    Forgetting Sam Marshall

    Sam Marshall’s contract expires at the end of this year. He will be getting big offers to move to other clubs and will need to decide whether he wants to play in a successful side or play back in Victoria where he will get more midfield minutes and more money. He remains a development player who...

    Review Round -1, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    Apparently Annable was best on ground in the reserves so he should debut.

    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    A lot has been said about two rucks and we got away with them for our finals campaign. I believe Draper is eventually going to be our number one ruck but as everyone knows we need to be careful with him during the season so we can get another tilt at the flag. An extra man on the bench gives us...

    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    It will be interesting to see what happens with the new ball up rule. Much will depend on how quickly the umpire decides to throw the ball up. If the main ruck is one kick away from the play in either an offensive or defensive position he may not get to the contest in time. It will be...

    Football Related Random Thread - PART 2

    Our forward line was our weakness for sure. We manufactured goals through our midfield and kicked too many points. I reckon we improved once Gallop came into the side and we straightened up our entries into the forward line. Hopefully our new recruits will improve our efficiency.

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    I have been holding off on making making comments on the Ah Chee trade debacle but would like to put some perspective on it. The Lions are currently in the premiership window for the next two to three years but this largely depends on player retention, injuries and recruiting. Out current list...

    Grand Final non-football thread (inc tickets)

    Fellow supporters, I was thinking about having a meal at a FITZROY pub on grandfinal day and watching the game if I don’t get a ticket for the grandfinal lottery. Which pub would you recommend?

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    Doedee is not playing well enough in the reserves to be playing in the 1st but it really depends on the balance of the Sydney side. If they are playing a taller forward line Next year the AFL will most likely have 5 on the interchange bench. This means most teams will have room for an extra...

    2nds 2025 VFL thread

    Gee what a comeback. In the first half they could not kick straight but fixed that up in the second. Smith was massive another 20 possession game and competed well in the ruck, Tunstill to me was our second best as he picked up his usual possessions and kicked 2 goals - the first being a 65...

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    The points system has changed just this year making it difficult for either the Queensland or Sydney teams to take multiple players like last year especially if the players are high picks. If the academies continue to stay strong this point system will be further modified to make it fair.

    2nds 2025 VFL thread

    Dev from memory was highly regarded in his draft year was the captain of the WAFL under 18s could find the ball and lay tackles . He was highly regarded for his leadership. The Lions picked him up at around pick 20 . So he was nearly the complete package except for his kicking. The reason why...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    I agree with you. The lions need another back up key forward at the moment because if either Morris or Hipwood go down we will be in trouble come finals time. I don’t know how many ready made key forwards there are but if someone was available and good enough to step up to the AFL when needed...

    Training 2025 Pre-Season Thread

    Why would you put an All Australian as a super sub? Don’t forget he was even tagged in the finals so his form can’t be that bad. For me he plays in the starting line up however if he is carrying an injury or loses his form then he would be our best super sub as you have suggested. The problem we...

    List Mgmt. 2024 List Management discussion

    The tiger supporters will be in a world of pain for the next two to three years until the new recruits develop and become AFL standard players. If they get their recruiting right their trajectory could be the same as the Lions, Hawks or GWS which bodes well for the future. If you want to bottom...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Father Son watch MKIII. Operation Ashcroft jnr. Featuring various academy boys.

    Just wondering Briztoon what you reckon we will do with our pick 27. When Ashcroft gets selected pick 27 becomes valuable. Do you think we might try and get a 2nd round pick in 2025 plus a later 2024 pick? Also how many list spots do we have available for 2024? It’s seems are running out of...
