3 Qtr Time:Swans 15.11.101 v Lions 3.6.24 Goals Rose 3 Towers 3 Rohan 1

Pretty handy lead for a side playing with only 21, and possibly only 20 if Veale's one tackle and no disposal is an indication of an injury

[rb4x]

Brisbane no score in the second quarter and 4 points only in the third.

Two goalless quarters (and one of those scoreless) for the Lions is a bit of a worry for them (encouraging for us).

They seem to get flogged every week.

Hiscox and Nakervis both played and with Zak replacing Smooch it looks like we have no emergencies fresh for the main game.

Brisbane 1 behind in the 4th quarter and only 5 behinds for the last 3 quarters. Very one sided after quarter time.

How did Rohan look? Which position did he play?

[707]

I arrived halfway through the first quarter in time to see Brisbane kick three consecutive goals - their only majors for the game! Light rain without let up throughout made it very difficult with the ball being very slippery and lots of scrimmages.

BJ got a lot of the ball but wasted it a lot. Towers did some nice things. Rohan looked to be playing half back and went nicely for a first hit out. Naismith for a very big man in wet conditions showed some good skills and good pace, be interested to hear from regular ressie watchers if he shows those in other games. O'Riordan looked right at home in the conditions, much like an Irish summer's day, and looks an impressive unit with neat foot disposal, we look to have a player there.

Then to the Gabba for the heartstopper, we have work to do after that display.

Naismith is remarkably quick for his size and has good skills. Injuries are what has held him back.

Interesting, two KPDS with very low stats in the best according to the NEAFL website.

I don't understand why the Lions Reserves team is so poor. Like us, they can fill that side with senior listed players, rookie listed players and academy players. We have sub standard AFL players and younger players who fill the reserves side, but why are we 100 points better than Brisbane. Are our acedemy top ups so superior when compared to Brisbane's.

It's bewildering!

I've got serious doubts about Sam ever making it. He pranced around Drummoyne Oval like a ballerina last weekend and for mine he is just too slight in build to be a ruckman. He seriously needs to stack on at least 15kgs to that frame of his.

Couldn't agree more about O'Riordan, he looks to have all the tools to be an AFL player.

Towers is an interesting one as to his future. He's a quality bloke from what I can gather I reckon he'd be a good professional around the club. And if he's not too excessive with his salary demands then I could see us locking him in for at least a couple of years as a good squad player.

But would that suit Dean? I wouldn't think there'd be a huge line of suitors but I do think he'd be able to get more regular senior footy at a bottom six club like a Carlton or Brisbane and he wouldn't cost them much in terms of what they give up.
