Do we get a quarter pounder for that?

IIRC it was mentioned before game started that we had 6 players over 100 games and 11 less than 44 games
Not a bad effort when half your team is fairly inexperienced!

It is easy to forget that we have added Mayes and Clarke into the best 22 in the first half of the season. Both will be guns but have played a handful of games each and each game they look a little more accomplished and comfortable. They are starting to look right at home!

We can still finish 6th and get a home final if we win all our remaining games.

We turned up at the start of the game. When we don't have 1 bad quarter we are usually competitive enough to be in the game, instead of giving them a 30 point head start. We need to keep hold of the ball more, when we win the ball and turn it over within 1 or 2 possessions, the entire team has to run forward and back forward and back, switching from offensive running, to setting up the defensive structures. It is taxing, mentally and physically, especially for a young team. It's part skill, part decision making, but it's not easy to fix, our players are inexperienced and haven't played a lot if footy together as a group, they are
to use to each others games, nor the game plan. When everyone knows what they should be doing, and is doing it, that's when you can move the ball quicker, because players are leading to where the ball carrier is looking for them, and it's timed so they can turn and kick. I've noticed often a lead us given but it's mistimed. By the time the lead is noticed, it's too late. This will be fixed in time and experience.
Lisle keeps getting better each senior game, still young for a KPF, surely must play more senior footy.

Lisle's game was good by his standards, I feel that we should play him for the rest of the season FF or CHF.
Lester and Mayes should be permanent fixtures also. When Yeo learns when the right time to take the game on he will be a great asset on the rebound. Harwood is also a smart player we should keep rewarding.

Our close to full strength side can stick with most teams when we're focused. We are just missing that bit of class in the hardest part of the game (late 3rd & 4th quarter) to put teams away such as the eagles and crows game.
I'm ignoring the 40 point margin because the boys knew the game was lost when it was 25 points. They dropped their heads and pressure a bit and the margin grew.
So, 25 points against 5th on the ladder at Subi is pretty good I reckon.

Matthew Campbell saying that 2 players playing their 150th in the same game was "Ironic" made me laugh. 
The Carlton game too.
Hypothetically if we had a Tippet in the team I could see us being at least 6-5 if not 7-4.
If we had Tippet, we'd still be waiting for him to serve his suspension...
That is true which is why I said a Tippett, referring to a decent power forward. Just used his name due to familiarity.

We really aren't as bad as our results would suggest. I'd kinda lost hope before the essendon game, but we've definitely shown what we're capable of when we get it together. Perhaps this is merely wishful thinking on my part, but i think our 2nd quarter vs carlton wasn't an aberration.
Also, Jack Redden. At the start of the year, i thought he'd never be more than a good accumulator who tackles hard(not that there's anything wrong with that). There's nothing wrong with that, but this season i think he's started to show what he's really capable of. At his best, he can take marks, kick goals, is great in traffic, uses the ball well and is great at running players down. He's rarely done all of these things in the one game, but if he ever puts it all together...
i'm excited (of course, this is pure speculation).

A look at the stats from the Dockers game shows Golby had 29 disposals Lester and Mayes had 25 each. If they can maintain those sort of figures and Lisle can reproduce the forward line marking with Brown and Merrett back in the team I can see us roaring home in the second half of the season. Go Lions
I have a very strong feeling we're about to go on show for the remainder of the year, starting with a win over the Cats. Will finish 11-11 at least.
We've clearly been building for most of the season, time to put it all together starting with our strongest possible line up this week. We're not without a chance.

A positive couple of days:
Luenberger and Zorko successfully re-signed and beyond just renewing contracts, clearly love being at the club.
Mayes rising star - and all the good signs of being a future star!

Joel Patfull. Not only stops the goals but kicks them too.
The fact that even though Jonathan Brown missed one, we didn't need him to spur us on.
