You are paranoid.

This chicken little/flock of sheep attitude round this place about players leaving is doing my head in. Every thread is full of panic attacks - player X was not wearing a I love Brisbane t-shirt, so he must be off.

Paps has run out of steam in the last few weeks, & Leppa wanted a look at Crisp so some-one had to make way. End of story.

edit :RB beat me to it.

I think there is some grounds for concern with his father being sick etc. I also accept he has run out of steam a bit.

I dont think I have ever been accused of a flock of sheep attitude. Flock of seagulls, that's another thing.

Look, I know this, and I am not having a go at anyone personally. It is just every thing is being seen thru a prism of defeatism. He is not playing = he is going. He is not smiling = he is going. He is 6 months into his first 2 year contract & has not re-signed for another 5 = he is homesick & leaving. He hes not got a Lions tattoo this week = he is off. Every thread - so many posters feeding off of each others pessimism.

It is doing my head in.

I agree with all of the above but after last year there is going to be some residual paranoia. Just hope for the best, if you pick apart every post about a player potentially leaving you're going to be pretty busy.

Oh yeah the game. Lions by 600. Merrett and Close to combine for 63 goals and Jpat to make 461 1%'ers, falling just short of his PB.

Call me paranoid, but im drawing a line between talk of Paps back to WA and him not being selected, following Leppas comments of not putting games into guys who are leaving.
I thought that comment was more relevant to Lilse, Raines, Polks and probably Moloney.

I have tipped us to win and with that drink a lot of celebratory beer after the game and be a touch incoherent.

Same here John except for the bit about tipping us. If we win then we'll be imbibing for the same reason! Screw the footy tips (but I am equal top).

We need to do what we did against adelaide a few years ago. Have a goalless quarter and the come out and win.

Purely so we can get the quality posters back.

And this time if the mods would kindly leave all the juicy posts in tact until I've had a chance to read them!

I will be missing the game tomorrow, as I have to go suit shopping for my wedding, then I have a Christmas in July to go to.

I'm expecting a top quality meltdown or 2 to read upon my return.

Do not... disappoint me.

WTF is it with you missing games for weddings this year? Your's, your friends'. Get your s**t together Haso.
Footy season is pretty much the same time each year. Your organisational skills leave a lot to be desired.:rolleyes:

So that means Harbrow and Broughton are the only two 100+ gamers? I'm no scientician but they seem light on for leaders and experienced heads.

If we can jump them early (big IF given this year) they might drop their heads... I hope.

Really comes down to Rocky and Hanley vs O'Meara, Swallow and Prestia. Both teams are pretty short on midfield talent.

I had a wedding of a family friend grand final day in 2003. Going to the wedding was definitely not an option. Still celebrated at the reception afterwards.
