    Single best finals moment

    How about the feeling at 44 points down. Staring down the barrel of another wasted year, mids getting slaughtered, Hogan unstoppable, Fagan not moving any magnets. Beaten up by a lesser team. And yet... belief was still there. It never felt like we were done for. Not even when they responded...

    Training 2023 Pre-season thread

    In the context of the posts, you make a good point. But McStay's best and worst were poles apart, and unfortunately for us he played many more ineffectual games than the Semi Final game. So whilst the game Daniher didn't play we won and he played well, would he have put in that performance as #2...

    Training 2023 Pre-season thread

    Hard to agree to 'significantly' better. McSpud, sorry McStay, as prone to dropping a sitter as Hipwood. There are far more memorable, and game changing, Hipwood marks than McStay over the recent years. Yes i have faith in Hipwood - he's a gun. He worked into the season nicely after coming off...

    Training 2023 Pre-season thread

    I guess we have different definitions of 'so disrespectful', and 'a very good footballer'. I've never met the man, so i can't speak to his character. But being a good bloke doesn't help us win matches, which is what the comment was referring to (a '22 forwardline without Daniher). I don't...

    Training 2023 Pre-season thread

    Lyons much easier to replace than Daniher - we had inside mids waiting in the wings. Our previous years strategy seemed to focus on the forwards bringing the ball to ground, mainly because McSpud was no good, so even an injured JD playing this role was a better bet to make finals than relying on...

    First 22 in 2023

    Subtle gameplan tweaks will see us go one step further in 23. With Dunkely and Ashcroft we will have the best mid group in the comp; superior inside work and better executional sklls on this year. And we definitely have the cattle to have a top 2 FWD and DEF line; i think we were in the top two...

    Review Round 2, 2022 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    Old mate must be a salty Bombers fan in disguise. I think he was sitting behind me at Marvel, choking on his light beer every time Joey went near it. On performance this year, and last, there isn't a single thing a positive Lions fan could fault him on. He works hard way up the ground, takes a...

    List Mgmt. List changes, contract status and key dates - 2021

    No club in their right mind would've offered injury plagued Daniher 5 years at the time. He got a life line, worked hard to get his body right and repay the faith, and in doing so played some ripping footy. He quite rightly earnt an extension. Damo's desperate for a story that gets Victorian...

    Game Day JLT Round 1 v Port Adelaide

    If McStay was as bad as you and others say then how stupid are Fagan and the coaches for selecting him each week? And how much of a fluke was going from 5 wins to 16 with the worst full forward to ever play the game and the coaching panel who clearly have no idea about footy to continue to...

    Game Day JLT Round 1 v Port Adelaide

    One clear outcome of the match has been the identification of the 2020 whipping boys! Great it's settled then. McStay 4th year of being the 'whipping boy', because apparently conversations about improvement of the team are shamed on the Lions Board in preference for serial sarcasm and blind...

    Game Day JLT Round 1 v Port Adelaide

    Yawn. Why do you think it's a personal vendetta? The day McStay brings that form on a consistent basis is the day everyone on here who has been raising concerns about his offensive acumen for three years will rejoice - it means we got the forward we've hoped for and our team is better for it...

    Game Day JLT Round 1 v Port Adelaide

    That is his role. It's not his only role, but it is his main role. He is key post in the forward line. KPF roles, in order, simplified for you: - Kick Goals - Take Marks - Provide a strong target to kick to, either on the lead or stationary - Don't squander opportunities - If not marked, create...

    Game Day JLT Round 1 v Port Adelaide

    LOLz. I've heard it all now - happy with a key position forward who doesn't kick goals. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a Flag. When can someone call for a change to the line up? It's the pre-season when teams experiment with personnel and positional changes. And after a 1 mark 0 goal...

    Prediction Our side round 1, 2020...?

    Agree on Payne after reading reviews of his Intraclub game, and my mistake on Eagles. A monster at full back would bring back sweet, sweet memories of Mal Michael, and Lynch when he was at the Roys.

    Prediction Our side round 1, 2020...?

    This team will match it across the park with any team in the comp this year! Perfect balance of tall, mobile, quick, strong and smart players. Answerth Adams Gardiner Birchall Andrews Rich Robinson CEY McCluggage Martin Neale Lyons Zorko Hipwood...
