Nailed it

Go to training which from training reports you do and have a chat with Fritta, man to man call him hairstyle, speak to Goody tell him he has no idea and that Jeffo at the weight he is should be playing and taking the #1 defender up the ground like Petty is. Tell him Fritta at 14cm shorter nullifying Andrews was a dumb move Stop being a keyboard warrior and actually man up

We have a lot of young and inexperienced players when the pressure rises many go into their shells and play the safe option. They stop taking risks

He may have panicked but at normal speed it isn’t easy Danniher is upright he baulks and Danniher doesn’t move. He steps to his right as the handball to Lever isn’t on, Danniher lunges at him and it looks like the ball is in his right hand, pretty difficult handball. But at the end of the day many things shape the result not just Nibbler

I’ll watch it tomorrow and take your word for it but not how I remember it

Salem will come in probably for Tomlinson although the defence were good tonight, Brown likely to go back to the VFL Petty rolled an ankle should get up

6. Viney 5. Kossie 4. Clarry 3. Rivers 2. Langdon 1. Gawn

I think he made a lot of it tbh,

Remember you said last week you were taking a break, heed your own advice

No he wasn’t that photo is after the event Nibbler rolled over from his front Danniher was upright when Nibbler baulked

It’s more than that the game has evolved a little the role of a forward is Lead up hard to the footy run deep to the square when the other tall leaves that area and potentially block their direct opponent on the way through to give your team mate the space they need stop your opponent from being able to rebound freely from D50 Press up on your opponent and prevent easy transition Lead out wide or high up the ground to take the intercept defender away from the hotspot as teams did to May when Lever was out Smalls get front and centre to win the ground ball or apply a tackle to lock it in Get separation from your opponent and/or create 1v 1s in your F50

They were behind Brisbane players and one of them was Daniher he baulked but they corralled him well didn’t over commit. Throughout the game it’s the small things not just that moment

No I don’t blame the umpire it was blatant deliberate. Although they could have squared up for the poor deliberate OOB call on Rivers in the second (only joking)

Cmon he wasn’t tripped, he dived. Could see he had no options forward and didn’t want to turn it over, In hindsight if he wanted the boundary handball it of the Lions leg

You really actually have no idea, Fritta who I have been critical of recently played a very solid team game tonight and played as a defensive forward on Andrews. And you claim you coached Sweet Jesus

So close, just needed to nail 1 in the last, super proud of the effort and a lot of the team first things from tonight. No doubt those who were slating the team pre game will be out and about on this post game thread The team should hold their heads up tonight

You people are pathetic, fcs he was waiting for a hit up lead, they had numbers deep and he didn’t want to bomb it Serio supporters like you need to F off

It’s going to end up taking the same amount of time as Junior Riolis did, nearly two seasons. JS29s choice, poor life decision he bears the consequences and a line should be put through him

What a s@it comment

Long way to go especially for an underage tall and FFS stop panicking every time someone on Demonland provides comments which are not substantiated in any way. What will be will be

He will be getting shown footage of his efforts by the forwards coach, last weeks footage would be horrific. Whether coming in ill or not he just refused to give any effort Sometimes a statement needs to be made

Needs to just work hard, the rest falls into place eventually if you have the talent which he does

He’s a natural competitor and as such will play on. He”ll be cautious for a while regain his confidence and will play as hard as ever. It’s just in him

He's struggling and the bar has been set high by him over 7 years. He's missed a pre season and it shows, he's not fat but he's not in ripping shape as he has been over previous seasons and that is understandable after what he's gone through. He has credits in the bank, but the honest conversation will be had between him and the FD regarding next season and lets hope he just needs to take a break to freshen up in the off season and hit the ground running for a solid pre season. That will make a huge difference in getting him back to his standards. I wouldn't mind him going to Neale on Friday night, he will take Oliver to the footy and it will mean Berry has to run with someone else likely Viney, but that will still throw a spanner into the Lions game plan

Wonderful and sobering post and I hope Toni found joy in the win and shared it with her family. If nothing else last night provided no doubt a treasured memory for her and her loved one’s they will hold forever. It puts into perspective the important things somewhat
