[MSB ROYS]

Leuenberger injured again...

 

[Viceregal]

Leuenberger injured again...

I was about to do a sad comment - then remembered he doesn't play for us anymore ... so more of a meh response than a sad one... (the sad you do for any player that gets hurt but means nothing specifically to you)

 

[Haso]

Lasted longer than I was expecting, to be honest.

Leuenberger injured again...

How long is he out for this time?

 

[Paul D]

4 weeks they are saying. So will miss the first 2 if not 3 regular season games.

 

[CarloLion]

With Leuenberger 4 weeks might as well mean 4 months. poor bugger.

Having said that, he's Essendon's problem!

Nice to see Jaden McGrath win a premiership in Darwin last night with St Marys. Had a good game as well. Well done Jaden.

 

[WA Lion]

Watched Redden last night for East Perth - was pretty sad really. He didn't standout even in a WAFL game, really difficult to see him playing much in the Eagles team this year. Look lost and devoid of confidence.

Tbh man in the bulk of old games I've been watching lately, Redden never really stood out. I think we overrated him back in the day. He was a player who never became the player his potential suggested.

Interestingly, i believe there was a bit of angst at the time that we went or Redden and not the more fancied Robinson.

Things have a way of correcting themselves sometimes.

For sure. I'm very happy we have Robbo over Reddo nowa days, but I suppose that's a given for every Lions supporter.

IIRC there was a fair bit of love for a certain Dayne Beams, whom we overlooked for Redden.


Things do have a way of correcting themselves. I wonder if Dayne would be the same otballer if we had developed him.

Talking of Redden i will never forget a few seasons ago the Lions were playing at Etihad. It was 2015 actually as i fondly remember Dayne Beams was playing for the Lions and it was my first time seeing him in our colours. The players were going through the pre match drills. I remember watching closely one of the drills where assistant coaches roll the ball to the in coming player who is suppose to pick up cleanly and drill and hand ball back. Each player would have done this say 6-7 times in a 2 minute period. Redden and D. Beams were in the same group. Beams never fumbled once and was so clean with his hands i remember thinking to myself this guy is going to be a great signing for our club. Redden who i had always regarded as a solid player who was underrated - must have fumbled 3-4 times doing the same drill.

Just a simple drill but i have never forgotten it and the impression it left me. If anything to me it demonstrated that Beams was the ultimate professional he was switched on and ready to go and Redden like many other Lion players had got into bad habits and wasn't switched on.

This is an embarrassing start to the season for Collingwood.
It's probably lucky we traded our pick for Beams as it was likely for us to go De Goey. The kid seems to draw drama towards him!!

Pretty hard on De Goey but nonetheless it is a hilarious situation

Looking forward to the first bounce of 2017 tonight! Can't stand either side but am hoping Carlton win simply due to the fact that the meltdown on the Richmond board would be amazing.

I dont really care who wins, but i am definately looking forward to it.
Feels like it has been forever.

Green selected for the Bombers

Chris Mayne earning 500k per year with the Pies has been named an emergency for their Round 1 clash against the Dogs

I hope Jesse White is earning as much. At least he can get a game for them.

 

[jackess]

I hope Travis Cloke kicks a bag. Just this week. He can struggle every other week.

 

[Ironmonger]

The first game of the year is always really exciting...until about halfway through the second quarter when you well and truly realise Richmond and Carlton are still both pretty crap.

 

[Milux]

Weitering forward?

 

[pulpdriver]

Weitering probably has the talent to succeed at either end but if Carlton were looking for a forward from that draft it's interesting they didn't just take Schache who is a much more sure thing as a KPF.

 

[Milux]

Not sure if richmond are good or carlton are sbit.
