Or was that a 'trident through them'

Paddy McCartin can't take a trick.  Was knocked out again in a contest in their VFL game.  That is about his 5th concussion since being drafted.  He is too brave for his own good (reminds me a bit of our Gus).

Feel for the lad.  Never like to see a talented player continuously being set back.  Hope Paddy takes the same option that Gus has and take some time out to fully recover.

Some damning stats for the pies supposedly 'elite ' midfield.  Disposals: Pendlebury 32, Treloar 35, Sidebottom 32 and Adams 29. Not a solitary score between them and very few inside 50's.  They are playing in circles!

Terrible trading for Adams, Aish, Treloar (and Hoskin-Elliot) - used up lots of first and 2nd round picks.  Took what looked like the easy road to finals and now its all falling part. 

Maybe Bugg can send his ex team mate, Adams a tweet on how it feels to play for a 'successful club'!!!

Horrible coaching by Buckley. One forward against 2or 3 defenders all day. 

 

Is Dermott special comments or on a [censored] podcast? STFU.

Isn't there some 'boutique' suburban ground the Lions could be playing at so that it looks like people turn up to watch them? I swear more people turn up to watch the Kangaroos.

Both the Lions and the Suns are serial under-performers when it comes to both revenue and crowds.

I am not sure that even if the Lions gained success that the crowds would come back. The market has moved on.

Bring on  a Tassie team !!!

The odd yellow and maroon seats don't fool anyone anymore.

Giants to go top of the ladder tonight

Adelaide have a great percentage which will keep them above a number of teams save for Port which are only one percentage point behind.

The city of Adelaide will be all betwixt and between if their two teams make the top 4

I'm not sold on Sydney. Fell over the line in back-to-back weeks against middling opposition in Richmond and Essendon. A half-decent team would have won both of those games and they'd be 4-9 and season over. Credit to them for winning both but if we play at our best I don't fear them at all, they are not a patch on the 2016 Sydney.

In saying that, Hawthorn and Sydney both winning in the same weekend is frustrating. This season has been enjoyable for many reasons but one of them has been that Hawthorn and Sydney have struggled. It's not going to be anywhere near as enjoyable in the last 9 weeks if either/both of those sides pushes for finals.

I'm trying to remain optimistic about our ability to make Top 4, but Port's demolition of the Pies today has diminished those hopes a fair bit. I can't see us breaking into that GWS, Adelaide, Geelong, Port foursome.

Hope this helps:

Port still haven't beaten anyone of importance and said they weren't a top 4 team. Geelong are also still very up and down and can be overtaken too (and at the moment their percentage is almost identical to ours).

And at the end of the day there's still debate about whether top 4 is even still an advantage anymore. So I'll just aim for a more reasonable 5-6 finish and that elimination home final. Anything else can just be a bonus. Winning tonight would certainly help those chances.

I don't think we've won enough games yet to be focusing on top 4 instead of top 8.

Top 4 isnt an advantage?

Id rather have the chance to win and earn a prelim at the g than have to travel! 

The dogs were brilliant last year for 4 weeks but dont let that fool you into thinking 5th is better than 4th because you get a home final week 1.

Especially when 3 of the top 4 teams are currently interstate teams

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
