    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    Yep - Gardiner kept him to 1 goal both times he matched up on him (including the bloodbath Prelim in 2022). I want to steer it away from Gardiner v Lester though - it's purely about getting our matchups and balance right overall.

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    🤣🤣🤣 Nope. I don't think anyone is arguing that (although we'd need a second option, considering he had 4 kicked on him last matchup). Lester simply needs to continue in his 3rd defender role. Gardiner replaces Payne, and picks up the opposition #1 or #2 key forward. Again, On the Quiet is...

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    Wrong thread, but I'm comfortable with Oscar Allen via FA. Think we'd need to trade for either of the key forwards at Carlton - not something I'd like to do when we can get someone for "free".

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    Yep - we'll need to play Doedee at some point. I wasn't Lester bashing before - I think he's just getting exposed a bit more when against bigger forwards, this being even more amplified without Payne. Why we didn't start Gardiner on the ground (as FB) on Thurs night still baffles me. Lester...

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    Absolute rubbish. Lester didn't beat Curnow hands down at all. Watching live, Curnow beat him in almost every contest in the first half, and it wasn't because of Lester that Curnow was getting up the ground. We looked far better and balanced once Gardiner came on, and allowed Lester to go to...

    Good to see Gardiner back in the 18. Has taken Curnow before (and done a good job), and is a better matchup for him than Lester.

    RIP Robert Walls

    I might be in the minority here, but not a fan personally. My 2c....... Not because he doesn't deserve recognition (quite the opposite in fact - a legend of the game, and you could make a case that he is the "godfather" of the Lions as we know them), but these medals and "awards" die a slow...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    I did to a point, until I'd read that they'd purposedly not disclosed to the post-game ASADA testers the injection regime they'd been undertaking at the direction of Dank. That in itself is a breach of the code (as far as I'm aware). My ongoing gripe about the whole saga is that Essendon ended...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    For mine, Dank tried to outsmart ASADA by being purposely evasive on "Thymosin" when discussing it with them. There was this too: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/danks-stunning-admission-20140613-zs7ea.html Scuttlebutt was that there were indications they took other PED's, but TB4 was the...

    St Kilda complain about priority draft access in Oct 2024; now set to gain priority access to a first / second round pick via their NGA access

    Don't think it did. Original zone was within 50km of Brisbane CBD (from memory). Riewoldt was outside this. Ian Collins committed to expanding the zone to encompass all of the QAFL clubs, but never did: The rest is history! (P.S. - I saw him play what was to be his last reserves game, the...

    What is it with Geelong and BOO ?

    Never watched an Essendon game? Insufferable.

    One game wonders

    Good get! I'm obviously not an Adelaide supporter, but I always think of him when talk of unfulfilled talent pops up. I vaguely remember watching him, but distinctly remembering he was one of those players with more time on their hands than normal, and he was pretty skilful too? What might...

    Yeah, maybe it did. Either way, he wasn't out. Been all downhill for the Windies since pretty much that series. Cheers

    I think it did hit the glove, but McDermott's glove wasn't on the bat, so it should have been not-out. I'm sure DRS would have fixed everything!

    Review Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    As good as Answerth (and that's ANSwerth, Matt Hill) has been, let's not underplay the impact of Starcevich not playing. As per the 3rd quarter, opposing teams are getting shots on goal far too easily when entering our D50 at times. Not a good trend. Starcevich back will go some way towards...

    Preview Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    Those highlights from the early 2000's just remind me what a bunch of try-hards they were, and are (both players and supporters). Absolutely insufferable. Faux tough guys, Fletcher being hidden in the backline, their supporters booing every decision (they are the most unwatchable team because...

    Yeah, sorry, to clarify, we have brought someone in outside of our emergencies previously (which is where fines can be generated from). We certainly haven't done it as late as Collingwood though.

    Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

    Nope. From memory, it was Sunday game, we made the call Sat, and as we gave the other team "adequate" notice, it was all ticked off by the AFL. I seem to recall it was a tall (ruckman?)

    Review Round 11, 2025 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

    Some random thoughts: Credit where credit is due - the coaching staff could have taken what might have been seen to be the easier option, and drop Fort off the back of Gawn's dominance last week. I don't think any of us would have thought twice if that was the case. Instead, they gave O an...

    Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

    What a surprise: a) They were all errors (yet again the AFL tightens a rule, then softens it over time, with no explanation) b) It involved Collingwood (after they introduced shepherding on the mark, underhanded time wasting, avoiding insufficient intent, etc, etc). Always pushing the...

    Review Round 7, 2025 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    A couple of seasons ago, I would have agreed. Now, not so much. I reckon since Answerth got back into the team, and Starc got back, our coverage and balance has been a lot better, and we were and are far less exposed against smaller forwards. Maybe there's an element too, that when our KPD's...

    Review Round 7, 2025 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    Considering the way he completely dismantled Higgins last year (4 disposals - lowest ever in a full game), and his average disposals against us is lower than any other team, I dare say Higgins would have been breathing a sigh of relief that Starcevich was unavailable. All things being equal, him...
