    Unofficial Preview Preliminary Final: Lions v Pies - 5.15 Saturday 20 September

    Might be coincidence more than anything, but I love that Fagan has reintroduced the Big O right as the whips are cracking. What a motivational tool to pull him out the front and get the boys up and going to get him a flag. It’s going to be hot, if we can get the uncontested mark game going and...

    Review Semi Final, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

    His talk in the last quarter about whether we considering a rebuild was absolutely putrid.

    Well said. There are few moving parts, but without much draft capital available we are constrained to FA selections when it comes to bringing in higher level established players. When it comes to FA much depends on the year. We got lucky with Joe being available when we were hitting our straps...

    Likely to only get worse with the league expanding further, too. As mentioned elsewhere, I'd be looking at how we can innovate with our forward setup. They're hard to find, but with Charlie’s steep decline, I think a genuine list need is a small forward with strong tackle pressure. I’d hope...

    Review Qualifying Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    Fantastic summary. Gallop, L Ashcroft and Day all had nights they’d want to forget in their first finals. Absolutely. We’ve actually done a remarkable job to finish top 4, with the injuries and our draw. Any side would have struggled to cover our injuries this year. Even the fact guys like...

    If the full reco does happen, I wonder if the noise around Mitch Lewis might pick back up again. Has been injured too, but has talent and might be gettable. Other than him, can’t think of too many others.

    Review Qualifying Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    Gardiner was a bright spot. They choked up the corridor, went to work on our play makers and we had no plan B that we could execute. Fort did some nice things, but his positioning was definitely poor at stoppages. I have been against it, it tonight showed why we are after Draper. Ridley too...

    He is from the NT, and has lived in Queensland since. I am hoping the weather is going to be a deterrent for him to move south!!

    I think Starce goes to Dangerfield. I’d be very confident with that match up too.

    Unofficial Preview Qualifying Final 2025 v Cats @MCG.

    Especially against Stanley this week, who was - to the eye at least - nullified by Joe in the second half of the prelim last year.

    It’s an omen. The last time we signed one Bombers tall as a FA it resulted in a flag. Sign two… I’m not huge on Draper either, but if they were willing to send Ridley our way through increased compo out of that signing it would be a massive win. That said, surely the Dons will play hardball...

    I think as previous posters have pointed to, if we can position our offer for Draper to net top shelf compo it might help sway the Bombers to release him. That or packaging up the picks we receive for Ah Chee and Starcevich (assuming Eagles are forced to trade if/when the AFL knocks back their...

    Prediction 2025 All Australian team and squad

    Agreed - and to be honest, Bailey Dale. He fills his boots agains the lower ranked sides, but arguably isn't as impactful as Zorko or Ash against the top 8 teams. He misses for mine.

    Unofficial Preview Qualifying Final 2025 v Cats @MCG.

    That's a good point. The handball, tackling, high pressure game would more suit Bruce, and the run and spread would more suit Marshall. So, it will be interesting to see who out of Bruce and Marshall gets the nod as sub (assuming Berry and Neale come in for Tunstill and Gallop).
