Ok from an ACL perspective but it could be some time out with a medial. They are usually a 4-6 week injury if it is a decent strain, or no time out if it is minor. Hope it is the latter - he'll be sore tomorrow either way.

What do you know? :-)

There's no way the pace of this game can be maintained. Both sides look like they're running in fast forward.

How did the ball just do that Jong?

Now that is stringer!

Bont has inspired him.

Jake Stringer you cannot be serious!

Good lord. Stringer comes alive...And Bont and Dahl.

That's the sort of surge we've been lacking for a few weeks.

Really want to crack 120 and keep them down to under 60.

Huge half from Stevens and Wallis. Contested beasts. Roughy jumping all over Martin.....very encouraging. Have also loved Morris' game.

Unsure if it's the opposition but the Roughead / Campbell combo looks better than the Roughead / Boyd combo.

Such a frustrating game. First quarter was a story of missed opportunity. The second had moments of sheer brilliance -Stringer, and instances of incomprehensible crap luck -Jong's non goal.
We should be 10 or 12 goals up but for inaccuracy in the first quarter. I hope we put our foot down in the 3rd.
Dahlhaus has been massive again tonight.

Good points. I'd add that McLean has done some decisive plays as well.

Libba and Hunter were good when we were struggling

Martin has been far from his best for the Lions, you'd have to ask how much the concussion from last week is actually affecting him.

For us, I think Hunter, Stevens and Wallis have been our best. Hunter's composure in finding the right pass at times was crucial, as everyone around him flicked the ball around without much thought.

Stringer worked his way into it, just needs to get his confidence up and stop playing from behind. I do wonder if it is something that Gia is coaching him to do, as it was Gia's go to strategy (and Dickson also plays from behind quite often).

Glad that Suckling is likely only a medial strain. Surprised that he came back on, but won't be surprised if he misses a few games after this once it starts to swell and most likely become more painful.

Koby Stevens is so tough.

Suckling not back to the bench after the break.
