3KZ Junior asked me this morning, who was the better player, Simon Black or Lachie Neale. When he sensed that I was completely stumped, he tried to qualify the question by asking who was most impactful. That didn’t help.
Having spent the best part of sixty years watching AFL / VFL football, I...
A non hierarchical school based on the 'Preshil' model. A 'Collective' focused on the cultural anthropology of the 1980’s Australian and International ‘Indie Scene’. Generalist classes in music, visual and performing arts, fashion, gigs and happenings will run. Discussion of the 1990’s will be...
I have been watching a lot of old games, while I have been recuperating, with a focus on our 2001, 2002 and 2003 premiership campaigns. Which got me thinking.
Rotations, rules and use of interchange to one side, which of these two sides would win if we could go back in time?
There certainly...

To say this is a danger game for us is an understatement. The way things have been going for Lions supporters, it is hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Since our Round 9 win over Adelaide...
This is a hard thing to admit, but I like Collingwood this year. They are playing an exciting brand of football, hard at it, quick and resilient. Watching them reminds me how impressive it is to see a team where players play for each other and genuinely enjoy their football. Ok, I admit that...

This is a massive danger game if ever there was one. Despite sitting second on the ladder on a 9-3 win / loss ratio, there are no shortage of Lions supporters who are coming at this one with a ‘Glass Third Empty’ view. Before we turn to our opponents, let’s see why.
Of our wins...

Since our 2019 finals campaign, Chris Fagan has been fantastic in the way he has stood up for our players and stressed the...
What a tremendous season! Some of the “pundits” had us dropping off this season, but we have clearly improved. Our defence is rock solid, our midfield elite and our forward line, despite some wayward kicking, have got the job done on all but three occasions. We can have passionate debates about...
THIS IS A GRUDGE MATCH!
Richmond still carries deep mental scars from the 1944 Grand Final. That loss to Fitzroy by 15 points has haunted the club for 76 years and thrown a pall over every one of their subsequent achievements. These scars were made fresh in 1970 when Fitzroy humbled Richmond at...

IS THE LID OFF?
Many of us have taken the lid off after our 44 point drubbing of the reigning Premier on Saturday night, but there are still plenty of supporters who have been scarred by false dawns and our erratic form, particularly in Melbourne. People should remember that there is a...
Obviously we are all pretty pumped about the start of the 2019 Season, especially given the clear improvements to our playing list. The question I have is will the “LID” come off this year? Will we have a year when the LID comes off, only to go back on again? More importantly will THE LID BE...

Welcome Lincoln McCarthy! I hope the club has plenty of cotton wool.
Great to see a thread on our board devoted to Fitzroy Football Club. We are currently sitting undefeated on top of the Ladder in VAFA Premier C Grade, having won our seventh straight game. If you are interested in Fitzroy, you should also check out The Over 50’s Clique Thread in the Den.

Well there you go. Looks like our number two draft pick is out the door.

Time for a fair dinkum post mortem on a very disappointing season. Where did we go wrong this year and what do we need to do next year in order to get back into B Grade in 2019?
Watching from the boundary, team selection seems to have been an issue and there were problems with our game plan /...
This thread provides a space for nostalgia, reflections on the changing nature of the game, images of memorabilia, video footage and a discussion of current topics from a mature perspective. It is a space for all, whether they be Fitzroy supporters, former Bears or Brisbane Lions fans.
Five games in and we are sitting at 1-4, with a winnable game next week. Based on our first half against the reigning Premiers, where we comprehensively outclassed them on the scoreboard, we could really trouble some quality sides this year. If we 'click' we might even string a number of wins...
Clearly making the finals has to be our primary goal next season, but a few things need to go our way. I'm expecting Rich, Beams, Robinson, Zorko, Martin, Mayes (tipping breakout year) Walker, Sache, Mathieson, Paparone (tipping breakout year) Close, Gardiner and Andrews to have big years under...
Great work from our Captain.
