    List Mgmt. Back2Back Rorts Baby (aka 2026 draft thread)

    Player retention has improved significantly since Fagan was appointed for the 2017 season. Unfortunately, he won’t be with us forever. It would be foolish to think player retention is not an issue for us in the future when you see the problems GWS and Suns have had over the years (and the...

    I’m not sure you will still be able to go into deficit. If yes, that will help a bit. PommieinOz provides a good example of Walker to Carlton next year without ability to go into deficit (does say we don’t know the ins and outs yet); see from 5.26 - 6.40.

    Wouldn’t guarantee you the player in any event. Was floated above roughly what was needed to get Annable at pick 6. The problem is that the Lions list management dont know where the bid will land. If the rules change, quite possible if say WCE want Annable at pick 1, they could very well...

    Agree clubs like GC getting 4 high end picks isn’t right, and some change is needed…could just limit to 1 pick a year and no discount). We have only ever had 1 top 10 academy pick, for all the years and dollars we’ve put into it (and as some relief for players returning home). The rule...

    I’m really frustrated by this ‘next 2 picks’ change. It makes it virtually impossible to draft a top 5 F/S or Academy kid. Let’s say a kid is pick 3 : 2178 points are needed with discount no longer available. If the club finishes 4th, pick 15 is worth 973 points. 1205 points are still...

    There are 6 backline positions. Each has a responsibility for their direct opponent. This term lockdown defender. Reminds me of the time Big Bodied mid was all the rage. Whipped out recruiting into a frenzy recruiting players such as Jarrad Jensen and Eli Smith.

    Get him to add another 30kgs and I’m getting Plugger Lockett vibes. Tell him not to leave the goat square and bomb it long to him.

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Possibly Lions might be wanting to target a positional need too. I wouldn’t be disappointed if we used one of our picks on Matt LeRay from SA. Strong bodied 188cm wing/half back could help cover loss of Starc and Froggy coming towards the end. LeRay reads the flight of the ball exceptionally...

    Back when I had multiple forum accounts. Unfortunately I had to retire Ghost. At my peak I had 4 accounts going at once on another Lions forum. Maverick, ghost, Kate and Jamie. The 4 of us used to have great conversations together. Unfortunately it started getting a bit uncomfortable when...

    I voted for Sara-Marie. I reckon she’d be a better player manager than Ben.
