    Unofficial Preview Round 14 v Tigers @Devils Island.

    Hmmm I’m conflicted on whether to play Eric or not. Part of me thinks if he’s right, a game before the bye may not be the worst thing in the world. If he pulls up a bit sore he has two weeks to recover anyway. The other part of me thinks an extra couple of weeks on the track might end up better...

    Review Round 13, 2026 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Said it a few times before, but I believe the problems started on or before GF day. I’ve said before but if you go back and watch his attitude on the bench after being subbed, it was poor to say the least. Even towards the end of the game when everyone was celebrating, he still looked like he...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    I mean sure if that’s the way we are going to play moving forward then he may not be as irreplaceable as we think. I was going on the sample size of about 8 years worth of games as opposed to a one off game, but if last nights style which looked a bit more overlap run to me is the way forward...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    Zorko is the one I worry about replacing the most as we’ve seen how much we struggle without him. Obviously we all had high hopes for Kiddy, and hopefully he still gets there, but I do worry the game may have gone past him and his body with the amount of time he missed. In the whole Fages era...

    Review Round 13, 2026 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Yeah his place in the team must be in jeopardy if we can get some of these players back. He just can’t get near the ball, although I did say last week he at least has to apply pressure in that role, and he was clearly much better in that space last night including 4 tackles. He’s probably lucky...

    Game Day Round 13, 2026 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Logan looks so much better with a half competent key forward beside him up there.

    Game Day Round 13, 2026 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    All part of Fages’ plan. Put out some poor performances and other teams think we’re shit now, to have them think all they need to do is rock up and get a win. We’ve made an art form of being on the other side of that for years.

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Think both of them will for sure. Marshall is another one for which it is now pretty obvious doesn’t fit within the group for whatever reason, so I also think he’ll be gone at seasons end. And my hypothetical was if Fages leaves next season. By which time you could also add experienced players...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Would be interesting to see the applicants if we did open it up to a merit process. Would tell us a lot as to whether external parties think we’ve had our run and are in for a bit of a rebuild, or whether we’ve still got more to give even with some experience players expected to leave/retire by...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    It would probably shock me if he walked away this year given it doesn’t look like we will get the three peat. Reckon he would want one final crack next year with this group in the hope we have a better run with injury. Would not shock me if we hear during the offseason that next year will be...

    Unofficial Preview Round 13, Pineapple Grapple @Carara.

    Hugh with a fresh calf injury? Made that decision easy. **** this season though honestly. Edit. There we go.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    Oh yeah don’t get me wrong we should have a bit of cash to throw around, not even taking into consideration that some the young guys will want a decent upgrade, including Logan in particular. I guess it may be a tougher sell to bring players in externally though if it looks like our run is...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    Yeah that’s my concern with him too. Possibly we are done this year and that’ll play out over the next few weeks/months, but if we are average next year, off the back of losing a few players this year, I can absolutely (unfortunately) see a world where he takes off for big money.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    Morris leaving is the one that scares me, and seemingly most on this board. We have nothing to go on right now, but I can certainly see a world where we on this board are collectively shitting ourselves at this time next year when he remains unsigned. Obviously this group has taken us on an...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Didn’t know where to put this but the footage is damning really. Think a few of us have seen a bit of this going on lately. Something else the coaches need to stamp out ASAP. P.S. There’s nothing about “good leadership” when players stop playing to have a sook to the umpire Hodgy and...
