im a lions supporter.
3 premierships straight and then a runners up
you dont lose that quality over night. this is the first time they have struggled at all in 5 seasons. You cant expect a team to keep up that kinda form. Everyone has a rough patch, it will make them want it more they will come back from this.
im sure they will make the top 8 easily and will probably be around come grand final day.
there win against the crows wasnt pretty but i think it was the kind of tough hit out they needed to give them a bitta confidence to get a roll on. not like an easy win over essendon who are badly outa sorts.
the other thing is there form hasnt been that bad, loss to sydney after the siren after leading all match, loss to port adeliade in a very close match, i mean turn those around and people would have said lions are just in 1st gear and will be formidable very soon. As it is i still think we can expect the lions to do well this year.
