Wow. They look in ripping shape.

I really hope guys like Dev, Tunstill push any senior guys who are 5% off their game.

What, come to the Lions and play like shit and leave after a year?

Well, the way it looks to me, the most obvious move for old man Fagan to make is:
Neale out
Levi in

But what would Chris Scott do?

A Maccas run.

 

[martinson]

But what would Chris Scott do?

Whatever Fagan tells him to do.

Great to see Lachie looking so ripped and agile after barely being able to walk for 8 weeks.

That guy is a machine.

That is one fit*, determined looking team!

*In context of weight and conditioning injuries-withstanding.

Ashcroft out
Ashcroft in
Genius move from a master coach.

Actually down Geelong way they must be spitting chips that they got bloused in the last couple of minutes in the Prelim. It's great telling my best mate , a mad Geelong supporter , that the Cats were 2 minutes away from winning a flag by 10 goals and being hailed as one of the greatest teams ever.

I wonder if this is the year when they kick the bucket. I see the draw has given them a 2 game start again.

Yeah ,didn't want to tempt fate but the guys look in pristine condition and you could see the determination their faces. Maybe there's intense competition to be a part of it in 2025.

Can tell they care about backing up 2024 if nothing else. That's all we as fans can ask for.

Glad to see Kiddy is looking fitter.

Still pinching myself sometimes that we are the reigning premiers going into this season. Haven’t been as excited and also relaxed going into the new year for a while.

Worked for 1 game.

Worked for one training run (it was the game vs West Coast wasn't it?)

The Lions' hunt for back-to-back flags is strengthening with forward Lincoln McCarthy's return from injury firming for the opening round.

Not sure how accurate the report is but Dizzy & Linc could be available for selection for OR according to 7 News Brisbane tonight.

 

[LongLion]

All players looking lean and ripped.

AFL 2025: Three positional swaps every club should be eyeing this season

BRISBANE
Sam's Day To Shine?
Sam Day is the low risk, high reward pick-up that could just work out big time for the Lions. If – and it’s a big if, given his history – he can stay healthy, Day can fill the role left by Joe Daniher. He won’t offer the same output, but with so much talent around him it could be enough for Brisbane to give the flag another shake in 2025. Stuart Dew will know how to get the most out of him.
Keep Cam Inside 50
For the past five years we’ve wanted Cam Rayner to become a full-time mid. But Brisbane seemed to strike the perfect balance last year as a high-marking medium forward with short stints in midfield. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And if the Lions go smaller this year with no Daniher, Rayner can play an even bigger role.
Double Ashcroft Trouble
Chris Fagan, give the people what they want. Find a way to get Levi Ashcroft in the team early and let the two brothers run rampant. Give Will his standard midfield minutes and rotate Levi into the guts when his brother needs a rest.

 

[Nuggo]

Ashcroft to Ashcroft to Ashcroft to Ashcroft Goal!

 

[Saucery]

Ashcroft to Ashcroft to Ashcroft to Ashcroft Goal!

First brothers to win the Brownlow, together?

 

[Section 5]

Nice to see posters getting excited about how our guys look after the break.
Settle down though it is only a training run.
Good to hear Linc and Gardiner look like they are available round one.
Linc also mentioned Levi should take his time as he will be a great asset. Debut round 5,6 he said.
Maybe Linc want to improve his chances in rounds 1-5

Marking the time until the first time someone comments on someone looking jacked from a flex-friendly pic.

Apparently, police, fire and ambulances were called to Springfield earlier today after reports of several houses being trained down
