    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    One of the gems from this interview was that while the Lions didn’t receive any compensation for the loss of Ah Chee, Adelaide had to up their offer to Cal to make sure he didn’t go anywhere else in the draft. I can live with that. Cal was the big winner. Good luck to him

    Football Related Random Thread - PART 2

    It is really a credit to the individuals involved in the formation the Bears. Somehow they found a way to survive and we now enjoy the benefits. I never thought I would see a Queensland based team in my lifetime. Not only are there two teams but one of them has won five premierships. Queensland...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    There is always the possibility that Cal will decide to go home to WA after all. The Eagles will get the pick and would only need to match the Crow’s offer.

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    Ah Chee was very close to the Norm Smith winner in 2024 and then did a great shut down job on one of Geelong’s most dangerous offensive weapons in 2025. You don’t just give away players who perform on the big stage like that. Even a first round pick is unlikely to be able to replicate what Cal...

    Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    I suspect he made these statements to deflect criticism away from his players, he wouldn’t have been concerned that criticism would come his way. Geelong were pulverised in the Grand Final, their key players came up short when it really mattered. How will they deal with this in coming seasons...

    Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    I was at this game, it is the only time I have ever left early. The people I was with couldn’t stand it anymore. However it was these beltings that made our success more enjoyable.

    Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    It gets to me every time Zorko is discussed. Let’s go back to the start of his football career. He is on the Suns extended list, wins the B & F every year at Broadbeach but they decide never to give him a go. WTF. He was awesome right from the moment he walked into the Gabba. Maybe that “chip on...

    Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    I’m not a religious man but I’m not sure I haven’t died and gone to heaven. Let me tell you about my last couple of weeks. I’d never been to a Preliminary at the MCG but I got tickets and I saw us beat the Pies. I was lucky enough to get tickets in the ballot for the Grand Final. I saw Greg...

    I am assuming the team will be at Brunswick Oval tomorrow before they fly back tomorrow. Does anyone know what time they will be there?

    WTF is Goyder doing the toast. He is an embarrassment to the game. Shouldn’t even be on the board.

    Preview Geelong. Grand Final. You know when. You know where.

    Unfortunately I don’t think we can risk selecting Bez, he has done his shoulder twice in his last 4 games. He would be our best match up against Dempsey but the stakes are too high

    Grand Final non-football thread (inc tickets)

    I’m P2, the charge went through the credit card last night but I haven’t seen any tickets yet. Trying to remain calm but I was P3 last year and missed out.

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

    I hadn’t been back to Melbourne since before covid. It was time to reacquaint myself. Caught the tram from the city. Walked along Gertrude Street. Had a beer at the Builders’ Arms, we toasted Archie Roach. Headed to the Napier Hotel but there was no sign of Jack Irish. Called in at Naked For...
