Yes, was mentioned on SEN just before.

On a serious note, they should not have brought in Fullerton and stayed small. That was their chance to get behind us with Cameron letting loose.

It should help us. 

They have a relatively inexperienced ruckman (Fort) with McStay as a backup.  McStay will spend less time as a forward and with Daniher out it further weakens their fwd line.  It leaves only Hipwood as a recognised tall forward.  Without Oscar Mc they really don't have someone to back up behind the ball as Adams is still out.

I wouldn't be surprised if they play to a short forward line and hope to catch out our tall defenders who are said to 'panic when the ball hits the ground'.  A risk for LIons to make such changes to their game plan but they have nothing to lose.  And it might just work.

Such a change would possible surprise us but fortunately, we know early enough to make adjustments to match ups and defensive positioning.

I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

Helps us with our intercept game.

Good on you joey. Special time to be there with your wife. I'm sure there is sections that will have a go at him about this but some things are bigger than footy.

I would have thought so too, especially if it ends up greasy. 

Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

What game style do we fail against most often?

He won the game for them last week

Not really, kicked the last goal, gave away a free when McCarthy had a simple set shot.  Apart from the last goal he had a pretty forgettable game.

Yeah I was kind of hoping for long balls to Daniher..

Fair enough, good luck to Joe.

A fair point on the brisbane boards - why announce it now and not as a late out just before the game? Allows us to plan somewhat , its a big change after all regardless of what you think of him as a footballer.

People over 2m tall are pretty hard to hide. If Daniher was already in Melbourne and has to fly back to Brisbane, it would be impossible for someone not to notice. And if he has stayed in Brisbane, someone would have noticed that he hadn't travelled.

Interesting use of tense, Sisso. (I’ve noticed this trend lately on Demonland. Frankly, drives me crazy.) But yes, they’re only in it because of his last kick.

Fair point but news seems to have come directly from the club.  Anyway, apparently they have brought in a tall regardless , I have no idea who Fullarton is.  Kent Kingsley anyone ?

McInerny and Daniher out leave the Lions light on for experienced talls, provided its not going to p*** with rain tonight should be a fair advantage to us....talls are often very important in finals

sorry im a computer nerd not an English professor!

Even with his brain fades and May's good record on him, Daniher is still averaging over two goals a game this year and is always capable of a match winning effort like last week.

I much prefer him out of the team than in.

Big out. Joe can be terrible but can also turn a game around in minutes

Our big 3 at the back should now dominate and we can plan to rely on those intercepts and spread / rebound hard. 

hard to see the Lions winning now

Hopefully Goody tells the boys to avoid ‘trying’ in December 

Joey got his timing all wrong
