    Analysis Season 2025 - Statistics and Analytics Thread

    Saw this yesterday From what I've seen so far, we'll be rolling with a similar M.O this season, at least until or unless we get feedback from the rest of the comp that we need to change.

    Preview Round 23 - Collingwood v Brisbane @ The MCG (Saturday 4:35pm AEST)

    Match Of The Round this weekend comes to the new glamour timeslot of 4:35 Saturday, for the Grand Final rematch between Collingwood and Brisbane. Our second meeting this year, Collingwood have won the last 2 against us after we mopped the floor with them SIX (count em, SIX) times in a row dating...

    Preview Round 22 - Brisbane v Greater Western Sydney @ The Gabba (Saturday 1:45pm AEST)

    In the time honoured tradition of those who would rather beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, I've decided to prepare the preview for Saturday. As it did 3 weeks ago, Match Of The Round comes to the Gabba, this time in the Saturday 1:45 timeslot, for I reckon the first time since Round...

    Preview Round 19 - Brisbane v Sydney @ The Gabba (Sunday 1:10pm AEST)

    Match Of The Round comes to the Gabba, and it comes to the Sunday 1:10 timeslot for the first time in, well, forever probably. Two of the form teams in the comp - with a win the Swans tighten their already vice-like grip on the minor premiership, while the Lions will in all likelihood need to...

    Analysis Season 2024 - Statistics and Analytics Thread

    Posted this last year, but updated now for our 2024 list. We've actually got younger! Aided mainly I guess by the departures of Rich, Gunston and Adams. Last year we had the 3rd oldest list (behind Geelong and the Bulldogs)... this year we are down to 4th (behind Collingwood, Geelong and...

    Preview Round 4: Geelong vs Brisbane, Fri 8th April, 7:50pm AEST @ Geelong Motor Home Builders Association Stadium

    Don't know about anyone else but I've had an eye on this one since the draw first came out last year! I don't think any of us will forget the absolute shambolic final 30 seconds of the game down at sleepy hollow last year. The "handball" happened right in front of us in the Lions supporters bay...

    I was wrong too

    Back in May I succumbed to the lure of trolldom, and had a bit of a crack at Mark Williams over his (lack of) success at Port Adelaide. I posted a somewhat childish poll asking who would be coaching the Power next year. It's here. Anyway I just wanted to get that off my pathetic little chest...

    Too many polls?

    Do we have too many polls on this board at the moment? Currently we have - - Richo or Mercuri - Robbie Copeland Fan Club - Has F1 consolidated the number 2 ruck position? - Should we get Richo? - Most improved Lion! - Which Lions player who made their debut this year had the best debut...

    Who will be coaching Port Power next year?

    I think it's pretty obvious to all now that this will definitely be Choco's last season. I initially thought this while I was watching the Power v Collingwood game a few weeks ago and I was thinking that Port really were playing pretty poorly. A win is a win but sheesh. Then they lost to...

    Round 5 votes v Hawthorn

    I know it was a pretty ordinary game but we should still give votes I reckon. I wasn't at the game but anyway... Actually gave Peter Everitt the 3 votes on another site! I just couldn't bring myself to give JB 3 on the strength of his 1 goal 5... 3 votes - Jonathan Brown 2 votes - Jamie...

    St Kilda...

    I remember remarking to friends after the Round 9 loss to Adelaide in 2001, out of absolute frustration and just being fed up with the way they were playing, that the only team who could beat Brisbane, was Brisbane. The problem was that it was an all too regular occurrence. Luckily my timing...

    "Worst human being I've ever known"

    Surprised this hasn't already rated a mention here already today. No doubt it is getting coverage on the main site, where all the trolls are having their two cents worth and probably more. Hence why I am avoiding them. I was really disappointed with his attitude. Not so much what he said - he...

    Business Innovation

    Hey folks. I am a 4th year student at the Uni of Tas and part of my assessment this term is to "Prepare a written business plan of about 2,500 words in length to establish an innovative business venture or apply ICT (Information Communications Technology) to an existing business with the view of...

    Is it just an exhibition?

    To me, cricket is the ultimate game of risk v return. Batsmen take risks, and they invariably score quicker, but they are also more likely to get out. Bowlers who take risks are more likely to get people out, but they're also more likely to go for a few runs in the process. One day cricket being...

    Thanks...

    I just wanna say a big THANKYOU for all your supporters who have been over on our Brissy board with words of congratulations and support ever since the Lions knocked your mob out a couple of weeks ago. I know it was Collingwood after all but I dunno - if my side had won back to back flags I...

    Who will play on Hall (and O'Loughlin)?

    These two blokes have really carved Brisbane up this season. In Round 20 Hall beat his opponent(s) all day and the Lions were lucky he didn't start kicking straight til late in the first half. O'Loughlin mightn't play but even then who plays on Bazza? Michael is too slow for him on the lead...

    Gee I'll bet Paul Roos is quivering in his boots after seeing that tonight... :rolleyes:

    Most significant matches not involving Brisbane

    Here's something that has crossed my mind. As we all know the Collingwood v Essendon game tonight is pretty important for Brisbane, and it made me think back to other games that Brisbane have depended on a fair bit which has eventually determined the outcome of their season. I thought of 3 -...

    Friday night qualifying final at the MCG???

    Worst case scenario - Collingwood beats Essendon, Brisbane beat the Bulldogs Collingwood 2nd, Brisbane 3rd - Qualifiying Final at the MCG But when will it be??? It won't be on the Sunday because that will be the Port Adelaide game, if Adelaide aren't playing them they will be playing on...

    The Numbers Game

    Apologies if anyone has already started a similar thread but I just had a quick scan and couldn't find one. Well, certainly not one that's started since the end of the round this arvo. This is just a guide for the people rocking up to the games on the weekend or watching at home as to what...

    Flu shots!

    First I think Essendon got it when they went over to Adelaide, then Adelaide got it coming back from Perth, then Dessy Headland got it, who of course lives in Perth. St Kilda had it today allegedly, THEY PLAYED THE BULLDOGS WHO PLAY BRISBANE NEXT WEEK CAN YOU SEE WHAT I AM GETTING AT??? So...

    Not impressed

    I dunno. I guess a win's a win but I was pretty much right on the money last week when I said that the performance against Sydney wouldn't be enough to sting them into action. You know, I actually thought tonight if they were fair dinkum they might have come out and actually had a red hot go for...

    Round 21 Votes

    3 votes - Daniel Bradshaw - Maybe he still can play at both ends of the ground after all... 14 marks and 6 goals. Great display from they key marking forward on the night. 2 votes - Justin Leppitsch - You wouldn't know he'd missed a month of footy. A damaging game off half back - 21...

    What is going to happen?

    There are a number of crunch games left in the season, not just the ones involving Brisbane, and with a fairly healthy number still involving two sides within the top 5, there is still a chance they could knock each other over and help Brisbane into a top 4 spot, or maybe, if they're extra extra...
