Oh yeah, for sure. There is no argument that these last few years could come even close to the joy of winning a flag. But it's also a heck of a lot better than being out of finals (or perennially making and losing finals). Fages may end up an almost coach, which would still probably have him...

If that happens, the vast majority of the credit will (and should) go to Fagan for doing the bulk of the work. I can't see it though. This period of sustained success at the top of the ladder - albeit without a flag - has been genuinely brilliant work by Fages & his group. I think the true...

Surely if you coach a team from the bottom of the ladder to a grand final, there can't be any argument about your coaching credentials. There are always so many genuinely unhinged theories in the footy world. The idea that Fages can't coach might be just about the most unhinged of all though...

Such a weird day of weather. A downpour has been a few minutes away for the last few hours, but keeps fading just before it reaches Brisbane.

The only problem with this rumour is that the Lions players didn’t go to Vegas over the off season. Still, I wouldn’t mind if this were true. Would be nice to be able to blame this start on something relatively small & fixable, rather than a possible beginning of the end of our run.

Early prediction: we’re going to spend the better part of two decades wishing we could have Fagan back after he leaves.

I realise fans notoriously overrate their own players, but I wouldn't trade Starce for anything outside of a top-15 pick (probably even top-10, to be honest). Dev is more of a late-second scenario probably.

Maybe not too bad then. Could be back shortly after our next bye if this is accurate.

Those comments by Schrinner are very hopeful. He would have been in plenty of conversations about this in recent days, so if he think it's still alive, it's still alive.

The CM have decided to hold nothing back now and try their hand at some satire. ‘OK, ignore the review, I know what Qlders want’: How it could have gone down

No sign of letting up in the Courier Mail tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the third day in a row that the Courier Mail is going all-out against the idea as their leading story on numerous fronts.

Don't agree with that - I think the Cats are proof. After their 2011 flag, they made the finals in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 before breaking through again in 2022. I think it's much more about the fact that sides who have had a long run up the top tend to have an...

That’ll be the interesting part in this - how much is locked in contractually by the time the next election rolls around. It may be that it’s all set in stone before Crisafulli even takes office.

Early whispers are that Miles will endorse this & lock it in as the new plan tomorrow. Massive result.

I'd be putting Berry in the midfield.

Going to be very hard for Brisbane City Council to reject it either, considering Quirk's involvement. The most intriguing piece will be how Crisafulli & state LNP react.

It looks like Brisbane Live won't be included in the Victoria Park precinct, so I don't think it is included.

I don't really have any fears about this one at all. Think it'll be a comfortable win for us. But my intuition on how we'll play seems to be staggeringly inaccurate, so you're probably right.

Could be the perfect Zorko replacement.

I think the Gabba redevelopment (at least, in any way that would require us to leave for any period of time) is effectively off the table.

Their last few attendances: 6, 184 4, 992 7, 288 5, 327 5, 278 They might get a crowd over 5000 - but only just.

I think we'll be absolutely fired up and make a big statement. This could be one of our biggest away wins in recent times.

It's already happened to us actually. https://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/308597/pick-63-lachlan-johnson

This will be a tricky one. Payne was awful, but he has well & truly got enough credits in the bank for another go. Think it would be a mistake to drop him. So I'll keep it simple & go... In: McKenna, Dev Out: Kiddy, Lohmann
