    Unofficial Preview Semi Final Saturday 7:35pm vs Gold Coast @ GABBA

    Neale second game back would have been a lot better than playing without him. He still got plenty of it but a lot of disposals were a sign of rustiness. The only benefit is having Levi potentially play his more natural role in the middle which helps team balance. He's done ok on the wing but we...

    Might be low risk high reward at this stage of his career. Just to replace a player of Neales experience and prevent our young mids from having to play too much full time mid. Bailey and Rayner need to keep that balance of forward mid as I think our forward line smalls/ mediums are an issue.

    If Neale does go, Treloar for a year or two anyone?

    Correct, they use a new graft so it would be the standard timeframe.

    Reville in for Neale and Marshall to play full game. Witts killed us last time and Big O and Fort both played.

    Review Qualifying Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    Very soft and not a free kick but you're probably seeing the end result from an accumulation of warnings and things 'off the ball'. I would ask the question as to why the hell you would “lean” on him when he’s 120m from play and your teammate is having a set shot? That’s stupidity. He gave the...

    They were absolutely cherry ripe to beat us tonight. We looked a bit banged up. Their soft draw and health helped.

    Review Round 24, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Hawthorn

    Amon incident was a clear free kick. Mitch Lewis getting an absolute gift in the second quarter also not spoken about. Yet the Amon call cost them the game apparently.

    Unofficial Preview Round 24 2025, Sunday August 24th @Gabba v Hawks.

    Gallop in, keep it simple. He can do a job. Playing smaller may backfire with Sicily and Barrass intercepting at will.

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Good news re: Murray. From the little I have seen he can definitely play and will be picked up by us for sure on talent alone but from others more in the know what is his defence like seeing as he seems to be a half back? Can he defend a Bobby Hill or dangerous medium forward or his he purely a...

    We were interested in Rosas from Gold Coast last year. At 24 could be a could pick up. Wonder if we are in for him again as I’m pretty sure he’s out of contract. In the paper today it says up to 5 clubs interested with Blues, Swans and Tigers named.

    Review Round 22, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

    Both McLachlan and Smith in a forward line where Charlie can't get a kick was very unbalanced. McLachlan is a great mark but that’s about it and I think it contributed to a lack of balance for ground ball gets and pressure. Even Ah Chee play's best as a third tall almost. Their one wood is the...

    Unofficial Preview Round 22, 2025 v Swans @ Gabba, Saturday August 9th 4.15pm

    Keep it simple and play Dev for Neale. He can play a role for a few weeks. Torrent has played well in the midfield for a while in the twos but I would go for more experience at this stage of the year. I thought Reville did a great job in defence on the weekend also.

    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    For Kai's replacement I like the idea of Dev as a pressure forward. Can play him on the dangerous half backs and he would at least make it harder for them to waltz out of our forward line. He has plenty of exposure there at AFL level too. Played that half froward role in late 2023. Someone to...

    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    We probs don't have anyone that can run with him. If anything maybe Marshall coming off the wing because of his fitness levels and has a bit of pace/ agility that Dunkley and Berry lack. He's a lot more dangerous when he receives the second possession at stoppage so should try tap it towards...

    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    Hipwood back could work. I don't think we lose much in attack without him, against the Giants we still generated 31 scoring shots against probably the best back 6 in the game. He has the height and reach and can genuinely free up Andrews or actually play that intercepting role. This week the...

    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    I think we will make limited changes but if we play injured players then we are asking for it. Zorko looked like he couldn't run on the weekend so whilst it may not be a serious issue surely a couple of weeks off is better than just aggravating it. But who knows, if it's an issue that won't go...

    Review Round 20, 2025 - Gold Coast vs Brisbane Lions

    We got a reminder that are shite stinks as much an anyone else. We are only a 2-3 goal better team than most of the top 8/9 sides so if we are off it like that then things can fall away very quickly. It’s so even this year and it’s going to be harder than last year to win it. Our draw has been...

    Game Day Round 20, 2025 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Copping 63 at half time to this forward line in slippery conditions is horrendous and speaks to the lack of genuine effort up the field. Rayner is cracking in hard at clearance. Can’t say the same for many others.

    Having Annable come in is a huge bonus. Can pretty much focus entirely on improving depth in the defence and forward lines. We can look to recruit a tall project player in defence and even a player in their early to mid twenties from state leagues that’s ready to go physically. I don’t think...

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    The academy system is an equalisation measure. That’s it. Don’t care what anyone says but vic clubs are at an advantage because of the proportion of talent available in Victoria, where the GF is located and due to the fact they barely travel. That’s a massive bargaining chip for trading and...

    Draper or O’Brien would be important and would improve us again. If Big O is nearing the end purely from injury/ wear and tear then Fort needs proper help. A development ruck won’t do anything in our premiership window so I’m all for going after free agent AFL level players. Don’t mind if we pay...

    Spot on summation, biggest area they are gettable is stoppage. They have great flanker types/ runners but leave it to Atkins for actual grunt/ inside work. If they don't win it there they rely heavily on scoring from the back half or turnover. Your dot points are pretty much the game and where...

    Preview Breaking the final hoodoo - Geelong v Brisbane Lions (Friday, 20 June 2025, 740pm)

    Inaccurate kicking is frustrating but that was only one issue amongst a few others last week. If we give as much time and space to Humphries, Holmes and Miers as we did to Whitfield, Ash and Callaghan then our defence is going to be in for a long night.
