    2017 Draft thread

    Noting that Twomey has Ballenden at 18 in his latest phantom draft from his erstwhile opinion as a possible no.1, I would have to say that the chances of a rival club bidding at 1 to 3 is highly unlikely. It will be of interest to me to see which club bids on Ballenden and at which pick and if...

    Delisted Nicholas Robertson (2013-2019)

    First line above...agree. Second line...not to worry,only one more than in 2018 (15/14) with an extra year to sort it out.

    2017 Lions Reserves and NEAFL thread

    It is an out of contract squeeze though if Rockliff and Robertson re-sign - comes down to how many picks we want to take to/in the draft and if we want a rookie elevation or two and what transpires in the trade period. I am not a fan of delisting players and subsequently popping them on to the...

    Unofficial Preview Changes - Round 20 Lions v Western Bulldogs

    Agree...I like to think about Darcy when he is a 24 year old with 120 games under his belt and 3 more years under Fages and his assistants.

    Analysis The rebuild of Carlton and Brisbane and their future prospects

    Darcy Gardiner via an improved second round pick - high twenties to low twenties - can't be bothered chasing up the details.

    The proposed new underground station is designed to connect to the Gold Coast line near Dutton Park station but there is a connection between Yeerongpilly and Corinda a bit further on - I don't know if passenger services are run on it - if not,it would be Gabba to Roma Street station and change...

    Prediction Future of Josh has gone to the Dogs.

    It seems that way so far. Somehow we need to get better at sussing out early draft picks that will stay...not an easy task.

    Latest tally is 20513 that I have logged as at 3 April.This in rough figures is 2000 less at that date than for both 2014 and 2016. This is undeniably disappointing but with the team playing better,more determined and entertaining football maybe this gap will disappear before final figures for...

    Archerfield Airport right next door to Granard Rd. recorded near as dammit to 8 inches (197 mm) of rain in the last 2 days. I was watching a guy in a boat rescuing fridges from a store in Beaudesert Rd. just around the corner during the 1974 flood.

    Prediction Future of Josh has gone to the Dogs.

    Yep - no idea mostly.The kids that show ability ARE lining up to get into the Academies but numbers have been limited and still will be even though (UIGM )the Lions are to double the numbers this year. Still,the talent has to be there and so do the sheer numbers playing the game and the...

    Prediction 2017 Round 1 Starting 22

    Looking forward to the hue and cry plus the howls of anguish after the team for round 1 is selected tomorrow. I suppose it is too much to hope that C.Beams and Bastinac will be in and Harwood will will be out.

    As long as there will be a good pie cart with semi-respectable chips nearby it should work out OK.

    Yes...moving along pretty much as expected - 640 behind the figure for 11 March last year but as the total has jumped 2,747 since 7 March (3 days ago as I type),that is neither here nor there.

    JLT Round 2 vs Western Bulldogs

    Yep - a player who has averaged 20 games a season and 20 disposals a game for 7 years is unlikely to be sliding too much,if at all,at age 25. If he can't make the team this year we'll be travelling real good depending on injuries as always. I gave up reading too much into pre- season form...

    Prediction Future of Josh has gone to the Dogs.

    The vulnerability of the club's position to retain Josh is cause for concern - we can only hope for the best. By comparison,last year Jacob Weitering renewed his contract with Carlton until the end of 2021 - all done and dusted.

    Good idea - we know what Walker can do and it's not as if he is our big hope as a tall forward - as they say in racing..best to forget he went around.
