Aish=composure=gun

not only composure, he also showed tonight amazing awareness and instinct - he knew where his teammates were and picked them out without even looking

Aish>Polec

Taylor>Yeo

Aish should never be compared to polec. Oh wait aish can actually play.

Cutler > Docherty

Robertson >>>>>> Raph Clarke > Karnezis
We are awesome!!

 

[POBT]

Gardiner = young Glass

I reckon Robbo will be dirty on himself for a few errors but he shouldn't be. That first half should give him huge confidence about his ability to make a mark at this level.

 

[Billy Puller]

Just great to get on the board!!! Darcy Gardiner is the bloke I like the most from our new draftees, he is going to be an absolute jet. Aish was outstanding, still trying to equate him to another footballer, just not sure who yet. Robertson is just tough as nails, he is a winner of the footy, I reckon we have an upgraded Colin Sylvia at his best in him. Tom Cutler has a lot of Marty Mattner about him. Let's hope we have a premiership rebounding defender in him one day!!!

I think the Aish comparison you are looking for is Simon Black

I didn't compare them. I merely stated that Aish is better

Zorks has really stepped it up this year. Love his enthusiasm around the ground. 24 disposals and 12 tackles of which 2 were run downs judged holding the ball.

 

[Caiphus]

For someone described as a pure stopper by a lot of draft watchers, I thought Gardiner's skills were very tidy and he seemed pretty composed.

Damn near had a heart attack but we got there. Saints fans on the main board making proper dicks of themselves too.

 

[Dom PC]

On a sour note, I had Rockliff as my DT captain

 

[alscotoz2]

Aish and Adcock were outstanding. Well deserved (and unexpected, IMO) win. Concentrate on next week now.

Oh, and nice one Leppa.

 

[POBT]

It has been said before but Aish is Luke Power rebooted. He plays almost exactly the same way - clever, neat and with a preparedness to put his head over it.

 

[lionshine]

Yeah Robbo made a few errors at the end but bloody hell he worked his ass off all day and a lot of those errors towards the end of the game came as a result of him being incredibly tired. I can't help but love the bloke already. He busts his gut for the team and he looks to be a real player.

 

[weevil]

Some of his contested marking was first class.

Can take a grab, wish we could make more of this.

[POBT]

Can take a grab, wish we could make more of this.

The outer wing contested mark from transition makes such a massive difference to play. It pretty much guarantees a forward fifty entry.

 

[Ceebee]

Proud,relieved and hope the boys enjoy this.
Onward and upward and sideways.
But we DO have a future.
Love my boys...always have ...always well.
Onya Leppa!!!!!!!!

yeah that bullet pass to the chest of a forward (cant remember who) leading out was brilliant

 

[lionshine]

Oh yeah I must give credit to the magician Dayne "Tinka" Zorko. He is an absolute jet! Great game from him tonight. I also have to give credit to his partner in crime Josh Green. He proved just how important he is to the Lions by coming in and having a big impact tonight.

Yeah he was everywhere in the last unfortunately he appeared to just be too buggered to pick up the pill.

 

[Eagle87]

Guys you've got a player in Aish!

West Coast traded down and gave up the chance to get him, so I'm watching him with interest, looked good today... Has good decision making skills in tight - always a great head start ...

Congrats on the win

 

[Nick Lions]

Lots to like about the performances of some of the young guys tonight. Aish, Taylor, Gardiner, Robertson were particularly impressive. Really liked Raines and Adcock tonight as well 100% effort. I think Rocky might have been tagged tonight. (Well obviously) Unusually quiet game for him.

Cutler > Docherty

Cutler to Yeo
Clarke and karni are not fans of contact, don't get the comparison, Robbo has played more than them both combined.
West and longer enough said
Doc who knows but we have Squizzy, different positions

Robertson plays at an intensity level which probably would be best served having this year in the 2s, being fresher to get in the gym etc. But, he is playing ones, he is doing a good job, but he has an undersized body for the role he plays and I would think he will probably be sore until Wednesday. Robertson has a bit of the swans Josh Kennedy about him, remember it took 5 seasons for him to become a regular senior player, it also took Jobe Watson close to 4 seasons before he became a regular. Robertson is a good talent. He is an upgrade on Lester, even though Lester is a good player to have.
