    Soft Cap Implosion

    There is a growing industry concern getting more airtime every day about the AFL decision to cut the Soft Cap from $9.7m to $6.7m for the 2021 season. Senior coaches such as Scott and Longmire have spoken with great concern about the negative impact on clubs and the well-being of personnel...

    Best Incoming Lions Trade Ever

    Early days but Lachie Neale must be right up there as the best or one of the Lions best ever trades since the Bears/Lions merger.

    Go Home (to Queensland) and list management

    If we are successful in enticing Dayne Beams to "go home", it begs the question how many Queenslanders are on other Club lists that would have some appeal for us and in the process bolster our list. Obviously, the Academy has the potential to get more Queenslanders on our list over time but in...

    What we can learn from Sydney

    With Sydney the 2012 Premiers, all other clubs will now be looking to deconstruct their success in one way or another, particularly given that they have won the big one against a club that for all intents and purposes had a stronger list and more A graders. To the degree that "clubs win...

    Indigenous Players at the Lions

    I note that Chris Johnson has recently bought into the post Liam Jurrah debate about the recruitment of indigenous players by AFL clubs. It has been inferred that some club recruiters are loath to recruit aboriginal players because they are too risky and too much trouble to keep. My...

    Toast Post-Season Surgeries

    Can't imagine that this will be an extended thread but thought it might be a good idea to keep tabs on our post season surgeries. To date: Blacky (ankle), Staker (knee reco), Drummond (hip)...

    Top 10 Draft Picks

    Just reflecting on the Carlton game and the role of their top 10 draft picks. Any chance of someone generating a rank order of teams and the number of top 10 draft picks they currently have on their lists. The Lions must be very lowly ranked with perhaps only Polec and Rich in that category...

    Preview Official Round 8 Brisbane Lions V Essendon ( 'Gabba Sat Night )

    It was the 2nd of June 2001. The Bombers came up to the ‘Gabba hot favourites against a young Lions brigade struggling to make their mark on the competition. The talent was there, this was shown in 1999 when they reached a prelim final on the back of this in form youth coupled with a few senior...

    Our Full Forward needs to be Jim Polkinghorne.

    Key Position players are stereotyped at being at least 190cm+. In our current situation we need a player capable of taking marks on a lead inside 50 and slotting goals. Who says this needs to be Cornelius or Retzaff? Take a look at Mark LeCras/Phil Matera. It's time to use our resources wisely...

    The Go-Home Factor

    It is my view, that there is a lot more made of the "go home" factor than is justified by the facts. How many players have the Lions actually lost to the "go home" factor in the last 10 years? Off the top of my head, I can think of Headland. The reality is, a player such as Headland, may have...

    Salary Cap

    The Lions clearly have a major salary cap issue for 2011. The big question is Why? I can only assume that it is a combination of factors, i.e. 1) needing to pay above the market rate to keep players in Brisbane 2) the Fev factor, 3) poor list management... One can only assume that if we finished...

    Only way to stop Collingwood is to put Brisbane in the GF!

    Besides the fact Collingwood are Lions feed in finals, we also beat them at the 'gabba this year with an injured fev/brown! No Lions = Collingwood flag!

    Greatest Team of the Modern Era

    Given the embarassing demise of the Cats tonight with a full list and no excuses, any doubt about the Lions being the greatest team of the modern era has been removed once and for all. Back to back to back premierships and 4 consecutive grand finals is simply a case of "I rest my case"!

    Best Online Stores for Games

    Lads, I'm looking to save a bit of coin and do a bit of online shopping for my next round of ps3 games (fifa, nba, cod etc.).. i'm sure some of you know some pretty good sites that are reliable and certainly cheaper than EB/game. Also, does it matter what region the game is? Thanks in advance.

    NBA Elite '11

    Am i the only one on this board even slightly excited by the prospect of EA finally getting their shit together with a basketball game? The trailors & previews are looking pretty impressive.. I can't wait!

    Best 22 Round 1 2011

    Ah it's never too early to start! Assuming we have no big recruits and both Brennan, Rischa are gone. B: McGrath Merrett Patfull HB: Adcock Maguire Drummond C: Rockcliff Rich Polec HF: Banfield Clark Power F: Polkinghorne Brown Fevola R: Leueunburger Black Redden INT: Hanley, Harwood...

    Compensation Picks

    It's going to be a massive sting if we lose Rischa. What sort of compensation will we get if he does indeed go to the GC?
  18. T Rick

    In hindsight, this is what we could have, should have, would have, done. PLEASE READ.

    2006: J Selwood instead of M Leueunburger 2007: C Rioli instead of L Henderson 2007: Kept the pick 14 we got for Cameron Wood and acquire Jack Grimes. The next question is how would the fevola trade have panned out without Lachie Henderson. If we had Selwood & Rioli i could quite happily live...

    I don't support a picture of a Lion, I support the Brisbane Lions Football Club.

    Good on you Rischa..

    Where many a player would have folded Rischa has followed his gut. I feel he may have even done the lions a favour, with there still been the possibility that we can snag Fev with Jmac or the like. Hopefully we get Fev and keep Risch.

    Luke Ball Please.

    The exact kind of inside mid we are after. Tough as nails, tackles like a man possessed, hands are nearly as good as Blacky's. Seems out of favour with Ross Lyon. What would we have to give up to get him?

    Nathan Brown delisted - the forward we need?

    Interesting, probably the exact mould of forward we need. however is now 31 and would be delaying the development of rockliff/polkinghorne etc. would we take a gamble?
  24. T Rick

    We should target Danyle Pearce.

    The exact sort of player we need. A quick, flashy, skilful midfielder who is still relatively young and has plently to learn from Voss. At Port he often gets tagged, but with the messiah (Daniel Rich) and a few other up and coming mids. Pearce could quite possibly not get as much attention at...

    Please Help - Brownlow Tipping

    G'day sainters, Am very keen to put a 100 dollar bet on one of your boys for a top 3 finish in the brownlow. However haven't seen you play a hell of a lot this year so not sure on whether to go dal, montagna, hayes or maybe even goddard. My initial thought was montagna, but basically only...

    Changes for Round 17

    Out: Bradshaw In: Henderson Out: Brennan In: Johnstone Out: Proud In: Hooper Out: Collier In: Hanley What do you guys think? Any others?

    Lions would have got bigger crowd in Brisbane than Port Adelaide in Adelaide.

    Is this good or bad? It's interesting. Port only got 20,000. Brisbane would have gotten probably 27,000 (maybe 30,000) atleast at the 'gabba if it had been in Brisbane. Are Port in real trouble when a Queensland crowd would be comfortably bigger than their own?

    Dayne Beams

    For months wanted us to take him in second round, was spewing when we passed considering i didn't know a thing about Jack Redden. Redden could still prove to be a good footballer, but at the moment i can't help but wish we picked up Beams.. :( .. Anyone feel the same?

    How do i get from St Lucia to the 'Gabba?

    Just wondering if anyone could help me out on how i should get from UQ to the 'gabba and back come game day? Would the best option be a city cat to the city and then a bus to the 'gabba? Or a more efficient way? Anyway, any advice would be good..
