    List Mgmt. 2019 Draft/Trade/FA Thread - Final Wrap

    Fantastic news for you guys. The Saints have been utterly deplorable with their attitude and public comments, of it was in reverse there would be widespread condemnation. Let's hope gubby can wreck their salary cap in time to get max to the suns. It's not much time but if anyone can do it it's him

    List Mgmt. 2019 Draft/Trade/FA Thread - Final Wrap

    I'd probably add to that the fact that we were pretty confident that Mitch Wallis was coming to brisbane as a FA right up until he re-signed with Bulldogs which forced a late scramble for someone to fill that role. Could have contributed to the last minute nature of what happened with Lyons.

    List Mgmt. 2019 Draft/Trade/FA Thread - Final Wrap

    I think the last few years have shown the Lions are pretty prepared to pay fair rates for players with more of a focus on getting a trade done and the players they target to the club rather than worrying about perceived value. I mean you only have to look at the Cameron trade to see that. We...

    Roast Chris Fagan: 'Gold Coasters aren't interested in footy'

    Would have been more accurate if he had said QLD as a whole rather than focusing on Gold Coast as the example. Heck its still true about brisbane, when you're winning there seems to be people everywhere talking about footy but when you're not it can be a ghost town. I seriously doubt that...

    Opinion Vent & Offtopic

    they probably should have had a better think about it and realised that the lions only have one preseason game in Brisbane and thats all the way up at burpengary, which pretty much meant anyone on the southside was definitely going to choose this game to come to for their pre season fix. There...

    News PeopleFirst (Bank) Stadium and Precinct

    Stadiums QLD are replacing all of the screens in major stadiums across qld with brand new high def ones so I'd imagine that you'll get one of them post comm games. One has already been done at the gabba and is a massive improvement with the other to be completed by the time the ashes come around.

    Autopsy Gold Coast Suns vs Brisbane Lions Rd 21 @ The Gabba

    I'd be a bit careful trying to rock up and get general admission access at the gabba tbh. It notorious for "selling out" despite there being free seats all over the place in GA.

    I can only hope that O'Meara becomes your version of FIGJAM (but without the finals appearances). Hawthorn is a strange choice IMO, the're prime movers are all at the end of their tether and their second tier just aren't tested in those heavy lifting roles, they're bit players and support...

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency

    Yeah you'd want to be damn sure they wouldn't use it for him. I'm unsure whether i'd want to do it if the roles were reversed either. I can see the merit but it goes a bit against ingrained draft history really. Having said that I tend to think that we're unlikely to see he number 1 pick...

    List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/Free Agency

    Morning all. Few musings going around about whether you guys would be interested in a trade centering around our first round pick for your two first round picks (an possibly other picks moving around). On the surface what will probably look like pick 2 for pick 4 and 8 seems to be massively...

    Preview Rd 4. Lions vs. SUNS @ Gabba

    There always overreaction by posters on every board ours is no different. Lions posters on here should be reminded this isn't your board, if you want a fight take it to the public domain. Yes as mods we do watch the opposition board after the game so be polite or don't post at all. As for the...

    Preview Rd 4. Lions vs. SUNS @ Gabba

    I don't see us bringing in another tall TBH given the less than glowing reports out of our reserves bar Hammelman, and he's still a bit too raw. Must admit I forgot about KK, he should be able to fill that role on Bell/Lester for that mid sized HFF size wise I would say. We could see McStay go...

    Preview Rd 4. Lions vs. SUNS @ Gabba

    I'd imagine it stems from the fact you've lost a 200cm defender and McKenzie, hence the thought combined with little knowledge of what you have in your reserves. I've been paying a bit more attention to your Schade and Leslie since we lost Clarke, given i'd imagine we'd be looking for a fringe...

    I'd like to thank The Academy

    Afternoon guys. Quick question, did you guys ever confirm that Brad Scheer was eligible to be selected by the suns next year given he moved to the GC in 2012? of course given the 5 year rule he wouldn't qualify on time but I'm guessing if he moved at the start of the year he would have played...

    Preview Rd 6. Gold Coast v Adelaide. Metricon, Sat 5:10pm

    Interesting that in the case of Lewis's they graded it as careless as well, not intentional which you and I can agree on was utter crap. No way Lewis's wasn't intentional in which case he should have gone straight to the tribunal as well. Thoroughly agree that the two incidents should have...

    Preview Rd 6. Gold Coast v Adelaide. Metricon, Sat 5:10pm

    Hodge got referred straight to the tribunal apparently. May doesn't have any existing bad record. It was classed as careless contact, high impact and high contact which is 3 games. Early plea gets him two. AFL put it out clearly that any contact to the head while giving a bump this season...

    2nds 2015 NEAFL discussions

    1) Games would still be on the weekend, when they are broadcasting AFL so they're not going to be looking to fill broadcast time. Now you could say that they could broadcast them during the week but in reality most people would most likely rather watch replays of AFL games they didn't catch...

    Is our success at the Lions expence?

    minus 2008 of course. Actually our drafting since then hasn't been too bad. Retention on the other hand.... In reality every team has paid some sort of price for the Suns and GWS to come into the comp to varying degrees. It was inevitable that it would happen with expansion, the afl couldn't...

    I'm just going of what I've seen on the few times I've been there, may not be representative of what happens all the time, especially when the crowd is a small one. I'll be able to see first hand how its going this week as I haven't been since last pre-season. May also be worse for pre-season...

    Preview Rd 3 - GC SUNS v Brisbane

    Really? You're going to have a pot at me for highlighting one of the myriad of issues that causes people to decide no when weighing up whether to go down the coast to see the game? Its one part of a list of trade-offs that people will make when deciding and certainly doesn't add any pro's to...

    Preview Rd 3 - GC SUNS v Brisbane

    It certainly is a fairly key game for both teams, not only in terms of this season but also the balance of power. So far, bar the first game our bigger bodies have seen us get over the line, but that's pretty much over now and I see it pretty level pegging now. We've both got lots of young...

    Comparing Gold Coasts concessions to the 2004/5 drafts

    is it just me or is there something wrong with the options that they have chosen above - eg they have taken the 2005 draft picks plus 12 17 year olds from the 2004 draft. That isn't correct. GC would have access to a range of lower age players from the 2005 draft not the 2004 draft therefore...

    Gold Coast Suns 2010 AFL National Draft Discussion

    Personally I think Horlin-Smith will be well gone by then, the very latest he lasts will be 32 with the lions pick but may go earlier. Would have thought you would look at another key defender with one of the earlier picks given you've already got a pretty good midfield there.

    Is a 25,000 capacity stadium enough?

    AFL in melb is quite cheap really compared to QLD not sure if it can be used as a guide but for the lions the cheapest season tickets (not membership) that you can get is as follows Adult - $300 Full concession - $230 Family - $660 add another $40 for membership to the first two and another...

    2011 Reserves?

    not happening until 2012 but definitely happening. One would have to think QAFL next season especially with the Western Magpies bowing out from the comp. GC would be a straight swap in. Will be interesting whether they inforce the same rule as the lions have which is no more than 16...

    Gold Coast's draft rules explained

    Sure GC are going to be a force in 3-4 years but equally they will also have some pretty big salary cap pressures by that stage even with the extra cash. All of those young guns will be coming off contract and demanding fairly significant upgrades to their contracts by that stage. Clubs...
