Hoping our boys get out of Cancun soon.... Hurricane Maria forming in the Atlantic, expected to hit the islands already hit, and pretty much follow in the path of Irma.

Probably won't affect them, but would rather they're nowhere near it.

Queensland U14 championships on at Maroochydore this week. Quite a bit of talent running around in both girls and boys.

The player reviews on the Lions site are pretty rubbish.

The player reviews on the Lions site are pretty rubbish.

The club this season has been giving us some pretty good material via the website. An occasional drop in standard is forgivable.

What exactly where you hoping for out of curiosity? They were hardly likely to post the full exit interview on the website. I would be livid if my employer made my full annual review available to the wider audience!

The slightest bit of information about their role and not just their stats. Give us something about what Bastinac improved on.

Not just: he is a midfielder, he was dropped, worked hard, came back in, kicked goals.

Ran hard, dun good in parts

Was looking for more swivelhead references personally.

First half of the year he thinked. Second half he do'd.

I'm definitely anti-linkers. Arms should be by your side during the anthem out of respect. Not hugging each other like I recall Collingwood doing in grand finals.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Get a good anthem that isn't just geographical bullet points and I'll show it respect.

Perhaps that'll be the next postal vote "Do you support getting a good anthem?".

 

[SizeMatters]

Bring back God save the Queen

This one will trigger the board conservatives.

 

[briztoon]

This one will trigger the board conservatives.

There are conservatives here?

I know there are some grumpy old men that hang about in one corner, but didn't figure there to be any conservatives around these parts.

 

[MacMum]

I would prefer "We are One" (I think that's what it's called) It covers all that is relevant for today.

In the meantime, Advance Australia Fair will do, not God save the Queen, even though she's a dear old soul.

 

[Elixuh]

Anyone else see this last night? Pretty funny.

I just like that the announcer always introduces it as the Australian National Anthem. What other national anthem would we be having?

 

[FFB1]

The Herald Sun reports that Tom Rockliff, who looks a lot like Stef Martin, is one of five Lions players to be invited the Brownlow.

Dayne Zorko, once named as Ryan Lester in a photo published by the Herald Sun, won't be in attendance due to a suspension in the 2017 season.

Who knows, we could just make it a surprise - ask Barnaby.

It's a great song but you really need to sing every verse to cover all the various dimensions of it, which makes it tricky as an anthem.

Great to see Lewy get an invite, reflection of how well he came on this season.

 

[Milk Steak]

Did Big Footy change their format today? If so I hate it,hard to find s**t.

It is awful. No clue why they made the change.

Makes my eyes hurt. Not sure why sports sites feel the need to constantly change their format just for the sake of it. It's usually for the worse.
