2017 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

[Cockliff38]

With Talia named as the Swans ruck? Do they have any?

Darcy Cameron and Cal Sinclair also in that side

Ah cool, shows how few I recognise of the Swans list at the moment. Shows how many injuries they have.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

So we are allowed to play unlimited listed guys because it is against a fellow AFL team. With close to a full list to select from does that mean when we play a non-AFL NEAFL side, listed players will actually miss out on a game. Doesn't seem right.

[Alas Smith]

That's one fine looking reserves team. Has our reserves team beat Sydney's at all recently?

Just looked up, 33% in the last 4 years.

 

[T Factor]

Strong line up, it is quite nice to have some pressure from the reserve side. Is there any way we can watch the game?

 

[knaf]

Weirdly almost looking forward to watching this more than the seniors... some real talent running around here

In addition you can actually see the players on NEAFL U-Tube not like a distribute ant hill on the AFL app

I had a feeling we'd had a couple of wins but these results were what was at the front of mind

Round 19, 2016: Sydney Swans 24.16 (160) defeated Brisbane Lions 3.7 (25) at Blacktown
Round 5, 2016: Sydney Swans 20.15 (135) defeated Brisbane Lions 3.7 (25) at Coorparoo
Round 1, 2016: Sydney Swans 25.12 (162) defeated Brisbane Lions 5.10 (40) at Burpengary

Similar to Hawthorn’s infamous “Kennett curse” following their 2008 premiership victory over Geelong, since beating the Swans in the 2013 decider the Lions have not won a single NEAFL match against them, losing their last nine by an average margin of over 66 points.

Cannot see it happening again this year, you would have to agree we are better than that in 2017?

 

[jackess]

You'd hope so

 

[BlackGun1]

Not sure why Keays is the stay-at-home emergency. Very counter productive for his confidence you'd think.

What saying 'you're the next man up from the 25 odd not selected' is not a confidence builder?

If I can't be in the 22, being First Reserve sounds pretty good.

 

[Dalions]

You'd hope so

They did get beaten convincingly enough in the shortened match at Metricon last week.
But it is a strong team. The strongest we could possibly field. You would want to hope they can put up a decent performance.
Best chance in some time to beat Sydney.

It does sound good.
But some good solid time in the midfield sounds better.

From the Late Mail feed:

Queensland reporter Michael Whiting churning out the pars for us here on Late Mail Live. Good signs for two highly-rated Lions youngsters:

THE BRISBANE Lions got their first run on the Gabba for 2017 on Friday morning, with two of their prized youngsters showing good signs on the way back from injury.

Josh Schache (knee) and Hugh McCluggage (ankle) have missed more than a month of footy, but ran strongly in a light session under sunny skies.

The pair of teenagers have been chosen to play in the NEAFL against Sydney in Bankstown on Saturday, as the Lions near almost a full list to pick from.

Schache, the number two draft pick in 2015, and McCluggage, number three last year, are both in the Lions' best 22 when fit and would likely need just one strong game to put their hand up for senior selection.

No.23 draft pick Alex Witherden will also play his first game in almost a year after overcoming a broken leg.

Injuries have ravaged the Lions in recent seasons, but only Allen Christensen (collarbone), Rhys Mathieson (ankle) and Sam Skinner (ACL) are unavailable this weekend.

 

[POBT]

Is this Schache's first ever reserves game?

 

[iBeng]

Is this Schache's first ever reserves game?

Trying to find the 2016 statistics to see if he has any games played but their website is...less than helpful.

 

[scott_the_man]

Will be interesting to see how our draftees from last year do in this game. All 6 of them taken in the main draft have been named to play

 

[Nunez]

Is this Schache's first ever reserves game?

I think so. When he was dropped from the seniors leading into that Sydney game he was just rested and then at the end of the year he was cotton wooled.

 

[dlanod]

Is this Schache's first ever reserves game?

Yep.

[Tairy Greene]

No, but first indications on Berry are that he'll be a very good player in time.

You saying he'll be a Berry good player, Rip?

 

[Mr Ripper]

You saying he'll be a Berry good player, Rip?

You're better than that, Tairy.

 

[jackess]

You're better than that, Tairy.

It wasn't Tairy good.
