Nick Daicos and Scott Pendlebury are expected to return, but Columbia instructor Craig McRae says there are bigger problems that will star them in the face after a 54-point heartbreaking in Brisbane.
The Magpies received a soon blow before the Easter Thursday Gabba game when Daicos, who had been struggling all year with a dented leg, was unable to complete the warm-up and scratched.
The Lions battled a raft of their own major injuries before running riot in a 17.17 ( 119 ) to 10.5 ( 105 ) win that, despite some missed opportunities, could have been bigger.
The Lions scored 20 in 50 in comparison to the customers ‘ five and collected 131 contest possessions in 1993.
Logan Morris, the youngest Lions forth, scored three goals on his own, while Oscar Allen and Kai Lohmann made money from their efforts.
I actually thought that we were outplayed the majority of the time, McRae said.
There is a lot of things in front of us that can be fixed immediately, and we need to get to work on that.
The aerials, which is typically one of our greatest abilities, made us exposed.
” And they just swarm to the following challenge. You lose, you are expelled, and you are gone. You don’t, do you? Great luck.
Daicos will likely recover from a three-day tear, according to McRae, while his most recent meetings with Pendlebury indicated that he would be fit to confront Melbourne on Friday at Adelaide Oval during Gather Round.
You’d think it starts moving because it’s a woody, McRae said of Daicos.
” And Pendlebury said,” I feel excellent,””… If his word counts, he’d been difficult to leave out.
