    Preview Geelong. Grand Final. You know when. You know where.

    Read the Cats preview and out of about 50 posts there was 1 or 2 that gave us a chance. They all think it’s as good as done, ‘easy win’, ‘we will smash em’ is the flavour of the day. Saw similar sentiment from Cats fans on my personal social media, about us being the team they wanted etc...

    Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

    Narr he says ‘I thought you were going to ask me about the freekick’ - then go asked, I think? I’d have to listen again. Recollection is, he raised it.

    Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

    I don’t like him much at all. Was a lot better last night though, he still mentioned the Elliot freekick, then proceeded to say ‘he didn’t want to talk about it’ 🤣🤣

    Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

    What a win, what a team, what a time to be alive. Wasn’t there a small group here earlier in the year, saying the premiership last year was a fluke, we are still no good, Fages still can’t coach, waste of a list etc? Surely those guys get their accounts deactivated at this point. GO LIONS!

    List Mgmt. Contracts/Trade/Draft Thread - 2025 Edition Vol 2

    Hey guys. I’ve been onto the idea and have heard, that Lachie will ask for a trade home at the end of this season for a few weeks now. Now it’s started in the media which I think justifies the word getting around. I also heard it won’t be Freo, it’ll be you guys. Jules Neale has been desperate...

    Crazy talking about trading Zac ahead of his FA window. I reckon 14 teams will table something to his manager this offseason - it will be the most in demand signing going into 2027. Zero chance he is anywhere but the Lions in 2026. Versatile game breaker, durable and just showed he could be a...

    Agree. With Will, I heard Marcus and the rest of the family are moving back up to Brisbane once their Daughter finishes her schooling in Melbourne, this year I believe? She is a good footballer and might go Father Daughter at the Lions. He did say he likes the Melbourne bubble, but he also...

    I think Bailey stays, similar to the other boys recently, will take a bit to keep but will do something long term - $1.1 or a bit more per year. No go home factor, doesen’t seem like one to shop himself and seems pretty settled and happy in Brissy. He will get mega offers though. Interesting...

    Can someone with decent knowledge in trade/FA explain how Starc might be used in this deal? If Starc is a FA - why would Essendon want to give up Ridley for him, for example? If Ridley was a FA that would work, as we would just both forgo our FA compo and swap them, but I don’t see how that...

    Review Round 19, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    We were good. Proud of that effort bar the usual Gabba Butchery/wastage. Should have been 40 points, Dogs super overrated. Oh and you are literally not allowed to to touch Sam Darcy!? Go boys!

    Review Round 13, 2025 - Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    Some I agree. The response here has been largely over the top. We were fantastic, super proud of the effort. To stay in the hunt, on the road, in shit conditions, againts a good side was great. Yeah we didn’t convert in the end, but that’s footy. There’s been games we’ve won because the oppo...

    Review Round 4, 2025 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

    Super surprised by the response by some here. I thought all facets of our game where ok, mid feild, ball movement, conversion. We let a few easy passages of play result in goals, but they were never within striking distance. The group were 100% looking forward to gather round, then the pies...

    I don’t think this is what’s going on. A few trade speculation pages floated he was keen to get back to WA once a FA. The fact he hasn’t signed yet, perpetuates that possibility. We are talking about a player from WA - so Starc is being discussed as a hypothetical trade scenario IF he were to...

    I’ve heard from a couple of people claiming to have loose connections to him and the club, that it’s Oscar Allen. I personally would be shocked, but if he hasn’t signed by mid year, I might start to believe it’s a possibility. Interesting that he hasn’t signed yet, local kid, skipper.. surely...

    Unofficial Preview Best 23 2025 Predictions

    Great thread. A lot of casual assumptions that we will bottle the exact team/individual out put of this finals series and get an extra 10% out of everyone. Very common fan reaction to winning a premiership. Progression is never lineal and even if we win back to back, next years line up will...

    Review Grand Final, 2024 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

    The after glow of winning is as good as the loss last year was devastating. I was doom and gloom right up to and even during the season. But the win has erased that and the last month has been pure fan heaven. We got one, I watched it with my kids live, Fages got one, Zorks and lachie got...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    DD will be our next coach. Has knocked backed big paying jobs 3 times now to stay. Makes sense, succession plan underway - DD to take the reins in 2027. How has this not been discussed before… or has it?

    Massive no to Weiderman, would rather devalop Smith if we don’t go the mature option. Kid just ain’t up to it, don’t need Smith, Ryan and him on the list.

    There will always be a lean toward players wanting to go to good teams. But players went to WC, North, Freo, Saints. Port and Pies had questionable trade period IMO. Dogs ok. Hawks did well but far from an established powerhouse, Battle and Barass arnt superstars. Lions and Swans sat idle...

    Whilst I’m confident enough with a plan of covering Joe with what we have, I think there is a significant over estimation of what that will look like, coming on the back of our finals charge. You don’t take a 68 goal, 21 disposal forward/ruck out of a side, not replace them, and cover it with...

    2024 GF - how many times have you watched?

    At least 4 times right through. A few second 1/4s. A mini or 2. 1 finals campaign right through. Highly recommend doing all 4 finals games from start to finish, it’s a weekend job, but it’s a beauty. I’ll be hammering it all summer, everytime I think ‘yep - I’m done for a while, the feeling...

    Loving the convo here, I was pissed off about Joe at first, but after the BNF and hearing he was going to leave this year either way, I instantly just became happy we/he got 1. He is hard to replace but I think we can still compete without him in 2025. Liking most of the options that have been...
