    Congratulations Tom Matthews

    Congratulations to Tom Matthews the inaugural winner of The Troy Clarke scholarship designed to assist young footballers from regional Queensland. I have never met Tom or seen him play but to have already racked up 200 games for the Dalby Swans is a great achievement for a 14 year old. I would...

    Umpire Appreciation Round

    After all those free kicks in front of goal the umps gave the Bombers I was finding it difficult to be appreciative. Then I watched the Hawks and Saints game and realised we can be thankful we didn't get umpire Nicholls. So I am appreciative.

    The Scott Bros

    I am always impressed by the way these guys present themselves. Whether it's after a win or a loss they are always same. Both highly intelligent but tough,hard and fair. There was never any doubt they would make great coaches. We were very fortunate to have these two at our club and I wish them...

    Kick Ins ???

    Our plan A seems to be all targets spred out but remain stationary leaving the kicker with no alternative but to go short to the pocket. Plan B seems to be to kick long to a contest. Plan C Refer plan A Plan D See above I did notice one team use "the huddle" over the weekend. Even...

    Mitch Clark Injury?

    I haven't seen a report on Mitch's injury. I must admit I feared the worst when I saw him on the boundary on Sunday. Did I miss something on the boards?

    Crackers to the Saints??

    If I was coaching St Kilda I would be on the phone trying to get Crackers. You cannot win finals without a good ruckman....Now who could we get in return?

    Why Voss must play next season

    The Richmond game is the best example of why we need Voss to play next season. The lack of leadership and direction on the park in the first half was mind blowing. Surely someone out there could have realised that kicking the ball long to a three on one contest wasn't working. He might be a lot...

    A Message for Brad Scott

    I am a big fan but the time where you could baulk around an opposition player has long gone. Just get rid of the ball with the first option. Never try to outrun or run around your opponent.

    TV Coverage

    Whoever is successful in the battle for TV rights they must guarrantee live coverage of all Friday night games into Queensland and NSW. The game will not continue to grow without live coverage of these games. You will not get new fans(and even many old ones) sitting up until 1.30am to watch games.

    A Message For Charmo

    Whatever you do over the summer, make sure you get the name of Big Bad Barry's QC. If he had been representing you throughout your career you would have an unblemished record.

    Time for Bret Voss To Come Home

    I think its time we made an offer to get Bret back to the Lions. I wouldn't imagine he is on huge money at the Saints given the other talent in the team. It's about time the "go home factor" worked in our favour.

    Who will be our next chb?

    Who is going to replace Leppa when he has to give it away(hopefully that will not be for a couple of years)? It appears there isn't anybody ready to fill the position. While Drummond will probably go on and play a mountain of games for the Lions he doesn't really look completely suited to the...

    Josh Drummond

    Very impressed with this kid. Either he has come a long way very quickly or we have been slow to get him onto our list. Shows great composure and good skills, not something you see everyday in such an inexperienced player. Makes me feel good about the future. :)

    Well done Nige

    Lappin's contribution to the success of the Lions has been seriously underestimated by the general football public. If he played for a Melbourne based club his public profile would be much greater, which is probably the reason he enjoys Brisbane so much. To perform consistantly at such a high...

    Scott does Hamill a big favour

    Chris Scott did Hamill a big favour saying he took a dive and that his chipped teeth came from a different incident. Always portrayed as "the bad boy" Scott has shown he can take it as well as dish it out. The contest between the two was one of the highlights of the game and it would have been a...

    Eddie gets his way again!!

    Eddie finally got the salary concessions for Brisbane and Sydney taken away from the end of 2006. In what must be one of the most short sighted decisions ever made by the AFL. Eddie is only concerned about Collingwood and not the long term viability of the league. The salary cap concessions had...

    Well done Mark Williams

    The first ex Brisbane player to coach a premiership team. He has shown you can be emotive and still be successful. Port were simply too good today. When does the Wizard Cup start??

    Bradshaw steps up

    Bagged him earlier in the year so I've got to sing his praises this week. He was the difference between losing and winning. Sure hands and a reliable kick,something we had trouble finding elsewhere tonight. At least we are through to that last Saturday in September. GO LIONS!

    The AFL has sold its soul to the devil

    Having one prel final on Friday night and one Saturday night just to please a television station is compromising the competition. I guess it doesn't seem so bad to them because any Victorian based team who might win next week would be home in their own beds by Saturday night. The whole finals...

    It's not about justice

    Seems the AFL didn't get the result they wanted from the tribunual and now will sack everybody involved. They didn't want Brown's charge downgraded to wrestling because that wouldn't have involved a suspension. If we win the prel final I just hope nobody gets reported!

    I thought around the neck was a free kick?

    Since when has it been a reportable offence? Fair dinkum if Brown gets suspended they should pop skirts on all the players and rename it netball. It's finals football, it's supposed to be a physical game. I'm disgusted!

    Doesn't look good for Browny

    I usually like to be optomistic but I don't like Bowny's chances of getting off at the tribunal. His actions in making contact with Grant looked reckless. Hell some players we have had go up this year should never have been reported and still got rubbed out. I think he is looking at a minimum of...

    Concrete Oval

    So the curator has quit because Voss and Aker dared to criticise the surface. Somebody new will have to sweep up the sand and paint the cement green. In any organisation it seems the man at the bottom must take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Wouldn't be a design fault would it?

    What A Game!

    Great game of football,a draw was probably a fair result. Thought Leigh took a little too long to move Leppa forward and he must be starting to lose patience with Bradshaw. It's about time he started to live up to the promise he has shown earlier in his career. Voss was brilliant as...

    Nine Pointers

    It appears from last night's game that the umpires are the ones most likely to score nine pointers.If they give a fifty metre penalty to a player just outside the 50 metre line,that player gets to shoot from a position where he virtually can't miss. Result 9 points. Some of those 50 meter...

    New Public Holiday In Qld

    A new public holiday should be put on the calender in Qld. To celebrate the day Mr and Mrs Voss packed the kids in the car and moved to Brisbane. I'm not saying the Captain won the game single handed but he seemed to be everywhere in that last quarter. GO YOU GOOD THING!!!!!!!!
