    Coach Stuart Dew - Where is the scrutiny?

    I generally enjoy watching Gold Coast lose as much as the next person, but you really can't be serious with that comment. Melbourne could not have been more favoured with the umpires in that one. It's odd actually, because I generally feel like GC get a good run with the umpires and Melbourne...

    Worst player to play in a grand final??

    Trying to figure out why 2017 is listed here - do you mean 2020?

    Prediction 2023 Ladder Prediction Thread

    1. Melbourne - Back to full fitness, I think they'll be somewhat unstoppable again. Saw Richmond falter the year after their breakthrough premiership before bouncing back, and I think Melbourne will do the same and most likely win the flag in 2023. 2. Carlton - Primed and ready to go, and will...

    NO TROLLS Zorko Sledge Towards Petty Revealed

    The idea that Lions fans have been trying to defend Zorko is a bit hilarious. We've had a number of people on our board actually saying they won't go the game next Thursday night because they were so disappointed in him. Go and read our thread on the matter - it has been full of almost universal...

    COVID Flags and Championships - They're Just Not The Same, Are They.

    My feeling last year is the same as this year. The finals do have a slightly flatter feel to them on the whole due to all that's going on (the general anxiety and uncertainty, the lack of full crowds and travelling fans, the absence of Victoria and all the usual GF festivities), but history will...

    News David Noble - New North Melbourne Coach

    Just on this point, McCluggage & Berry were actually drafted when Fagan & Noble were already at the club. They were in the 2016 draft, and Fages & Nobes joined a couple of months before that. It is true that we had been in a rebuild for a few years before the arrival of Fagan (in one form or...

    Is Brisbane the worst top two side ever?

    I've thought this narrative was unsurprising but drastically overstated all year. A tradition just about as old as the sport itself is decrying any possible advantage of a successful opposition team. Brisbane of the early 2000's had salary cap concessions, Geelong of the late 2000's benefited...

    2021 Fixture - Repeat of 2020 Fixture?

    Certainly from a Lions point of view it would be an ideal result - four home Thursday/Friday night games scheduled was something so many were looking forward to (emotionally and financially for the club too) after a decade of Sunday twilights.

    2021 Fixture - Repeat of 2020 Fixture?

    Footy Classified saying that next year's fixture looks set to be this year's fixture again. I think it's probably a good and fair result overall - although it will be interesting if one team has a dramatic rise this season from the bottom to win the flag, yet then go into next season with a...

    2014 rising star

    Anyone know when the result is announced? Reckon it'll probably end up being Bontempelli, for no other reason than people who would know better than I do believe it will go that way. I haven't seen nearly enough of him to really comment as to whether or not he's been better than either Taylor or...

    2014 rising star

    If I had to take a stab right now... 1. Marcus Bontempelli 2. Luke Dunstan 3. Lewis Taylor Might be accused of bias with the last one, but I think Taylor has been among our best all season (better than Aish in my opinion), and has played consistent enough footy to be right up there.

    Lions guernsey fight on the cards?!?

    I think regardless of whether or not the old guernsey should return, what I believe is a non-negotiable is that the members should have a say in things such a guernsey change which they never did many years ago. It'd be great if as many people as possible on here could take 15 seconds to go...

    Latest Demetriou interview

    Yeah, because that's really what matters. When the grand final entertainment is the first thing you can find to complain about, I'd say the game is in pretty good shape. It's all about perspective. Take it from an ex-league fan that everything, and I mean everything is administrated better in...

    Latest Demetriou interview

    I think BigFooty is not an accurate sample of the general opinion in regards to Demetriou. Most people I know think he's done a spectacular job with the game, and I tend to agree. Compared to how some of the other sports are faring at the moment, it'd be hard not to.

    Live Event 2012 Brownlow Medal Thread - PLUS Live Chat from 7PM

    Well done Jobe. Not entirely sure he deserved it (in fact I'm quite sure there are two or three who had better years), but he's far from a poor player.

    Rain forecasted for weekend. Which team will that suit more.

    Move the game to Etihad.

    Who will be sacked first? (if either)

    Surprised to see there's still a general vibe among supporters that Voss should go. That has well and truly subsided on the Lions board, which is obviously from people most emotionally invested in the success of the club. Some were calling for his head early in the season, but he's done a...

    List of Teams Closest Their Next Flag

    Seems you can't have an opinion without being ridiculed any more. I guess time will tell with Freo, but they aren't one of the powerhouse clubs yet. Keep in mind they were as low as thirteenth near the middle of the season. I think there's a bright future, but doubt it'll come within the next...

    List of Teams Closest Their Next Flag

    Honestly, my club culture comment is almost entirely as a result of how Mark Harvey was sacked. Understandable that a new coach was wanted, but for the heads of the club to go behind his back and make him the last to find out just seemed wrong to me. All subjective, of course, but it stunk of...

    List of Teams Closest Their Next Flag

    Does seem like there's going to be quite a few supporters very disappointed next year. Not everyone's club can make the eight, sadly. As impossible as it is to say, my ranking would be about this: 1. Hawthorn - Self explanatory 2. Collingwood - While they've got Swan, Pendlebury, Beams...

    Your Club in 2013

    Not beyond the realms of possibility, but we'd need a really horrible season for Vossy to lose his job. With still low expectations surrounding the group, you'd think we'd have to win 6 or less and show very little or no development in our youngsters for it to happen. Would require us to go...

    Your Club in 2013

    Top 4 sounds like it's going to be crowded next year. I reckon the Lions will end up around 10th. Would be pretty happy with that personally.

    10 International footballers/athletes invited to National Draft Combine

    Great initiative, but I don't think any from that lot will be picked up (on senior lists, at least).

    John McCarthy passes away in Las Vegas. RIP

    Ok guys, stop it. Not the time for personal fights of any type. Just drop it.

    John McCarthy passes away in Las Vegas. RIP

    Absolutely tragic. Will take footy some time to recover from this, and rightly so. All my thoughts with Port Adelaide and anyone who knew him. Just a tragedy.
