    Totally agree, he is a McCarthy, Ah Chee, even a Charlie type replacement if he could just go hunting in defence. It seems to me some players just read the game better, no I'm an attacker, whoops we lost it now I'm a defender - they call them 2 way runners I guess. I just wonder if you can learn...

    Unofficial Preview Preliminary Final: Lions v Pies - 5.15 Saturday 20 September

    Watching the footy shows and listening to players and ex-players the Preliminary Finals are the hardest game of the season and the hardest games to win. When the going gets tough I'm hanging my hat on 1 thing, the Lions are a closer group and more united that the Pies. They have a few...

    The essence of what they were saying is true, although the may have done a Jacinta Price. Please dont just try to ridicule them and see the point. The Lions need to "feel" like a Queensland team to be embraced. On TV rating each year the NRL State of origin rates 1, 2, and 3 nationally in most...

    Not at all, your right in that the Melbourne cup is just a one off event, but you have to look at how many times a rugby League event appears in the top 100 shows, games and even panel discussions pre-and post games. It's a big TV sport across country NSW and Qld and people from those states...

    I'm also a Queenslander and a Lions tragic but I always know where the Broncos are and who won the state of origin. I play a lot of golf so meet quite a few people out there on the course for 4 hours chit-chatting, Rugby League is by far the preferred game in Qld but some have AFL knowledge now...

    This year we have seen some pretty fantastic offers getting tossed around. Some players will more than double their income, others with substantial increases over 20%. In business and sport there are always opportunities offered, money verse benefits, medical verse future and so on. There are...

    When Hodgy came to the Lions we had a team ready to compete in finals and Fagan wanted some infield leadership in the tight situations. The Eagles are so horribly far away from finals, a long long way away. Lachie would be a signing to lift show what professionalism is, he is know for hard...

    your right Starc was. But Starc is a free agent, off he goes. Ridley I understand it contracted, if he wants out he has to be traded. We may get a very low level compensation pick, with Allen coming in that compensation would be pretty much nothing. I saw a suggestion a future second round pick...

    I dont know anything about him other than he is a defender that is apparently elite by foot. Is he a Doedee type in style and injury history as in lots of missed games? A back flanker type that would replace Starc or Darcy Gardiner? Presume we have to trade and we pretty much have nothing to...

    I watched someone talk on the Eagles proposal, kinda made sense. They are suggesting that giving the Eagles a priority pick somewhere further compromises an already compromised draft and it might just get a hearing as the AFL don't want to further stir the pot on the draft. If they get Starc...

    McIvor is right in that the money is relative. However community attitudes have change around 'work' careers and loyalty. Outside of footy for example the Boomers generally had 1 career in their life, starting at the bottom and working their way up. The Millennials and Gen Z'rs have many more...

    Very minor but thats just you. In the U18s he was selected as a back but did get swung forward against Tasmania, he was recruited on his flexibility, my point is still valid players can develop and move.

    Both Hipwood and Harris Andrews changed ends once drafted. Merrit was another going from forward to back in our history.

    What ever show Jimmy Bartel is on it was interesting hearing him talk about salaries of players and how players on the highest salaries are now paid on 'potential' and the great players in our game with say 10 years at the top are much less. Might be true. The bit I found interesting was him...

    Well, I heard it explained on one of the footy shows this week how Draper became a free agent, not restricted but free so Essendon cant match an offer and he is free to leave. Apparently Draper is not in their top 10 paid players so after 7 years he is free to go. Seemed like they knew all...

    Yep Collingwood didn't complain when Buckley left the Bears after 1 year and they didn't complain when Aish left the Lions after 2 years. Richmond didn't complain when the took Lynch from the suns and neither did Melbourne when they too May from the Suns. Shoes are on the other feet now and the...

    Ty Gallop to do the pre-season with the backs. I just made that up but I could see him doing a swap with his chase and pressure and play similar to Payne. Harris Andrews was a forward, Hipwood was a back in juniors Merritt came to us as a forward and made the change. If Allen and Draper come Ty...

    Marc Murphy - funny how that name never comes up anymore when people talk Father/Son advantages. He turned down father/son to Brisbane and was drafted at pick 1 to Carlton because he wanted to play for a big club and stay in Melbourne. It hasn't always benefited the club the father played for.

    I think he most definitely told the Eagles he was "exercising his right to explore restricted agency or free agency what ever they call it", I think the media have added "to the Lions" which is the worst kept secret anyway. I think he may have done the right thing but which ever, he had to tell...

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

    Annable is a pure inside midfielder from his time the VFL, plays nowhere else and doesn't look like a player suited to the wing or up forward anymore than Lachie does. Annable is really something, he will push others out of the midfield rotation from day 1, I'm very bullish on him, he has the...

    That was funny, I reckon Lynchy did his hammy in the warm up and knew he wasn't going to play any part so tried to take Wakelin out with him. Only issue was that Lynchy couldn't connect with the haymakers he was throwing so limped off, game over.

    The benefit of the Father/Son rule is simple, here is my son and daughter (in orange) at their first AFL player signing session after a game. As a recently divorced dad way back then I purchased them annual memberships and it became our thing to go to every game. They were too young then to...

    Yep, 2004 was a horror. I was there and the pain is still real the only thing that made it a bit better was seeing Port the next year cop an all time flogging. I think 2004 was the year they found 22 empty vials of pain killer in the dressing room and Lappin played with a fibreglass mould over...
