    There's no point bitching about Tadgh's absence now it's confirmed. We just gotta get on with things. If we are gonna push for a flag we need to be able to cover our losses. Yes he's a key player, yes he provides critical drive outta defense. But we need the other guys to step up. I doubt the players are going to let it get to them the way the people on these boards do. I hope LRT comes in. He may provide the X-Factor and throw the Lions plans into disarray.
    Damn that Sorcerer! Twenty gold pieces and I'm wankered on rohypnol!

      And who do you want LRT to come in for as Barlow's parents are being flown to Brisbane for his debut. I don't want LRT to replace any of the others.

        However, it is great to see another youngster get a run.
        This year we have given game time to:
        Jack
        Philips
        Schmidt
        Moore
        Vogels
        Grundy
        Laidlaw
        Barlow
        Brennan

        Barlow makes up our 3rd debut for 2007.
        I like your positive thinking, trouble is that with the exception of Schmidt, the rest are duds.

          You think that's bitching????
          Mate, you gotta hang around these pages a bit more!!
          The natives are being quite tame today - we're just a tad disappointed.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

            Vogels=jury still out
            Grundy=jury still out

            Brennan=jury still out
            Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

                I think its very unfair to call young Keiran Jack a dud.

                      That is exactly what I was wondering. I would have thought that a relatively experienced youngster like Dempster would have been the obvious choice at this point in the season.
                      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        Anyone have the stats on how many games we've won without Tadhg this year?

                        Good luck to Barlow!

                          The fact that they have gone Barlow and not Dempster makes me think Tadhg will be back for the finals at the very latest.

                          If Tadhg was going to be out for the year, I'd reckon they would have went with Dempster knowing they need to get him back in and up and running to cover Tadhg's loss.

                          As a stopgap 1 or 2 weeks, give the young fellow a taste.

                            Harsh......

                            Laidlaw was not a dud. He did a good job in wet conditions that got as close as anyone to a winning team at their homeground. Was not dropped due to poor play but returning players.

                            Brennan is holding his own nicely I reckon.

                            Schmidt looks as though he will take off next year.

                            Jack and Phillips are tiny but at least they don't run like that little fella for Richmond. He cracks me up....talk about tiny steps.

                              Looks like Tadhg's season is over...another dislocated kneecap.



                              Also, nice to see Leigh Matthews happy at our misfortune...
                              "Kennelly and Barry have been very key parts of their whole defensive structure and obviously Kennelly gives them the run so it's good news for us.
                              They have lost Joel Selwood and McDonald too.

                                I reckon Moore and Brabazon will be delisted at year's end.
