    News "State of Origin is back" - Eddie McGuire, March 2025

    VFL/AFL State of Origin was cancelled due to a lack of interest from fans and clubs just did not want their players injured. The end of season prize is the premiership, not who played well for their state before the season even starts. That was before Queensland and New South Wales entered the...

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    Nice post but just on the above point. The rumor is the old GoPrint site opposite The Gabba. The old GoPrint site is above the Cross River Rail new underground Wooloongabba Rail Station for those that don't know the area Unfortunately, we have to wait till the 25th of March to find out the...

    Expansion A third team in Queensland? AFL acknowledges QLD3 as a 20th licence option

    In my opinion Brisbane only needs 1 team for the forceable future. The Gold Coast will slowly get better support so that covers the other Queensland team. That leaves only Sunshine Coast and Ipswich with a reasonable population to maybe support a team. But both better as a recruiting area in my...

    Preview AFL 2025 Opening Round - Lions v Cats (Gabba) POSTPONED

    Lions have a lot of underdone senior players hoping to be ready for opening round in 8 days' time. Lions play the Crows tomorrow evening in a preseason game so need these players to have a decent hit out without injury. I don't think the result will have much bearing on how the Lions back up...

    Keidean Coleman

    Well, he is not going anywhere for another 3 years. News just in on Coleman. https://www.lions.com.au/news/1480345?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=240110+-+Kiddy+and+Ally+joint+re-signing-+20240109_151956&utm_term=Read+more&utm_id=146364&sfmc_id=15238983

    Keidean Coleman

    Starcevich mostly on Hill. Lester on occasions. No doubt Coleman was in the area at times. However, from a spectators and Lions supporters' point of view it looked like no one was on Hill :)
  8. Section 5

    Keidean Coleman

    In the modern game it is mostly team defense that make a good side. However, you will always have a few in the back 6 that are lock down defenders. Most teams have one small and one tall that take that role. Depending on the opposition that may change slightly. Lions use Starcevich as the...

    Keidean Coleman

    Coleman could turn into a very good player, but his fitness level needs to improve. He has a tendency to fade a bit in some games but overall, he is not too bad. Second in the Norm Smith medal voting with 5 votes. Bobby Hill the standout with the maximum of 15 votes. That GF game was one he did...

    Keidean Coleman

    His nickname is Kiddy. Also, the thread title spelling should be Keidean.
  11. Section 5

    If you could draft one opposition player into your team, who would it be?

    I would go Errol Gulden for the Lions His position and type of play is what we need. He had a great year and only 21

    Fixture Full 2024 AFL fixture released. News and leaks.

    Agree that all money the AFL make is important for the health of the sport. It would be a wild guess from anyone to what the net revenue would be from any concert. Apart from the fact sold out concerts at large venues will make good money for all parties. Using you guess figures:- $400 X...

    Fixture Full 2024 AFL fixture released. News and leaks.

    The MCG most likely available. So, we have Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun and then there is the Geelong stadium and that is only in the Melbourne area. I get that Marvel and other stadiums need to book concerts and other activities whenever they can. The world is all about money. You need it to survive...

    Fixture Full 2024 AFL fixture released. News and leaks.

    The AFL own Marvel. If they decided they want to start the fixture earlier they would not book concerts in the future. Although Marvel and the MCG have booked concerts during the season so the ground can be up and going in a short period of time anyhow.

    Fixture Full 2024 AFL fixture released. News and leaks.

    Some grounds will always be available. Ground maintenance would need a two-week turnaround from Cricket to AFL If the AFL pushed the stadiums there would be enough grounds available. Cricket book the stadiums (just a booking fee) and only use what few if any the need. The stadiums should say...

    Fixture Full 2024 AFL fixture released. News and leaks.

    Living in Brisbane i don't get the AFL's thinking around this "round zero' now renamed "opening round". By pure accident they ended up with 1/2 of what would make a difference in the northern states. That being playing a full round 1 the same time as the NRL opening round. Ground availability...

    Expansion National reserves competition in 2025. Are you in favour?

    There is not much money to spread around in the VFL competition. Airfares alone especially for interstate clubs would be huge, maybe the AFL pay something? The link below states some of the present rules that Kochie would be aware of. The players who are on an AFL contract are excluded from...

    Cam Rayner

    Yes he is out for the season so i did not mention him. Sad but Marcus has most likely played his last AFL game.
  21. Section 5

    Cam Rayner

    Rayner at present is playing a 3rd tall defense role not a HB role. Good for his development but there is a good reason for the change. It is because Gardiner, our regular 3rd defense tall, had not had any contract training at that time, (still may not have). Gardiner had off season shoulder...

    In 24 of the last 28 years, a team who missed the finals has finished top-4 the next year. 33 teams in total over 28 years. Who will it be?

    Prediction 2023 Ladder Prediction Thread

    Zorko came into round 1 with an achillies problem so they played him off half back the first 6 rounds From round 7 on he was back into the Fwd/Mid role However, he still carried an achillies issue for the remainder on the year. Also, hammy issues for a few rounds when subbed out Because of these...

    Add Zorko to that list

    Rules Should the stand rule be abolished?

    The rule is fine AFL just need to advise umpires to be less strict in enforcing a 50-meter penalty A half to 3 quarter awkward step, in any direction, should not be punished. If it looks deliberate or a brain fade, then enforce the penalty

    Who will be better in 2023 Richmond or Brisbane?

    In the last 2 seasons McCluggage has spent the majority of his time in the engine room part of the midfield He does spend a little time on the wing as do others.
  30. Section 5

    Who will be better in 2023 Richmond or Brisbane?

    You are correct in regard to where does McKenna play Depends on what was discussed between Conor and the Lions to get his signature over a few other clubs Could very well be wing and would be interesting to see how he goes. I think he mostly played half back for the Bombers We know McKenna...
