2nds 2022 Lions Reserves and VFL thread

[Dalions]

I do believe that we will need to make some changes to our team/style next year. Hopefully we do see some movement of the supposed best 22 locked players so we do get to see it.

That’s why we need to keep Dev.
Lyons can no longer be guaranteed a spot especially next year.

Hands up who cracked it when we took Lohmann too early? C'mon, be honest.

First reserves game I have attended since the new format was introduced. Tell you what - it was cold on the outer wing the second half. But worth it. Some nice development in the young guys. And some really good team spirit which was obvious. Down to two on the bench for much of the half too.

My issue wasn't just with the quality of the player. Looks like a handy forward

I hadn't even heard of him.

Now you're just being a jackess.

I hope people don't tease you too much for deleting your account because we drafted lohmann. Everyone gets it wrong sometimes

Yeah they do. Our recruiters do frequently

Your issue was with the lack of a highlights video. Don't worry we all remember

Yeah not surprising those on here would misremember

Still can’t understand how there was zero to little footage of him last year, especially given his ability.

Did pretty well last year thankfully.

Please don't delete your account again we still love you.

And in 2016. And 2017. Weird.

Picking Ely Smith because he was jacked was probably not the best move in retrospect.

Hopefully he doesn’t delete it this year, when we have to match a bid on Ashcroft at Pick 1

Some time off gave me some good perspective on how stupid the posters on here are so it was good. Definitely recommended.

Also, happy for most on here to catch up with the list issues some of us were hoping our recruiting last year would help resolve

2016 good (thanks to Clug and Oscar), 2017 average and ever since poor

We do have a frustrating tendency to draft on "he hasn't trained properly, therefore he will improve once he gets in that environment".

Justin Clarke and Tunstill look like ticks, but Ely Smith and Patrick Wearden less so.

I was one who cracked it on draft night. I was annoyed at the cumulative wastefulness of picks over the preceding years and our lack of agility compared to other clubs. It culminated in us taking some rather speculative kids on the night and it was all a bit much for me.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I was cool as a cucumber on draft night. Be like me.

One of the good things about drafting Lohmann was that it ended our trading of that pick into future years and devaluing the pick each time.

Started in 2019 when we traded pick 16 (which we got for Beams) to Port for their future first (they took Georgiades) who subsequently finished top 4. We then combined that pick with our own first round pick in 2020 for Melbourne's first, who subsequently won the premiership. Taking Lohmann in 2021 ended that and I was glad.

Me, I wanted the club to take a big-bodied mid like mitch knevitt.

I'll never be cool enough to be like you.

 

[BuntonRules]

Can some one post the results? Thanx
