[Nathan Barley]

Great goal from whoever that is

 

[twhowler]

Just turned it on.

Really nice pass and poise from Dev. Then strong mark albeit bad kick.

He’s further back this year than he was last year really. Small forward role - behind Lohmann as next in. Inside mid - Lyons. Wing - ah chee AND sharp. He might even be behind Cockatoo for mid forward role.

Boys need to switch on here. This English comm will blow a gasket if Frankston hit the lead.

 

[JasRulz63]

Great work rate by Sharp to launch the ball inside 50 and then follow-up.

 

[irel]

This is how you react when you're dropped from the seniors.
Sharp emphatic that he should be in the seniors playing in Adelaide tomorrow.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Did Reville nominate for the MSD?

I believe so.

 

[Mayestro]

Wonderful flick handball out of the pack by Tunstill to Lyons who kicked it to Kai. He’s having a good game.

 

[Mr Ripper]

So many players have no idea how to adapt their games to differing conditions.

Just wanted to mention as well that Dev currently has had 19 tackles for the game

Next best by any player tonight is 7

EDIT: Dev finished with 21 tackles for the whole game, really professional performance (BOG)

Just wanted to mention as well that Dev currently has had 19 tackles for the game so far

I think he’ll make a good afl player. He’s very strong. Can be a bit sloppy by foot. But makes things happen near goals.

I’d chase him hard if i were west coast and play him 70/30 pressure forward/inside mid

 

[Cubs2Lions]

It’s a shame cause he will be a good future midfielder / pressure forward in the AFL but that will be unfortunately at another club most likely now, given the depth our club has now in those roles + Levi Ashcroft hopefully coming in at the end of 2024 as well.

Wish him well whatever route he takes though, if that’s with us or another club (come the end of the year)

 

[T Rick]

So based on the teams they have taken Madden and Fullarton to Adelaide

Wouldn't have thought the weather would suit Tom as a strategic sub.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Wouldn't have thought the weather would suit Tom as a strategic sub.

Maybe Tom’s selection is insurance depth in our tall department for tomorrows match, if god forbid Andrews or Gardiner got injured and then we are officially screwed

 

[dlanod]

Wouldn't have thought the weather would suit Tom as a strategic sub.

In general travelling teams like to take a tall as insurance and a short as a sub.

 

[Mr Ripper]

21 (!) tackles by Dev vs Frankston. That's just nuts. Why is he second to the ball so often?

 

[luthor]

Had 23 possies too.

44 P's plus T's.

Sounds alright to me

 

[ZoBlitz]

Especially strange numbers at VFL level too...

Extended highlights of the Dolphins and Lions VFL clash in round ten

[Miller1971]

Bruce Reville once again confirming the Lons erred in taking Blake Coleman over him, absolute howler.

Been dominant at QAFL level in a team marching to the wooden spoon too.

 

[Nathan Barley]

1 substandard small forward or another

What ever club you ran in the past must have purring along, hey Miller? You always seem to have all the answers.

 

[Miller1971]

Never run one, just commenting on the young talent in QLD. Didn't know that wasn't allowed?

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Just another pot shot in hindsight on the back of one good game. But I'm sure Reville's 11 games (for 4 goals return) in the VFL last year were brilliant ones too. Or is your defintion of "absolute howler" somehow not what I'm thinking it is?

I don't much rate what Blake's been able to put on the park and think he'll be short odds for a delistment, but if you somehow think Bruce is far ahead of him... well, let's just say I don't think much of your assessment on young talent.

The only reason I asked if you ran a club is you make every choice sound so easy. I can only assume you knew from experience.

May still be available for Lions this offseason for a rookie spot.
Blake could get delisted and swapped for a dominant Bruce Reville.

I suspect part of the Blake Coleman decision was bigger picture stuff within our list management thinking, although having said that Collingwood were really keen to get him.

 

[Dalions]

I have heard Kiddy say on more than 1 occasion that he was a massive Collingwood fan growing up. Pretty sure that Blake was too so there may have been some thought that if Blake got there Kiddy might want to follow.
But you would want to back the culture of the club to keep him either way.
