Petracca 35 metrs out to goal running in and he handballs to a player slower than him and it’s a turnover. What the ? Go for goal. Overhandballing!!! Stop it now.

Is this a joke ? Seems like click bait in my view

Learnings Still working on Forward connection Skills need improvement guess what ? it’s the same lyrics to the same song as last years

Casey was trialling some of the underage NAB league players from 2024. Not sure if any will be added or if they go back to suburban clubs or to the Stingrays as overage players.

any news ?

Best: Team effort

Not for Mcvee. No way! He’s staying in the red and blue !!!

Expect the debut jumper presentation by Dean Terlich?

Seriously… Oliver shunted!! Sam Walsh had an average 2024 and still makes the list. Ffs. Media loves the “big” clubs !! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Still too early … wait to see who’s available and the form in the next pre season game.

Ditto. Was the overhandballing still sometimes our downfall? Yes but looked less often. I thought we moved the ball much better. Kozzzy especially was very good. His run and overlap and delivery was a highlight. Please discuss.

He’s an inside mid with great IQ, excellent kick and quick hands. Strong at the contest and tackles. Sure he’s not got that Judd like burst but his acceleration will get worked on with the athletic development. He’s a ripper kid and I’m glad he’s in red & blue.

AMW ???? Hopefully not the knee. He was in ripping form. Set for round 1 in my view

Andy Moniz Wakefield AMW- great stuff to JVR. Goal. AMW 👏👏👏

👏👏👏Oliver. Kozzzy. Riv. Kozzzy is starring Campbell looks very capable for a veteran Jeffo. Looks good but beaten in the contest on a few 1-1s - more gym needed Still have question marks ?? overhandballing!! Laurie Billings - delivery shaky

Kozzzy !!! Delivery to JVR … goal on the lead

Sharp. Looking sharp !!! Love it

Ben Brown as a commentator. Early days and learning his craft. Perhaps the new Kelli Underwood. !!!

Judd McVee (hamstring), Jack Viney (ribs), Christian Petracca (ribs), Caleb Windsor (skin infection), Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress), Luker Kentfield (illness), Jake Melksham (hamstring) and Charlie Spargo (Achilles) 
 Ouch, already a worry !!!

The Lions academy !!! Gallop showed plenty in the intraclub yesterday v Pies v Suns. Big. Strong. Future key forward. This academy rort is proving to be a huge advantage for the developing states … just happened they were premiers last year. 😡

I like it. Welcome aboard Jack. 👏👏 Another “Jack” is always welcome.

Sorry DS. I am still keeping Langdon on the wing. Billings starts at Casey imv. I am ok with adding Culley as SSP list addition, with McAdam unfortunately likely to be ruled out for 2025 as LTI. Apparently Cullet was considered unlucky to get the axe by the Eagles. Track watchers reports say he’s been impressive over the summer so far and pushing hard for a second chance.

If there’s any replacement, I’d prefer to see Jai Culley over him. Culley has had a big pre season already and knows what it takes. He has higher desire given his axing from the eagles. Some eagles fans comments suggest he was unlucky to get axed and had a future.

@chelly thanks And it’s February!!! With no games actually played.

AFL HAS ANNOUNCED THEY ARE TAKING SUBMISSIONS ON THE NGA … with changes being considered. Dees admin and footy leaders - wake up !!! Clubs are expected to have a range of views on the next steps for the NGA, with decisions on zone changes and any eligibility process tweaks expected to be announced in coming months. We should try to get changes and include players of Polynesian background. There is no real pathway or role models for such youngsters.
