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

    In 1981 Aussie Rules was hardly a minor sport in SEQ.All the QAFL Clubs had substantial licenced Clubs. Plenty of VFL players were coaching Clubs including Alex Jesalenko at Sandgate,Mick Nolan at Mayne,Ron Wearmouth at Windsor Zillmere, John Blair at Morningside.Gary Dempsey was playing for...

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

    I think this is the best 22 we can put out there. The game will be won or lost in the midfield and our ability to control one of Rowell and Anderson. We know Davies is going to run a shield for Rowell. If we can negate that we will go a long way to success. I want Oscar to stand deep in the goal...

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

    Lining up with the same midfield structure that got absolutely smashed by the GC last time would be the definition of insanity. Dimma would be ecstatic. They will be focussed on tagging Clugga after the Geelong success. If they put a hard tag on him on a Wing they at least negate one of their...

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

    We need to consider what the Suns did to our Midfield at Carrara. Alex Davies ran protection for Rowell allowing him and Anderson to dominate. I would like Bez to play Centre and Clugga out to the Wing. This would provide some negation of the Davies effect Our Centre Bounces would look like...

    Replace him with Jacob Blight unbelievably delisted by Richmond. The guy has excellent skills and height.

    Annable looked the goods. McFadyen is certainly a draft talent and Shadeau showed he would be a good replacement for Starc if he leaves. He is skillful and courageous. Joyce and McKenna both very good. Joyce has improved his game sense. He's a must keep foe backline depth.

    Unofficial Preview Qualifying Final 2025 v Cats @MCG.

    Ins Neale and Berry Outs. Tunstill and Gallop Sub Reville Gee this was hard. Ty had a good game and provided excellent pressure against the Hawks but I have leaned to Day as the back up Ruck/Forward. Reville also played a great game but he is the perfect fit as Sub because of his...

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

    I don't see him replacing Hippys role perfectly but if Ty has the aerobic capacity he's our best shot. If the MC don't think this is the case I think we forget that specific role for this one and switch to a defensive forward tag on Sicily as the Priority. If we keep him occupied we can negate...

    I was assuming he did not fly to Perth. So it seems he did and if fit and motivated he certainly plays. Love him as a Player.

    Unofficial Preview Round 23, Friday, August 15th 8.20pm AEST @Optus v Dockers.

    Starc has not signed with us so no doubt going elsewhere. It is best to look to the future and move on. He's been a quality player for us but he most likely has his eye on his future contract.Doedee was well underdone last week and would be a bust against a fast Freo line up. Does anyone know if...

    Unofficial Preview Round 23, Friday, August 15th 8.20pm AEST @Optus v Dockers.

    I believe a Team wake up bake has its place but the best advice I received as a new Manager many moons ago was "Praise in public and discipline in private" . I used a variation of this many times in Junior Footy coaching. "Well done Fred. You're attack on the ball and tackling pressure shows...

    Review Round 22, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

    Is Henry Smith the answer? He was underwhelming today. Ruck work was just ok and was a flop as a forward. Slow as a wet week.I note Oscar had 23 disposals in the 2s. Does he come back? Doedee was just not quite there. He will go out for Lester and I feel he should finish in the 2s and just...

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

    Lachie is an extractor and first user. The only other guy on the list who primarily plays that role who has the miles in his legs is Dev. He must come in. I am now thinking Brain for Lester. At least we know what we will get. We can of course go with Doedee as Sub and retain Reville who did an...

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

    Hoping Henry steps up and provides a strong Forward marking option and negates any Pies Ruck dominance. I hope he attacks the game with aggressive intent. I think he could be a very good player if he adds some aggression.

    We need a 200cm KPD urgently. Is there a Melbourne team who would take Starc at a fair price that could get us some draft capital to enable a draftee possibility? It looks like the West Coast option has fizzled.

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

    Injuries are cutting deep but we have some good depth except in the Key talls. I see Day (or Smith) in for Oscar. Marshall full game in for McKenna and McLachlan or Bruce to Sub. Or Levi has a rest at Sub and One of those two get a full game. McLachlan is our best Lohmann replacement. I am...

    Review Round 20, 2025 - Gold Coast vs Brisbane Lions

    Having had a chance to look at the game with the benefit of hindsight the coaching coup by Dimma was the introduction of the big bodied Alex Davies into the centre to protect Rowell. In hindsight our response should have been to put Bezza in the midfield to cut out Davies and or Rowell and move...

    2 hrs down and 2 hrs back in horrible traffic and rain. I feel tired dejected and let down. That is the worst loss in this decade as much as I can remember. We were smashed in the Ruck and midfield. Aside from that we were out enthused.Clugga and Lachie tried their guts out but their midfield...

    Time for Fletcher to move back to a more midfield role. Straight swap for Bailey. Gardiner to stay at halfback.Bruce and Beeken the 2 ins. I'm sticking with Oscar and Fort. I just think we need the height this week. If Oscar is a doubt we bring in Day.

    We have the obvious need for a Ruck KPF replacement. With Allen being injury prone and Draper chasing the big bucks maybe we should look around for another player not being given a chance at their Club. Enter Harry Lemmens at Carlton. 3rd year 201cm and out of contract. He's kicked a bag of 4...

    Time to manage Charlie and Kai. Pointless to play them in the cold at Geelong. 2 weeks of rest and sunshine should be just the tonic they need. Levi is beginning to struggle so a rest looks in order for our young gun. We've got another gun who should prosper along those Kardinnia wings. Let's...

    Congratulations Swannie. He's the guy who got us Fages. He's the guy who negotiated with the State Government to save the Club from 5 years of Olympic wilderness with a Gabba rebuild. I feel his last decision to replace himself will also be a correct and thoughtful one. Well done sir!

    Review Round 12, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

    3 Games in 11 days including a trip to Melbourne and a mighty effort against the Hawks. We were entitled to be a bit weary and it showed. A few lazy defensive efforts and some careless kicking but I'll take the 4 thanks.
