16 point lead at half time

O'Keefe has 3
Lucas C leads the possession with 19
We lost a bit of momentum during that quarter and let them back into a game where we had good control.
We need to get back to work next quarter.

Saad isn't having a bad game.
He's been a bit off the boil in recent times but is much more involved today.

No mention of The Hyphen here, and yet over my life supporting Carlton The Hyphen was as good of a performer in clutch games as any, and had many great momentum turning games. But he wasn't with us that long and arrived "a foreigner".

Many fans show a bit of team colour history bigotry, but Judd, Diesel and The Hyphen deserve to be part of the discussions even if their blood isn't pure! ;)

I've never understood why Ratts isn't in more of these discussions, career consistency, a 24x7 performer, he'd be up near the pinnacle in just about any other club's history.

But having said that, can you imagine the impact Cripps would have had if he was in a team surrounded by the likes of Diesel, Ratts, The Hyphen, Kouta, etc., etc., I doubt he would have faded into the background?

Whoops... corrected. Terrible exclusion on my part, especially seeing how Rhys is one of my personal all time faves ...along with Dommy, Tiger and Jezza!

Our line-up:

B:   4 Oliver Hollands   6 Zac Williams   16 Ben Camporeale
HB:   45 Flynn Young   28 Harry Charleson   30 Jack Ison
C:   37 Jordan Boyd   56 Flynn Riley   40 Hudson O'Keeffe
HF:   41 Matt Duffy   42 Adam Saad   57 Alwyn Davey
F:   58 Jack Sammartino   61 Dane Harvey   62 Oliver Warburton
R:   66 Sam Paea   68 Taj Logan
Int:   74 Logan Prout   75 Liam Farrar  8 Lachie Fogarty   21 Lucas Camporeale   50 Darcy Tucker   63 Ryder Corrigan

[1] I know that afl.com.au is often pretty slow when it comes to publishing team lists, but putting them like this? Get real!
Big Footy have a slightly more up to date version, complete with Emergencies, which this version doesn't have, but it is still pretty dubious as to how we'll actually line up.

[2] Does this mean that Lucas C and Fogarty will play? They will improve our run. Fogarty has been in excellent form. Tucker is also an important inclusion.

[3] Alwyn Davey wasn't bad last week. Hopefully, he can continue to show something.

[4] Like last week, I look at the Lion's team sheet and I wonder how they could have been so poor across the season. There is real talent out there. They have 15 listed players named, guys who have played more senior footy than our guys, with the exception of Saad and Williams.

[5] Not all of our senior Emergencies will play, not with the game tonight. At least one will miss. Not sure which, to be honest.

[6] Our team is still so lacking in key position players that I can barely accept it. Still no Moir, and he isn't a key position player. We do have some work to do in this year's recruiting period!
