[Mr Ripper]

Can't find if this thread otherwise exists, if it does, mods, do your thing.

Anyhoo...

Dunno whether this fixture is official, but we'll go with it for now.

If this is accurate, four games in Melbourne counting a Frankston game with no venue scheduled. And of course one in Geelong for the Victorian supporters. Carlton at Ikon. Collingwood and Richmond venue yet to be scheduled. I will try to get to a few.

So Ah Chee played a bit of both games? Was only the last quarter of the firsts though

Maybe all 3 of Sharp, Prior and AhChee played a bit of the VFL game as well?

Exciting stuff to hear about Jimmy Tunstill looking good early, should only get better with size and more time in a professional system. Does anybody know whether Riley Green is an academy player or a mature ager?

He’s a mature age player born in 2001 from the Sherwood Magpies signed on to the Lions VFL side.

said it was an encouraging first up effort from his men but stressed there were plenty of areas to improve before taking on the Sharks who are one of the genuine premiership contenders.

Hahn said he was happy with the spread of contributors in the 8.7 (55) to 6.1 (37) victory but lamented some wasted scoring opportunities from dominant field position.

“Everyone did their bit which was really pleasing,’’ he said.

“The usual suspects in the midfield like Rhys (Mathieson), Dev (Robertson) and Ely (Smith) were very good, but we thought we played well all over the ground.’’

First year player James Tunstill was a standout, looking clean and sharp in a two-goal performance, while fellow draftee Kai Lohman also impressed.

Harry Sharp, Cal Ah Chee and Jaxon Prior also made an impact in the opening half before heading off to play in the final quarter of the AFL side’s AAMI Community Series match against Adelaide.

Tom Fullarton booted three goals in the opening half before heading down back to fill a key defensive post, a move the coaches have been experimenting with all pre-season.

“He (Tom) won some strong contests down there and is really embracing the new challenge he has been set,’’ Hahn said.

Hahn praised the performance of veteran Ryan Lester

who not only delivered a reminder of his readiness to resume his position in the senior side, but has also been playing a significant role in helping with the development of the younger players in the VFL program.

“The experience of Froggy and his voice is really helping our younger players,’’ he said.

“He gives great direction out there.’’

How’s Mitch Cox going?

 

[lionraven]

How’s Mitch Cox going?

Has no trouble rising. Is getting a good showing at practice matches. Has explosive plays, really bursts out, can be eye-catching at times. Needs to work on endurance.

Scratchy vs Southport now at South Pine, 9.30 tomorrow (weather pending).

Would you believe 1pm at Burpengary...

Are you sure
With that much rain it might be possible

 

[Mr Ripper]

Pleasantly surprising comfortable win by us. Some shocking disposal by foot, but tackling and pressure absolutely supreme. Like what Buzza brings to the team.

Tunstill seems to really have a good ability to hit the scoreboard each match. Is he playing most of his minutes as an inside mid?

 

[a mayes ing]

Tunstill is doing well. Got 2 goals last week iirc and 3 this week. I assume he is playing more forward than midfield.

We also seem to be in disagreement with Southport about what the final score was
