Toast Ryan Lester 200 Game Tribute Thread

[Chucky_23]

Not sure how to link it but there’s a nice bit in a thing on Lions social media where Lester, Rayner and Berry are driving around in a golf buggy. It’s where Lester talks about giving a message to his 18 year old self - take things on a bit more, be less safe and be prepared to make mistakes to be greater. It’s good advice for us all.

Also, he mentioned Matt Maguire being a good mentor when he stated. I saw Matt with Lewy Taylor and Darcy Gardiner

Goose Maguire was another ripper; shame injuries cruelled his career the way they did. I remember when he was at St Kilda in his prime playing on Browny and he was a beast of a back man for a 2-3 year period. Very good at the Lions too.

It’s the funniest things I’ve ever seen on this forum

 

[alscotoz2]

[Crusha]

Maybe this will console 3KZ.


The very moment that it all began:

thru the years 2010-2018 ..................... (i ran out of time)

The boys did Froggy proud

They were throwing that frog up at the end of the song. Reckon Froggy did not want the limelight.

After listening to all the media bits two thoughts come to mind.

The first is that Ryan's coaches didn't turn his career around by telling him to attack more. I used to say in the match threads I would have a drink every time Ryan got a kick. I had no idea he had such a defensive mind set that was limiting him so much. He had to figure it out himself. This is an indictment of all his coaches as it shows they have failed in man management. I wonder who else is being mis-managed.

The second is I assume Ryan, amongst 200 game players, has played more seconds game?

I was interested and VFL and NEAFL games were estimated to be around 50-60 in this article. Surely the accurate number is known.

Also this was interesting but a few years old (also info in the comments): Player who played 100 reserves games.

Off the topic but how do you know someone has been banned?

Go to their uses name profile or one of their posts and it will have suspended on it.

I hope the club can link a replay of Frog's post season interview that was clearly about to occur when Fox cut to Bounce immediately after Rayner was interviewed.

We got that interview in the telecast in Brissie.
I could take a recording off my tv and post it maybe?

I've made the mistake and just watched it on Fox, not thinking of the 7 broadcast or telecast whichever it is.

I usually watch on Kayo as well but I accidently found out out last late Sunday game that Channel 7 continue the broadcast, while Fox Footy quickly starts that juvenile show 'Bounce'. I am assuming that Fox continue with the interviews and short analysis in case they want to re-use it during the week.

Has 3KZ been a naughty boy?

I was naughty, but I have been rehabilitated. My redemption story mirrors Ryan Lester’s!


Notice Cam Rayner’s ‘Froggy Love’ - it’s a beautiful thing.
