2nds 2022 Lions Reserves and VFL thread

[briztoon]

Does the fact that his brother is at the Lions, have any influence in Tom deciding whether to move or not? Not ideal to be named emergency or specifically 23rd man, too often as happened last year with Tom.

Pretty confident that most if not all of the below would get regular games at some of the weaker clubs;

Dev really like him but cannot see him playing permanently in the mid or wing this year as Sharp seems to be favoured for the wing. From WA and I believe he would get a start at the Eagles next year.
Payne has no hope replacing Andrews, Adams, or even Gardner. If Gardner signs a new contract surely must want to leave. Lester named emergency so I think Payne's papers are marked. Even though contracted, could see him at Nth Melbourne with Ben McKay.
Tom Berry, love his enthusiasm and will to get to the contest, seems as hard as nails, disposal at times needs to improve but must be thinking of leaving to get a regular opportunity.
Prior, can't see him getting a regular run this year, another from WA who would be close to getting a start at some other clubs.
Kiddy, one of my favourite players and now with Zorko playing back, might struggle to get back in the team, but is so classy would get a gig at a number of clubs.
Fullarton, not sure on Tom but although 23, has not played more than 20 games and think there is still some development
Madden, as we know super fast, disposal can let him down a bit but his speed to get to the contest is a big plus.

most of the above named are contracted beyond 2022, but suspect at least one or two might want to seek opportunities elsewhere.

It’s not like the choice is solely up to TBerry if he stays or looks for opportunities elsewhere.

He’s one of a long list of uncontracted players at the club, and he’s in my top 5 players who might be delisted, if we need list spots during the trade and draft period.

Of course he could be delisted, and redrafted with a late pick, after we match bids on Ashcroft and Fletcher. Which would give him two more years on the list on a draftees salary.

I just haven't seen enough from T Berry to suggest he is as good a player as Ben Keays

. Now, time to log on to the VFL game. Will be watching him pretty closely today.

 

[Clarkythelion]

Pacy wingman who can run himself to ground from defensive 50 to forward 50.

Running man | Langdon's endurance among the best

The AFL has released its Telstra Tracker data with Ed Langdon’s endurance second best in the league

www.melbournefc.com.au

I think they said he is the only player in the league so far this year to spent zero time on the bench, for a wingman to not get a rest all game and be know as the best runner in that position is pretty unbelievable. you will see him way down back as much as you will see him kick some great goals.

 

[scoman]

Pretty horrible start. Geelong with only 7 AFL listed players and we have hardly touched it. Down by two goals with 5 minutes played.

Hang on we break out of the center and Lohman with a shot on goal.

 

[scoman]

Make that down by 3 goals after 7 minutes.

I don't think he's ever been as good as Ben but he's the sort of player who would win a game at many clubs . Gets a lot of it any time he's played M/F ,very hard at it . Not all that much wrong with him except we think we currently have better players in the role he plays best at. And maybe another one or two waiting.

 

[scoman]

Now 4 Goals down after 9 minutes. Looking like a bloodbath. Wowsers!!

 

[BRAB]

Wow we look horrendous. R.I.P

 

[Hollow Knight]

Can’t find the stream link, can someone hook me up?

 

[mattsmob]

H Smith looking decent in the ruck

[Mr Ripper]

Dead-set turned up thinking it’s going to be a walk in the park. Plodding.

 

[mattsmob]

Becoming increasingly concerned about Wilmot’s ball use out of the back half. Was a concern around draft time that he wasn’t the cleanest ball user and it’s pretty noticeable when he’s trying to pinpoint a kick.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Lohmann is an absolute pocket rocket.

Has senior footballer written all over him.

 

[mattsmob]

Lohmann is a beauty though, finds enough of the ball to be moved further up the ground in the future but he makes things happen close to goal.

 

[Clarkythelion]

Lohmann look alright so far, keeps the legs moving and reads the play well.

 

[lionshine]

I love Lohmann’s forward craft.

 

[mattsmob]

I love Lohmann’s forward craft.

Been aggressive with his tackling and pressure as well, looks a good all round player

 

[scoman]

Geelong boys not a fan at this point its fair to say.

 

[BRAB]

Lohmann is so obviously a forward. Looks so natural for him.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Been aggressive with his tackling and pressure as well, looks a good all round player

He reminds me of a parallel universe version of Cody Weightman that isn’t a diving flog.

He’s going to be more than Weightman, more strings to his bow already and he’s having an impact up the ground as well

 

[scoman]

I think its important to say that I never doubted our recruiting staff for one moment when selecting Kai Lohman

 

[Hollow Knight]

Absolutely back in the contest now.

Should be a fun game.

 

[scoman]

Thought Triffert was good in the middle of the quarter for a couple minutes, Managed to keep the ball in tight for a bit and just slow the game.
