    Academy Watch

    Tickner has played the last 5 games with Aspley and previous to that, 2 with the lions reserves including amongst the best players against the GC Suns. He is playing as well as any of the other Academy boys but seems to be largely forgotton. He did play earlier with UQ after recovering from a...

    Toast Jonathan Brown appreciation thread

    Congratulations on a magnificent career. Just love the way he played real footy, the way it was meant to be played. Hard, tough and fair. A great example to any kid following in his footsteps. Well done JB.

    Academy Watch

    Missed 2 games with minor ankle injury. Came back through the QAFL for UQ last week. Kicked 3 goals and named in best players. May possibly be back with Aspley seniors this week.

    Game Day NAB Cup Round 1 - Hawthorn v Brisbane

    Ok , I probably should have used the term overawed by a far more experienced team as were plenty of others. The kid has been impressive and more than likely will continue to be impressive. He just wasn't on Thursday night.

    Game Day NAB Cup Round 1 - Hawthorn v Brisbane

    As I said this wasn't directed at Freeman as I certainly hope he goes on to make it. But it was silly for anyone to call his debut impressive. I did not mean that he is a Dud but that the whole episode with the young team turned out to be a rather dud performance. I have a great deal of time for...

    Game Day NAB Cup Round 1 - Hawthorn v Brisbane

    Agree about Bourke being impressive but how can you call Freemans game impressive? You must be kidding! He had 1 disposal in just over half a game, missed an easy mark in the 3rd quarter and never got anywhere near it again. He was completely lost when the hawks were coming out of defence...

    Strategy 2014 First Rookie Promo

    I would agree that Bourke should be the first to be upgraded to the senior list. I cant see that he really made a number of errors last night. He was just beaten by a far more experienced player in a couple of one on one situations. One really stood out when he was sidestepped by Ruffie which...

    2014 Draft Discussion

    POBT, Yes you are right. If he turns out to be just a good ordinary player then we are in front and the rookie list is the best place to start. It is just my humble opinion that it wont happen with Archie. I like the kid and would be more than happy to have egg on my face in 2 years time. GO...

    2014 Draft Discussion

    I concur with Quigley, I think Dawson is definitely the best prospect for next year. I don't rate Hammelman as highly as I have kept a close eye on him all year and only seen limited signs. He has good skills but is lacking in other areas mentioned. Maybe with a good preseason in the gym he...

    2013 Rookie Draft

    Fantastic result to get Conway. This kid really deserves his chance. He has done everything right in his lead up to the draft. I hope he goes on and plays seniors for many years. As for Archie, I can't understand where all the love is coming from. He seems like a really nice kid but can he play...

    2013 Potential Draftee and Trade Watch

    Very disappointed this kid was not taken by the Lions through their Academy. He starred as a bottom ager for Qld last year and was rated to be a 2nd rounder this year. Unfortunately was hit with injuries (not soft tissue) missed most of the preseason and has gone unnoticed this year. An AIS...
