media emanating out of the club and my own general observations from a couple of Lions events and even just hearing them at quarter and three quarter time geeing one another up.

 

[Dylan12]

The Brisbane Lions players and these highlights...

I'd have zorko as a point of difference as well.

Joel Patfull has demonstrated the past fortnight why he is a dual Merrett-Murray medallist.

An out and out gun.

 

[lionshine]

I haven't had a chance to watch the game yet but we are off the bottom of the ladder!!

You're doing it wrong lionshine we're supposed to be finishing last remember.

 

[lionshine]

Positive: Our drafting last year. It was exceptional.

It's been pretty good for a while now...retaining not so much

It has improved immensely since roughly 2008 however last year is looking likely to be a special one.

Let's hope it continues without Kerr

Yet to really see McStay, but the other four seem 200 gamers; hoping it's with the Lions

 

[PTizzle]

I know it sounds silly, but I absolutely love Gardiner getting under the skin of players (and opposition supporters). Nothing like a bit of campaigner in a defender.

Did you mean to say 5? Aish, Taylor, Gardiner, Roberston, and Cutler.

If we beat GWS, we'll have gone a month without a loss.
