    Some interesting decisions coming up

    Headland has also been recently quoted as saying that staying with the Lions offers a better chance of playing in a premiership or at least finals. So who knows what he really thinks? Whatever the case it is worth releasing lesser players to keep him. To aviod a post 2001 decline the...

    Gabba Crowds.......

    Soooooo - thats why I am at the MCG or Colonial the very learned Victorians call out "good call umpire" & "well that was not really a tackle - he didnt have time to release" & "oh dash it all - it was touched 1mm before the goal line" How condescending you are!

    Gabba Crowds.......

    You are kidding??? Have you not been to a game anywhere else? One eyed supporters of all persuasions only see what they want to see.

    Gabba Crowds.......

    Danni, I have sat in all different parts of the Gabba for years & never seen anything other than the usual drunken fighting & occasionaly heated exchange. I suppose the opposition cheersquad are bigger targets than anyone else & thus it's no suprise that there is some potential for...

    Ah well...

    let them believe that we were at our best. suits us to have them preening themselves - getting all mushy dreaming about the premiership. mabye the bleating about the untouchables & how it's sooo unfair that the Lions are that good will stop now.

    One a happier note...

    I have been talking about the game on the weekend & my daughter is convinced she is going to play. Having trouble explaining how you just watch. Perhaps she should try out for the Sainters!

    Would a last gasp win papered over the problems?

    No panic button pushing intended. Yes the Collies played well, however there were several unforced defensive errors that resulted in goals. There is also a fitness/confidence problem with White & Brown 2 of our players that need to be 100% if we are to take it up to the top sides & come...

    Would a last gasp win papered over the problems?

    Perhaps if Craig McRae had taken the time to stand up & kick the ball over the defender & therby winning the game in the dying minutes then all the bad things that happened during that game would have been forgotten. Despite the great efforts by Voss, McRae, Lappin, Power (how was that...

    One a happier note...

    I am taking my 3 year old daughter to her first game vs Freo this Sunday. She knows the Lions song, has a poster of Vossey on her wall & has a good grasp of what constitutes poor umpiring. Dont know how much of the game she or I will actually watch, but thats not the point, as long as she...

    Could the Pie take the Lions?

    Sorry, but 1 good win makes for points & a weeks worth of good press. Nothing more. Yes, it was impressive - but the fact is that you have to do this for the entire season & then throughout each final & the GF. The Lions lost because they didnt play 4 good 1/4's. Woods did. Reproducing...
