    Analysis The rebuild of Carlton and Brisbane and their future prospects

    Just an FYi on this part, 2018 was Fagan's second year, his first year was 2017

    That was probably my gripe along with Wright as the ruck. Taylor had an excellent year

    Analysis The rebuild of Carlton and Brisbane and their future prospects

    While both teams are pretty evenly poised at the moment, the large unknown is each teams ability to bring in additional talent through trade/free agency once they start to rise up the ladder. In this Carlton have an advantage in the fact that they're based in melbourne, which traditionally...

    22 Under 22 2017

    IMO there's two slightly different sides in there depending whether you're picking the best players in each position or whether you're picking the best team. For instance If you're picking the best team then I think you've got to have Wright in there in the forward line or on the bench. None...

    22 Under 22 2017

    Personally I'd be more than happy to swap our three nominations for their top 4 spot.

    22 Under 22 2017

    You're doing a really good job of making yourself look like a bitter idiot here. I think you need to read posts and not go to a default assumption that every post with Sean Darcy's name in it is bagging him. How you've reached this based off what was actually posted is mind boggling

    Analysis The rebuild of Carlton and Brisbane and their future prospects

    You should try having the best part of 2 whole draft classes walk out on you and then see two of them go on to become likely AA's 3 years later :'(

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    Actually St Kilda have received more in AFL funds the last 3 years running than the Brisbane lions, just so you know

    The AFL need to do something about runners

    In a game that is currently very much about blocking off space in defence and creating space in attack, while having to scan a whole field from the worst possible angle in a second or two, I find it hard to believe that anyone would think that another body occupying space (even in different...

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    Its funny because i could swear there were multiple posts in this thread saying we shouldn't get one because we'll get high picks in compensation for Schache leaving.

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    Yeah this isn't some sort of new thing, nor is there any particularly easy answer. Part of the issue is that unlike melbourne which has loads of small councils, Brisbane is one large council for the whole city, with some smaller outlying councils and the Brisbane City Council has shown on many...

    Nothing, they're the 1 thats no longer there :cool:

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    No we certainly have, as has pretty much almost every club in the comp. My statement was in relation to your above comment and others i've seen convey a similar tone. Now you may not have meant it in the context i took it, but i've seen this sort of argument thrown up a bit and was more of a...

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    We really should go back and retrospectively close down every club who has been struggling on and off the field and technically insolvent and reliant on the AFL/VFL backing or just good will to continue to exist.

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    PP argument aside I find these kinds of posts a bit baffling to be honest when you look at the staff changes that have happened at the lions in recent years. So far the AFL have essentially placed their own selected Board, CEO, Football manager and coach in place over the last few years...

    Up there with you throwing out statements and ignoring any further questions about them.

    Brisbane- Another priority pick this year?

    Just in case you hadn't noticed our CEO, football dept manager and current coach are all AFL appointments in everything bar name. They were pretty much responsible for all of them. Heck even when we were on the verge of a complete board spill the AFL stepped in and orchestrated a compromised...

    Brisbane - Have they picked the right coach?

    It would be borderline I reckon. Guess the major issue with that location is the fact that the whole of the site sits on a brisbane council 1-3 rated flood area (1 being the hardest to build on on a 1-5 scale). Wouldn't be impossible, especially in light of it being proposed as an option but...

    Brisbane - Have they picked the right coach?

    Is there enough room at that site for something like that? I've been to that site and seems a bit tight for room given part of that proposal was that there had to remain an oval for kenmore along with one for the lions/lions AFLW stadium type set up

    Brisbane - Have they picked the right coach?

    Nice try dodging the questions that were asked with another shot, but until you start actually ponying up anything other than throwaway broadstroke criticisms, you'll continue to look like someone who's been wronged by the lions administration/club at some point and has a massive axe to grind...

    Brisbane - Have they picked the right coach?

    Jeff which people are you referring to in all of this. Are you talking about board members? If so which ones? The current CEO? or someone else in the lions admin. Who would you look to replace them with? Can you please expand on this training base doubling as a home of football location that...

    Players under 24 to have a breakout season.

    I find it weird that some people put in first year draftees. A breakout season would tend to imply there's an existing benchmark to measure against, which is distinctly missing when you talk about guys who are yet to even feature at AFL level or even be in the AFL system for more than 6 months

    Players under 24 to have a breakout season.

    Maybe not an out and out star but in Fagan's system and with another year under him I'm backing Tom Cutler to be much more well known by seasons end, as well as Harris Andrews. Hipwood the real Smokey to have a season that gets people taking notice. From other teams, GC swallow is one I think...

    Lions vs Cats vs Hawks - Which dynasty is the best?

    Looking at the makeup of the side what you're actually lacking is a real FF. All 3 of Franklin, Brown and Roughead play their best when able to roam up the ground in that CHF role. Brown i can understand as the sacrificial FF in there though as he's probably the one with the tools to play that...

    Lions vs Cats vs Hawks - Which dynasty is the best?

    Thats a pretty good effort, hard to argue with most of that. I do feel like Chris Johnson is a bit hard done by in not getting a bench spot. Was probably one of if not the best running rebounder in those three sides IMO and just had a knack for finding a seam up the middle of the ground. Maybe...

    Brisbane Lions PP

    I think the bolded is more the AFL drawing out the roadmap in conjunction/for us TBH. If we do get a PP then I would imagine that it was one of the tools they used to convince the people they wanted in place to jump on board, along with increased footy dept money and ability to pay 100% of the...

    If only there was a single lions admin actually doing that but i don't see any of the 4 lions mods in here doing that.

    Huh? I'm not saying keep them. I'm saying members need to be able to elect a board themselves just like they should have last time. It seems like you're framing your questions like i'm of the opinion that nothing needs to change which is deliberately misleading and incorrect. It should have...

    So it would have failed then but is what they should do now because it will work this time? based on what? Honestly you're just becoming a sad parody of yourself now
