2nds 2022 Lions Reserves and VFL thread

[Tom14]

Have been flicking it on and off but pretty tough to deal with their tall options with what we have left in the ressies right now - McDonald, Weideman and Brown are all experienced KPF and Van Rooyen looks a good talent. Giving up a lot of size and experience.

My comments that would go along with that probably aren't broadcastable.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Instructions must be: just let everything go... unless it's Mitch Robinson.

I liked how apparently just strongly indicating that the guy hit him in the mouth (which he reacted to and was penalised for) was enough to intimidate that shrimpy umpire to add a 50 to that penalty.

 

[a mayes ing]

Only watched parts of the 2nd half but Mitch has looked crap, giving away frees, hack kicks and generally giving it straight back to them.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Good experience gained for the younger lads against some veteran Dee's in a final.

 

[McIvor]

Probably the last time we'll see Mitch Robinson

in Lions colours in this up-coming last quarter.

I couldn't imagine he'd get a call up next week or the week after when we get that far.

 

[AFLQLD]

Some pre-season homework:

Lohmann- make possessions count, better positioning in F50, stay in the game to have more impact.

Sharp - quality disposals and impact. More run and carry followed by good disposal.

BColeman - involvement and using pace and overhead ability to open up defence.

Tunstill- clean possession and disposal.

Madden - run and carry, disposal

HSmith - body work, rucking technique

McFadyen - Disposal under pressure, defensive positioning.

Prior - disposal, using his size to impact the game.

 

[ZoBlitz]

With the missing talls, we needed to dominate the contested ball and we got easily beaten in that area. No one really stood up for a recall although Robbo was probably our best over the four quarters.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Probably the last time we'll see Mitch Robinson in Lions colours in this up-coming last quarter.

I couldn't imagine he'd get a call up next week or the week after when we get that far.

Do you think Robinson would get picked up by another club for 2023?

 

[iBeng]

Do you think Robinson would get picked up by another club for 2023?

Depends if he wants to move his family to Vic for a club like North or Essendon...

 

[RoyBoy17]

Great effort from the reserves this season. A lot to like from the top up players and our senior players showed the right attitude and leadership as well.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

What’s the deal with Mitch Cox? I haven’t seen much 2s but he always seems to be in the best. A chance to stay on?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Depends if he wants to move his family to Vic for a club like North or Essendon...

Yeah I agree. If he sees his future back in Victoria anyway (Which I think would be likely as he wants to get into the media), then he could probably get a 1 year deal at a club like North.

 

[knaf]

Just watched parts of the game. BColman shows flashes, hope he can have a big preseason and put it all together next year. Plenty of development still in Lohmann and Tunstill. And in fact HSmith. Not sure about the rest. Got the impression that Sharp might be better as an inside player. Can run all day but not great acceleration.

 

[KissKiss]

What’s the deal with Mitch Cox? I haven’t seen much 2s but he always seems to be in the best. A chance to stay on?

Always seemed like an odd pick up to me. Not really an area of need now or into the future. He did nothing wrong but not sure I see the point of keeping him

 

[Section 5]

Well done for the year finishing 2nd after the H & A season
Got beaten by a good side
Having a good VFL team has helped our AFL side remain competive when covid and injuries hit
If Casey go on to win the GF at least we will be the only team that beat them

 

[davemc_lions]

Went down and watched.
Demons just had to big bodies and cleaner.
Umps killed us..
Had the bad case of the fumbles at times.

Robbo tried and tried. Hung around afterwards for some selfies with the kids.
Thanks again Robbo for everything.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Rattling good Prelim between GC and Southport happening right now. Seven Mate if you're near a teev.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Rattling good Prelim between GC and Southport happening right now. Seven Mate if you're near a teev.

Up for grabs at 3Q time.

 

[BRAB]

Hopefully Southport can beat Casey next week

 

[AFLQLD]

Full credit to Southport, the only standalone club in the VFL north of the Murray and they are in the grand final. I know they have always had plenty of money but they have made it count in the field.

You'd think he would have won it had he played the rounds he played in the seniors.

Wondering if he is wanting to get named our best VFL player at the upcoming awards night...Think of Keays, Bastinac, Ballenden etc

Played the 6 AFL games so he would have gone close
