    Opinion Bris- The curse of the Afl sponsored Ferrari?

    What you have said is one of the most insanely pointless posts I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent original post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and...

    Nakia Cockatoo will be the best player in the AFL in 5 years time

    I watched Nakia when he came to the Lions at VFL level and the little bit he played at AFL level. It seemed to take him quite an effort to simply get on the field, then to stay on the field for any run of games, then to build some form before the next setback. When he did find some form a few...

    Brownlow Brownlow 2023 LIVE Now - Congrats Lachie Neale!

    Quite a few people on here acting like Neale personally snuck in and stole the votes off Bont, Gulden or Daicos. He was clearly as surprised as many other people. Anyone talking about any of these players being unworthy of recognition just doesn’t know football. The system is the issue. The...

    How the AFL lost the battle for Sydney

    There are two Queenslands. South East Queensland is not true heartland in the traditional sense these days. Rugby League is still bigger in the public consciousness but not to the extent it once was. AFL is very widely accepted. The rest of Queensland is very much rugby league heartland but SE...

    How the AFL lost the battle for Sydney

    People think in such short terms and black and white outcomes with these things. There doesn’t have to be only winners and only losers, just growth over time. Rugby League will not weaken in its prime markets. What can happen over time is the whole market grows and AFL builds within its...

    Players you just 'like'

    From what I have witnessed Zac Bailey is a genuinely down to earth bloke. Will have a chat with people, an NT kid who doesn’t have pretensions. Just likes playing footy in a positive way.

    Does an AFL magic round have merit?

    Magic Round is an under 12s footy carnival played by grown men. It makes no sense in a professional Australian sporting environment other than as a novelty idea to generate some desperately needed attention. From memory it originally germinated as an idea in the NRL for exactly that reason -...

    Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

    I want Port to start wearing the prison stripes in every warm-up just to wind Eddie up. Every training session - prison stripes. Every interview, prison stripes. Everywhere Eddie goes there should be a single Port fan there in the prison stripes, saying nothing but just staring at him creepily...

    Gillon McLachlans dinner date tonight with the 18 AFL Coaches

    It will be a buffet. Stewy Dew will take most of the potato salad so Chris Scott will whinge for five minutes about that. Clarko will then complain about Scott complaining. Buckley will be sulking about something and just picking at his food. Richardson will be asking everyone who will listen if...

    Analysis How strong would sides be if they retained all draftees?

    So true. Rich would probably get a start before Henderson I would think on his current form. Second or third in metres gained in the whole comp. And there would be a dozen on our current list who would get a start before Aish.

    Non-Influencial 'Gun' Players

    I doubt that Port fans actually have buyer’s remorse taking Rockliff because he is doing exactly what he has always done. I would also doubt if they thought they were getting an absolute gun. None of this can be coming as a surprise. He is and always has been an accumulator who will sometimes...

    Play Nice The 'all things Carlton' mega-thread

    I think pretty much everyone can acknowledge that Cripps is a great player but the commentators fawning over him constantly seemed like a desperate attempt to make this game, and Carlton specifically, relevant and significant. Cripps was one of the best on the field, along with three or four...

    The worst performances ever

    Any Brisbane supporter simply knows this game as the Miracle on Grass. In an long tough era with almost nothing to smile about, that game still brings a smile to our faces.

    Bogey teams: Which clubs does your side struggle against?

    It is more a question of which isn't a bogey team. Or more likely, we are our own bogey team at the moment. Everyone can beat us and usually do. However...not for much longer.

    The AFL need to do something about runners

    Yes, and it happens in Junior footy at the higher levels too. Even good rep players who are confident and aware second guess themselves when a runner is out there. In that one second they have to scan for a target to kick to, seeing a runner out there doesn't help to analyse the situation...

    The AFL need to do something about runners

    Nonsense. Extremely common in NRL. Alfie Langer, the Brisbane Broncos runner spends more time on the field than some of the interchange players. It is a blight on that game too.

    The AFL need to do something about runners

    He definitely did do it at the Gabba. At one stage he was on the field for easily 7 minutes. It was certainly commented on by people around me. He stood stationary in space for two solid minutes at one point. Probably the worst I have seen for some time.

    Runners again being used to interfere with play

    I think the runners should have to actually carry a tray of cool drinks and moist towelettes onto the field (or warm face towels if the game is played in Tassie). Any time they enter the playing arena, they must offer at least three of their players the opportunity to freshen up before exiting...

    Oliver,Powell-Pepper, Hipwood and others.. Discuss the young players here

    Wright doesn't get talked about because he doesn't play for a big Melbourne team. If Darcy Moore farts it's worth a three page spread in the Hun. But I think Wright might eventually be the better player ( not that Moore will be a bad player at all). Wright and Lynch could be a very powerful duo...

    Bob Murphy - 300 games

    I'll be honest and say: Good player with a long solid career and played a key role for his club - he deserves the accolades for playing 300 footy games. He and the club should rightfully acknowledge the moment. Unfortunately the media have hijacked the whole thing. The media's turning it into...

    Bumped Hawthorn - the beginning of the end? Will they make the fnals in 2017?

    We fell off a cliff, then another and another, Homer Simpson style. It was a long long way down. Some of it was self inflicted. We also fell at the worst possible time, as GC and GWS took the prime draft picks for a few years. Only now are we taking the first tentative steps back up, starting...

    Bumped Hawthorn - the beginning of the end? Will they make the fnals in 2017?

    Right now, Hawthorn look disturbingly like Brisbane. It happens to all teams sometime. We could all see it coming, but not this fast.

    Does every club board have a legitimate ITK?

    Just ask anyone who has been on the Lions board for a while about the infamous "horse's mouth" incident and you will know all you need to know about those claiming to be "in the know"! Those genuinely in the know have their quiet, subtle ways of getting info out at the right time in the right...

    Bumped Hawthorn - the beginning of the end? Will they make the fnals in 2017?

    Probably not valid to compare Hawthorn 2017 to Brisbane circa 2005. We had our own unique problems, mostly self inflicted. I think Hawthorn's greatest losses have actually been the draining of coaching talent and footy knowledge and seeing that spread across half a dozen other clubs to be used...

    Tassie Want The Suns

    In terms of footy as a business, it is simply a fact that both GWS and the Suns are decades-long investments for the AFL to be able to have access to a bigger market and grow the game in unsaturated markets. As much as it rubs some people up the wrong way, Gold Coast surviving is probably as...
