    Non Lions Discussion 2026

    I’ve got a message for the Essendon hierarchy as you search for a senior coach: Just appoint Hird as senior coach, do whatever it takes to make it happen. And while you’re in recruitment mode, bring Adrian Dodoro back as list manager. A Hird/Dodoro combination would be a bold and exciting...

    Feels like Morris is going to be the assassin this week. :(

    Speculation Jordan Ridley [UFA 2029]

    Now watch McKay emerge as the premier CHB once old man Fagan sprinkles a bit of his magic dust.

    Speculation Cooper Hodge - Brisbane or Hawthorn?

    Fine words are great, but let’s cut the BS. From tribal view, what assistance did Brisbane receive under this so‑called “equalisation” model back when Brisbane was basically the feeder club for the entire competition? Because from where I’m standing, this “assistance” only ever seems to appear...

    He alredy does.

    Unofficial Preview v Giants, round 11.

    Not sure it's as definitive as that. However I do believe Gallop is better asset as KPD.

    Not if Gallop takes Curtin's position.

    Unofficial Preview v Giants, round 11.

    If Luke Lloyd is genuinely being earmarked as Lester’s long‑term replacement, then his non‑selection this week is a pretty strong indication that the coaches don’t see it that way, at least not yet. With Lester out, there could hardly be a better opportunity to test whether Lloyd has the...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    The Lions reserves have struggled this year, and it’s made it really hard to identify any player whose form genuinely demands an upgrade to the seniors. Most of the guys coming into the senior side aren’t being promoted on merit, they’re being elevated out of necessity, either as injury...

    Speculation Cooper Hodge - Brisbane or Hawthorn?

    Semantics. Luke Hodge was taken with a priority pick. Yes, I’m aware that the pick originally belonged to Fremantle. But that’s kind of the point. In the same way that some people are quick to label Brisbane’s success as the result of “rorts” while conveniently overlooking the broader context...

    Speculation Cooper Hodge - Brisbane or Hawthorn?

    Nah, not quite as bad as Hawthorn supporters slipping into complete perplexity the moment anyone questions the legitimacy of their premierships, built off AFL-endorsed (rorts) across three separate drafts: 2001 – Luke Hodge (Priority Pick #1) Outcome: Hodge became a Hawthorn legend, Brownlow...

    Speculation Cooper Hodge - Brisbane or Hawthorn?

    No need to get your knickers in a twist. Most Lions supporters would actually prefer Hodge to nominate Hawthorn as his destination. The alternative, having to endure the inevitable chorus of whining and moaning from Hawks supporters would simply be too much.
