    Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

    To be fair I think he was asked about it. Which is unsurprising too. Personally I like him. He was a smart player and (I think I am correct in saying) that like fages he comes from a teaching background.

    Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

    I've been watching footy for a little while now, and I find I can't help but compare these young guys to players I've seen along the way. I've said for a while that Logan Morris gives me Jack Riewoldt vibes, but Ty Gallup now has me thinking of Stewart Loewe, once he is a fully mature body he...

    Review Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    The bombers fans near us were all great. Happy for them to have seen some spark from their boys, so long as we got the chocolates.

    Review Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    Not even the lowest point of the last 7 weeks. Granted the third quarter was as poor as we have played in a long time,

    Review Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    Gardiner is not a forward but he did shifts rucking and was no worse than Hipwood. Cal started brightly and even as he drifted out of the game tried to add some forward 50 pressure. Hugh easily BOG, but I also found votes for Jaspa, and Dunkley topped the tackle count which I think always...

    Review Round 8, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    In a dour greasy defensive game where the suns has only scored 4 at the twenty minutes mark of the fourth quarter and their big name forward had one mark all game, and their strongest midfield creator was kept pretty quiet I would have hoped the Ashcroft medal.might have gone to recognise one of...

    Review Round 8, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    I am annoyed at another three goal win when we were easily six goals better but the 4 points are good and The umpires officiated the last five like they had an 18 point spread to get under. There were calls for the GC that would never have been made if it was ever going to impact the result.

    Review Round 7, 2025 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    There are kids who started following the club when we wore that jumper. There are fans whose earliest experience of the club was in that jumper. It wasn't a good jumper, we should never have changed from the premiership lion, but remember, all of our history is somebody's history.

    Review Round 7, 2025 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    11 tackles from Hugh. His sharing the load with Dunks this year has taken his game to another level and turned him into full mid contributor.

    Review Round 5, 2025 - Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Lions

    Fair enough, to half time that's a fair call.

    Review Round 5, 2025 - Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Lions

    I appreciate they were consistent all day and they were calling it early, but he umpires calling not 15 when the ball had gone 20-25 got a bit annoying. Great day for Eric but Hugh and Jaspa have been my picks over the first four games and were great again today.

    Review Round 4, 2025 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

    Agreed, he is also one of our most reliable set shots and has a good footy brain.. He reminds me very much of Craig McRae

    Review Round 4, 2025 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

    Though i thought Bailey was lucky to get paid a mark in front of the sticks after the mid air hack from Will Ashcroft, i would need to see a tape measure be convinced that had gone 15😃. Overall I thought we did ok from the Umps, the tigers youthful enthusiasm caught them out in a few places...

    Review Round 4, 2025 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

    We were at least eight goals better than them all day so it was disappointing to only win by 5. Thought Fletcher was great , and Hugh with his tackling as an added weapon in his game was very special. I wanted to step away from the obvious votes though and gave some kudos to Bruce, he had a...

    Review Round 2, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. West Coast

    The other thing I would say for Cal, (and hopefully we see it again soon) is he fits well with Charlie in the side. Cal is a great pressure forward, and a great, strong straight runner. Charlie is a more elusive type with genuine speed but also elusive quickness. Having both of those options in...
