You may have heard of No.1 draft pick Harley Reid. On Sunday, he showed he’s both a monster and a surgeon on the field. Plus, the Lion who had a breakout game against Melbourne and the fixture demands on Collingwood and Melbourne.

Cam Rayner arrived at the Brisbane Lions in 2018, the No.1 pick in the 2017 draft. Dustin Martin had just come off one of the most dominant seasons anyone had ever seen. Every club was looking for the next explosive midfielder who could also tear a game apart up forward, and Rayner was the most likely young prospect. It was a heavy burden to carry.

The Lions midfield is led by Lachie Neale’s brilliant roving, with Josh Dunkley giving them a better defensive balance. Losing Will Ashcroft to a long-term knee injury has hurt them creatively. But for years, the Lions have longed for a big-bodied burst player to compete with the likes of Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver. Rayner destroyed both on Thursday night.Spare a thought for Petracca and Oliver.

Liberatore has entered concussion protocols and miss this week’s game against St Kilda. That’s despite him quickly regaining his feet, passing a head injury assessment immediately after the event, and presenting free of symptoms the following day. Liberatore later told ABC radio he had hurt his ankle and momentarily lost balance.Channel Seven
