Preview Rd 5, 2014 - Brisbane Lions v Richmond

[Dan12]

Is there any chance Lisle could play in defence and follow Griffiths everywhere? When Griffiths gives their first ruck a chop out, Lisle could too. It would allow McGuane, Brown and Paine to play together as none would need to ruck and all of them can take contested marks.

 

[jackess]

Maybe McGuane could play down back. Even on Riewoldt.

nah, we have defenders we can put on Rewoltd. We need forwards who can take contested marks which Mcguane can.

 

[Brisbane2013]

Lisle might be a sloppy player and he might be timid, but he has one of the finest marks around in our club, we should really consider him as a forward option

He did spend time up forward last week. No use when the ball hardly goes there.

 

[jackess]

Harwood dropped. Cue board meltdown?

 

[jackess]

Gardiner, Lester, McGuane in for Leuey, Hanley and Harwood.

 

[acuguy]

Unbelievable- Harwood dropped, but Golby stays in! Here we go again!

 

[Crawb]

Robertson named on the ball!

 

[jackess]

With Gardiner in surely Lisle plays forward.

 

[pulpdriver]

Harwood dropped. Cue board meltdown?

Hmmm.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

You don't drop left footers, you just don't

 

[acuguy]

And the full blown tank is on!

 

[jackess]

What's the record for most players in a side from the previous years draft. Anyone?

GWS and GC might be able to beat 5 I guess.

 

[GrayLion]

Unbelievable- Harwood dropped, but Golby stays in! Here we go again!

Most likely still not up to it, injury niggles?

 

[acuguy]

You don't drop left footers, you just don't

but our bloke can't kick!!!

 

[Gibbo_88]

ohhhh wow. One of the biggest defeats at the gabba is on its way.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Yeah, not sure how Golby got away with that performance.

Anywho - More fresh faces and once again, Leppa sticking with the kids.

Go Lions

3 weeks in a row he has been a disgrace, surely it is a change in role for him, that is the only way they could possibly keep him in the team

 

[jackess]

8 in the team that were not on our list last year.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Interesting we're still sticking with the full blown youth policy. No tagger either.

 

[lionshine]

Hmm I don't mind those changes to be honest. Gardiner will most likely replace Lisle down back and Lisle will play up forward and play as the back up Ruck. Lester comes back in which is a positive and McGuane will play his 1st game as a Lion vs. his old club! There will be zero excuses if we do not at least break even with the Tigers in regards to contested ball and clearances. Moloney, Redden, Rockliff, Lester, Robertson all in and more then capable of winning clearances.

Isn't our backline a little to tall? Clarke, Gardiner and Patfull. Richmond only have 2 talls in Riewoldt and Griffiths and I would have thought Patfull would play on Riewoldt even though he can play small. I guess Clarke or Gardiner will get the job on Jack, probably Clarke.

 

[a mayes ing]

Wtf. I dont know why Gardiner is in. I dont think he was baanging the door down? And why the **** is Golby still in over harwood. Harwood is arguably at least the same or better as a small defender and has an infinitely better kick.
