R8 ABL Action
Sorry his cousin the "other Cioffi"


Looks like I was'nt the only one to question the Lions rotations, a well credential'd coach sitting next to me also was critical.
I thought Daniel Cioffi and Dan Wilson had pretty reasonable games(Dan W needs to take more shots), but Jacob Templeton's speed, attack and versatility from last season has been sorely missed.
Lachie Parker is a good honest player, but seems to have spurts of fumbling/slipping at times (and the flattest shot in the ABL, it's called air Lachie).
Young Scott Rose finally got some court time right at the end of the game and finished off some good plays (3 from 3?).

I agree about Ben Todd, top fella, but too slow to keep up with the quicker guards, time to develop the younger players, Lions 1st five this season has stunk, always well behind before 1st subs.
I agree that Pidock does'nt like getting near the offensive boards,Daniel makes a big difference everytime he gets on court in limited minutes.
Matchups were not good on Saturday night,at one stage we had 3 guards matched up on talls, and Jacob was killing us until Zane Reeves finally came on court and matched up well on him,after half time again Zane not on Jacob = almost all Sturts points came from Jacob after half time.
Similar thing happened when we played West and Molitar dominated until Lions were 19 down and Zane then kept him quiet when he was on the court and with Carlin's injection got them back in the game.
I'm a bit dissapointed in the coaching this season.
