Poor old Lyons. Was one of our best against Port then one quiet week against Fremantle has him squeezed out of contention for the likes of Sam Kerridge.
perhaps he has a bit of intestinal fortitude?
I think it's a fair assumption that there are other clubs where he'd be getting more opportunity. Adelaide has one of the best midfields in the league and has had very few midfield injuries recently. But do you think Port Adelaide would ignore a 19 year old midfielder who's conistently dominant in the SANFL? They select people for showing a flicker of form in the magoos.
Lyons can kick goals from anywhere, only needs 3-4 shots a game to make a big difference. Get him used to AFL pace and he will be alright.
Thats the pace of AFL, the pressure that he isnt used to. Once he adapts, even Callinan took time to adapt to the shorter amount of time with the ball.I hope you are right - I though his kicking wass ordinary. Certainly not anyway near the bloke in your avi

Mate, you're a good lad and normally a good contributor, but living in Outer Mongolia must have really got to you this time.
Your posts in this thread certainly don't represent your finest hour.
Yes, the SANFL reap too much money off the clubs - its their licences. Unfortunately they set those rules, and your club agreed to abide by them.
Port got their licence from the SANFL - the AFL licence it to the SANFL, and you have a sub-licence from the SANFL. You got the right to beat the other clubs to get that sub-licence by claiming that there would be 35,000 screaming fans in teal, black and white, with an average IQ of 45, at each and every game on average.
Ha, ha, ha. What we didn't know was that 20,000 of them would be represented by a handful of tarps - which actually raised the total and average IQ of the crowd.
Port supporters keep bleating about the money that the SANFL get. It has to get a reasonable amount, because by agreeing to taking the AFL licences, it agreed to wreck its own powerful competition, and to reduce the ability of its SANFL clubs to earn money, hence the need to give them money to survive.
I do agree that the SANFL takes too much because it gives its clubs too much - but not by the total amount it gets from Port or Crows matches. They are entitled to a reasonable return.
However, because Port has up until this year been a pathetic imitation of a footy club for the last 4 or so years that needs constant propping up to prevent it going into liquidation - nasty but true - it has financially wrecked the SANFL who have been drained all of their financial resources completely. The SANFL want to give you away for nothing to the AFL, with the only fight being that the AFL doesn't want you until the end of this year, while the SANFL want to give you away now. Neither party wants to have to cough up with the 3 or 4 million to keep you alive this year.
To blame anybody else for the mis-management within Port Adelaide and to a lesser degree the SANFL, is completely shying away from facts, which normally is totally foreign to you.
Time for another beer or two, my friend.
