Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere but is there a chance we keep our forward half as is and chuck Brandon Ryan down back seeings as we are going to need someone for multiple weeks it appears
Geez everything is against us this year! Huge effort if we make finals from here! Who are we expecting to come in for Charlie? Or do we just shuffle a few players around and a straight swap for Starce?
I actually ran into Lester a few years back while he was visiting his folks in the hills near Melbourne. Would not meet a nicer person. Was asking me questions and seemed genuinely interested in the answers. I can certainly see why the love him so much.
I’m of the firm opinion you don’t trade players that are the fabric of your club. These blokes are vital. Huge on and off the field for the lions and in my personally opinion should and will be one club players. Entering their prime years from now. They are the future.
Well… Mick Price was quoted saying yesterday… “Can win, should win, will win, bet irresponsibly”
It should be winning but anything can happen. It’s too short to have any fun with though!
Ahhhh what a shit nights sleep that was! Not only was I awake… stressing about the crap I will cop if we lose but one of my horses is going around as a short prized fav today at Caulfield! Today could either be amazing… or absolutely devastating! Couldn’t be more excited for it though! This year...
I don’t mind the idea of Froggy taking Curnow. There will be stages where he gets shown up but I feel he has the ability to do the job. Harris to come across and chop out on the long balls in. Leaves Harris to be able to play his normal game/take the resting ruck and Payne/Diz to take Harry
Dev has certainly been better than Tunstill in the twos but he also appears to get a fair few more midfield minutes than Jimmy does. Personally I really like Jimmy as a player.
It doesn’t really phase me that much. Can’t keep an entire list together every year. I do feel Tunstill would have moved past him come next year anyway
Honest question…. If you don’t enjoy watching the lions play then why do you apparently support them? Just curious
Put a positive spin on what you have said…. We haven’t seen our best footy this year and we are still sitting second on the ladder…. Possibly a game clear come the end of the round.
As you know though... Games aren’t all about stats are they. Especially when playing as a forward. Playing through the guts I would have to agree but certainly not as a forward. Strictly looking at stats is no way to read our game and it’s a naive way to form an opinion on someone
To all those potting Rayner and his role in the team at the moment. Just watch him shine with Gunston out of the team. Feel free to return to this post in the coming weeks.
I came here to say the exact same. He has been massive this year. His defensive intensity is at a level we haven’t seen. I understand he can be frustrating but he is absolutely vital to us.
