Lions not easy beats
Lions are currently leading WCE in 3rd qtr by 28 points. If we've pencilled in our Lions game as a win...

Re: Lions not easy beats
But we beat the Bulldogs in JLT 2 and they beat Sydney tonight so.............

Re: Lions not easy beats
I was annoyed we didn't make a play for Lyons...even moreso now. But hey, who knows, maybe he prefers it up there? Would certainly have slotted into our team nicely, but we were looking for a big fish. The Bears practically got him for free too!

Re: Lions not easy beats
As much as I really want us to beat the Lions when we play them I'm ecstatic that they beat the Eagles convincingly . Go LionsWellardSaint wrote: ↑Sat 23 Mar 2019 10:19pm Lions are currently leading WCE in 3rd qtr by 28 points. If we've pencilled in our Lions game as a win...

Re: Lions not easy beats
The Lions have recruited brilliantly the last few years.
They have a raft of young players with a number who will become real guns and getting players in like Neale as well.
While some clubs talk rebuilds, the Lions have rebuilt. After looking a basket case only a few seasons back they have recently made all the right calls.

Re: Lions not easy beats
Big improvers because they have recruited well.
Got top line kids in and have played them, now getting some rewards.
Raynor, Hipwood, Berry , McCluggage, Andrews,
good ruck in Stefan Martin,
Went and got Neale, Lyons and kept Rich, Zorko
Add to it Rankine and Lukkusias
nice mix

Re: Lions not easy beats
They just won the GF at the MCG a few months ago. So lets not get carried away just yet.
I think they started slow last year too. They actually lost to Sydney in Perth by 5 goals in Rd 1 2018.
BUT
Gee whizz the Lions have some youngsters that look v promising and (unlike us) they have been able to land 2 big fish in Lachie Neale and Charlie Cameron in 2 years.

Re: Lions not easy beats
It all starts at the top, and they have good experienced people and a shrewd coach. I’m still of the opinion recruiting Hodge was one of the smartest decisions in recent years.

Harris Andrews also an absolute star.
