The players were informed of the club’s decision via a message from football boss Matthew Francis at 12.40pm on Monday.

“The club’s board came to the decision today after a thorough review of the team’s performance and the factors influencing continued poor results,” the text message said.

”He gave a number of reasons why the team’s results have not reached the levels that we all expect, as well as outlining where he saw the team going in coming years.”

... in a move that surprises nobody.

Lions are in deep deep trouble.

 

[hawkman]

Didn't see that coming

 

[Snoochems]

About time. Enough with the favourites too.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Hope brissy have learnt their lesson and get a non favourite son as their new coach.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Who's going to coach them next?

Simon Black or Luke Power?

 

[JayJ20]

Surely not for Mick Malthouse...

 

[ABitWoofy]

And more surprising news just in, scientists have discovered that water is wet.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Whatever happens can we ******* get a coach who never played nor stepped foot in Brisbane before please

 

[quotemokc]

Jonathan Brown come on down

 

[Slats]

I thought they were announcing a five year extension.

I'm shocked.

Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Not surprising. Take your time and get the next appointment right. The AFL will have a say.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Who's going to coach them next?

Simon Black or Luke Power?

How about Brett Ratten?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Leigh Tudor or Stewart Dew would be an ideal appointment as senior coach.

I imagine you get a lot of ladies wet with this level of pedantry.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

How about Brett Ratten?

Did really well considering Carltons list.

 

[Slats]

Who's going to coach them next?

Simon Black or Luke Power?

Gary Ayres: you've got your Rockliffs, your Zorkos, your Schaches, your Hanleys, your Hipwoods..

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Brisbane can you please accept Dimma? Richmond could even pay his contract for you since they've locked him in anyway.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Hardly the most suprising news. He looked like he knew he was cooked yesterday

 

[underthestars]

giving themselves another crack at Roos.
will settle for Brad Scott.

 

[Quivorir]

Whatever happens can we ******* get a coach who never played nor stepped foot in Brisbane before please

Sure you don't want Brad?

 

[0JNFG]

How many other coaches do you think will get sacked? Lions could have their pick of any of the top assistants.

 

[hawkman]

How much will the AFL give them so they can get Roos?

 

[ajdude]

it won't happen today but I really want to see the 'early mail' be incorrect just once. it'd be hilarious
