He was in the zone that day. Kicked them from the boundry, off the ground and maybe even in mid air. The chances of him doing that to us again are low.

I reckon you'll get the money tg, but if you don't, a couple of slices of bread with some tomato sauce fills the gap ;D

His confidence was up thats for sure. However both McGuane and Thursfield were unable to match his strength.
IIRC at one stage he was able to hold off Thursfield with one arm, balance the ball with his other hand and kick an easy goal. It showed how far off Thursfield was physically.
We will need to restrict his supply.

Take it back. I back our defenders to be mopping up errant kicks forward all night.
Anyone know when the team is travelling up? Normally they do a training session at the Gabba on the night before a Saturday night game. Just seen that a training session is scheduled for today at Cragieburn....long way from the Gabba. Hope they know where the game is tomorrow.

Yeah it's turning into one of the unexpected side benefits of the rare wins this year.
The media have been so rabid on our poor prospects of winning any games that it's bled over into club member and board expectations.
We beat Port and the knives are out again slicing and dicing their coaching set-up (Laidley/Williams) and senior players (Cornes brothers). ;D
We beat WC and the knives are into Worsfold so much that their most senior player (Cox) has to criticise and threaten his junior teammates. ;D
If we beat Brisbane and Fev doesn't perform you can bet Vossy will cop a few knives and the player list of the Lions in future compromised drafts will arise.
Nice to think we can create such an effect from two wins. Might become interesting in the last few rounds if we can spoil some of our traditional rivals in their run to the finals. >

One thing I find most interesting is that before the '09 draft, many were saying what a poor depth draft it was and they were using that as a reason for the Lions topping up with recycles. Now, the whole thing has turned around and the '09 draft is now being touted as one of the best!!!! We were chastised by many on here for getting more picks in a poor draft year and yet, now we are being lauded as being so wise to rebuild in what turned our to be an excellent draft.
Amazing how it has all turned around. For mine, the Lions have been really unlucky with injuries but having said that, and after seeing what we have done over the years, they were very short sighted to top up. They WILL pay the price in years to come, just as we have done in yesteryear. I just hope we do not fall for the same old mistakes again, as all this talk of Hartley analyzing other teams lists, and us being very active during trade time, has me very worried. Draft more kids I say, look what we have already achieved this year from a development point of view.
In my opinion, last years draft is as good as any we have participated in, and we MUST follow the model even though Gold Poach and GWS will compromise the next two drafts.
In many ways it is better than being 'ninthmond', isn't it. We are genuinely developing kids, and at the same time exposing a few of the other pretenders in the league. The pretenders that we used to be.RedanTiger said:Yeah it's turning into one of the unexpected side benefits of the rare wins this year.

Strangely, for once we are getting a genuine feeling of making progress yet mostly losing. There is quite a lot to be said for it.
