    Analysis Season 2025 - Statistics and Analytics Thread

    Squiggle is good for this - https://live.squiggle.com.au/. Shows all the premiership clusters that could conceivably be considered a window before game/strategy changes dictate a new window. Pies 2023 sill an outlier though :'(

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    Puzzles me that anyone would watch arguably our greatest H&A win in recent times and loudly proclaim who should be dropped - however those questioning Hipwood's role should take a look at his heatmap vs Smiths and Morris. They didnt leave the F50 and he ran up and down the wings and into the...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    You have to grade rucks on a curve due to scarcity in the position. We are looking for a ruckman whose age profile fits our mids, has forward nous and can play as sole/primary ruck. That aint cheap.

    Frustrating player, but I think has more to give than Sam Day. Lighter build though, so doesnt necessarily solve the ruck problem like Day would.

    Review Grand Final, 2024 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

    This has become the new "if i see it shared, I have to watch it in full immediately" video. The roar on the siren, spine tingling stuff.

    Review Grand Final, 2024 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

    Spotted Mal Michael at the game and obviously Lynchy was there too.

    Review Round 18, 2024 - West Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    In fairness, Rayner did the same thing to the Collingwood rookie in Round 3/4 (stupid fixtures). However this has got me thinking about the concussion = automatic suspension rule they seem to be moving towards and if marking attempts like these will be the next to go.

    Preview Rd.18 West Coast Eagles vs Brisbane Lions

    Yeah none of our forwards are natural swingmen like McStay was. I dont think its panic stations quite yet, modern footy is much more focused on team defence and defending as a back unit, rather than 1-1 battles. So if we can defend better in the midfield and transitions, we will do our best to...

    Round 13 changes

    Vitriol for Rayner started a little over the top, is now bordering on absurd. He had a bad game - a month ago was BOG in our best win of the season. Is currently patching holes as we reshuffle the squad, and that Hawks game was a terrible time to be a forward with how we were setting up and...

    Preview Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants Round 7 (Thursday 25 April ANZAC DAY 7:35PM @ Manuka Oval)

    Well, here we are! Given this is a game between two expansion clubs without a tonne of history (noting the Jeremy Cameron hit and Alex Witherden's heat death) I was going to use this opportunity to muse on GWS's standing in the game as this new, post-expansion, self-aware ironic club. However...

    Absolutely. One of my great memories of GF day was walking into the G from Fitzroy and the last km or so through parkland as more and more joined and the excitement built and built.

    News Gabba Upgrade & Olympics News

    Perhaps I'm giving them too much credit, but if the recommendation is to stick with the rebuild, surely that also comes with a secondary recommendation for AFL/cricket alternatives during the demolition. Also for people wondering about the details of a refurb, you can find the refurb options...

    News Gabba Upgrade & Olympics News

    I think thats purely just observing and exploiting the negative public sentiment towards the Gabba rebuild. I assume the Miles playbook is to commission another review/position to distance himself from the tarnished first plan, and largely have the same plan but newly communicated. I would be...

    How did you start supporting the Brisbane Lions?

    Dad was a South Melbourne fan who never really emotionally went with them to Sydney and moved to Brisbane for work in 86 and adopted the Bears, who were born at the same time as me. I grew up a Bears fan going to odd games here and there, until 95 when we got season tickets and then it became my...
