Thanks for the links. I was keen to go but travel wise it's a 2.5 hour round trip from BNE to Ipswich. _________________ "The Club's not Jock, Ted and Gerry" (& Eddie)

Hot and muggy out this way. Will be very challenging in this heat.

Just watched the 2nd quarter before I walk down and watch local footy. Some good play, back to within 6 points. I'd love to see Begg get a shot in the Snr's as a tall forward/2nd ruck, his second and third efforts are great. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Only been able to watch bits of the game.
Begg definatley not a 1st ruck but his follow up work has been great so far. Showed glimpes of that last season.
Same as last week - got hammered in the 1st quarter but Pies fought back in the 2nd quarter.
Just slow starters or a breeze to left of screen?
And it must be hot as Sof in in the short sleeves today. _________________ If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but just grumble with the rest. - Jerome K Jerome |

HALF TIME Lions by 6
Lions 8.4 - 52 to Magpies 7.4 - 46
Great 7 goal fightback that quarter. Some really nice running play to get us back into the match.
https://www.afl.com.au/vfl/matches/6310#player-stats
Senior listed players :
Lachlan Sullivan : everywhere 17 disposals / 5 clearances. Just keeps running. Positions his body well in contests, keeps his shoulders in front of his opponent. Uses his hands well to provide link up opportunities. Too good for VFL, but good enough to force someone out in AFL?
Edward Allan : he's almost ready. Wants the ball, links up well, and keeps running. Get him onto a wing in the seniors or as a sub.
Sam Sofronidis : 10 disposals. Will play senior football. Reads the play well, plays as a big man, not afraid to put his body on the line or run off his man. Nice hands marking and sharp on the handball.
Harvey Harrison : 11 disposals, 4 tackles, 1 goal. He'll be banging down the door by mid-season. Looms as the one likely to put pressure on Schultz. Composed runner, reads play well.
Aiden Begg: having a real dip. While I don't expect he'll develop into a Ruckman, there's enough there to suggest we persevere with him.
Joe Richards : electric at ground level. Doesn't get a heap of it but as Julie McCreery emphasises "when in front, make it count!". Richards does tat/
Jack Bytel: 10 disposals. In and out of the contest but when he's had it has used it well.
Jakob Ryan : 8 disposals. A composed player. Another who will be banging down the door after the mid-season break. He'll be too good for VFL next season.
Tew Jiath : raw, but you can see a player there. Will take time to develop, requires coaching. Remains a 2025 prospect.
Charlie Dean : 14 disposals. Solid, but can't help but think there must be better options somewhere in the system.
Josh Carmichael :2 disposals. Well suited to this level but I can't see him making the jump. Just lacks polish and wouldn't possess the ability to influence a game at senior level.
Oleg Markov : 5 disposals. If he wants to play senior footy again, he'll want to pull his finger out. Disappointing commitment.
Ash Johnson : 4 disposals, 3 marks. Generally unsighted. More than just being off his tucker. He's lucky he's contracted until 2025, otherwise this year would have been his last. Maybe Freo or WCE will throw him a lifeline for a 3rd rounder at best. Plays bruise free football. _________________ "The Club's not Jock, Ted and Gerry" (& Eddie)

Richards goal, 6 for the match. Lions win by 2. 105 > 102.
Entertaining match.
Our best : Lachlan Sullivan (BOG), Harvey Harrison, Joe Richards, Sam Sofronidis Jakob Ryan, Edward Allan.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest smears is if someone is accused of playing bruise free football. For the skill Ash Johnson's possesses, his lack of effort cost us that game. Just didn't work hard enough.
8 disposals, 1 behind.

Great from Sullivan. He's firmly in the frame for Gather Round now edging deeper into the 26.
Geez Laurie what do you think about Joe Richards? he's having a great start to the VFL year and miles in front as the leading goal kicker already. Feels like the little big kid has found his groove in that fwd line.
Reckon Ash Johnson might need a spell from the VFL soon as well. His head is not in the game. Finding it all too tough at the moment and letting go far too easy.
What do you reckon about Jack Hutchison's game now the spotlight's been firmly shone on him? _________________ Premiership Pies made it legendary in 2023, don’t let them forget it. #Go PIES 2024…. |

This excites me greatly, if this kid has it, and you never really know until they have a go, well he would be an incredible addition to the team _________________ "You hate a mean man, a grasping man, a man who wants everything and gives nothing. That’s Collingwood. They are a law unto themselves"
