    The AFL's financial hamstringing

    There is no great place to post this, but this seems to be our only current thread on our financial situation. Anyway, did anyone else see the following article in The Age the other day? It is particularly about Gold Coast's financial woes and the AFL's response - but it mentions the Lions as...

    Fitzroy Captains

    On the Lions forum I just posted some info on Lions/Bears/Fitzroy captains that have finished their careers at other clubs. In terms of Fitzroy's 100 seasons in the VLF / AFL this is what I found. - the list of Fitzroy captains can be found via Wikipedia...

    Why Lions fans have had enough (From 5/5/2015 Non NSW and QLD club supporters will be carded)

    I thought I would post some interesting stats I looked up the other day on the great AFL Tables website. http://afltables.com/afl/teams/brisbanel/allgames.html I know I am not alone in being utterly sick of the Lions having shit starts to the year. In fact, the Lions season has basically been...

    Fitzroy's 100 season in the VFL / AFL - interesting stats

    After getting the idea from the following article ( http://footygeek.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1932&Itemid=83 ), I decided to use it as the basis to work out how many times clubs just missed the finals over the first 100 VFL / AFL seasons (from 1897 to 1996): Anyway, it...

    Fitzroy's logos, nicknames, etc.

    I thought I would start a new thread on the Fitzroy board with something I just posted on the Lions board in response to another poster as I thought the info is pretty interesting and other Roys fans might be able to share anything they have come across on Fitzroy's logos, nicknames, etc...

    MCG statues - Fitzroy connection

    Yesterday Neil Harvey was the latest sportsmen to have a statue of him unveiled at the MCG. Reading about him and his brothers being born / living in Fitzroy I remembered that my Dad had once said he had played briefly for Fitzroy Football Club. His Wikipedia entry mentions that as well but...

    News Brisbane to return to original lion.

    For those that didn't see the news, after a vote at the Lions AGM, the Fitzroy Lion / Triple Premiership Lion is coming back to the Brisbane Lions jumpers - although the change won't be made until 2015 (because all of the jumper merchandise had already been order a couple of months ago for...

    Complete list of Fitzroy coaches

    I thought people might be interested in this article that was posted on the Lions website. It contains a complete list of coaches in the Club's combined history (Fitzroy, Bears and Lions), so obviously it includes a complete list of all of the coaches of Fitzroy while we were in the VFL / AFL...

    Fitzroy-Brisbane Lions Historical Society

    The Fitzroy-Brisbane Lions Historical Society came about as a result of the Merger in 1996. It has been going since that time but it hasn't ever really had an online presence or been widely promoted outside of the people that have become Historical Society members / attended its functions...

    Analysis Inexperience watch

    After being convertered about the impact of the Lions inexperience over the course of the year, I have been watching it closely most weeks. The more inexperienced kids we play in a match compared to the opposition the less likely we are to be competitive. Obviously this is not the only...

    A History of Fitzroy and Brisbane Lions premierships

    Just providing the following link in case anyone on here is interested. What I thought people might particularly like is that the Lions seemed to have put together links with half a page of information on each of Fitzroy's premiership victories...

    Round 11, 1992 - Fitzroy vs. Collingwood at PP

    I just finished watching the last quarter of this game again. It stands out as one of my favourite Fitzroy games of all time. I remember I was sick that day, but there was nothing that would stop me seeing the Roys against the old enemy. We killed them for the first three quarters, but...

    Fitzroy's Last Dance - the 1986 Finals Series

    I am sure there have been threads discussing the 1986 Finals Series before, but the following article was such a good read I thought it deserved a new thread. It was originally in the AFL Record apparently, and is now on the AFL website...

    The AFL's Special Distribution Fund / financial equalisation

    Today's Herald-Sun coverage about Port's situation had an interesting table setting out how much the AFL gave various clubs as a Special Distribution in 2010 (over and above the base everyone gets). For 2010 it was the following: Western Bulldogs $1.7m North $1.4m Port $1.3m Melbourne $1m...

    Our Forward Line without Brown

    This week we were a lot better in our forward structure compared to the abysmal display the week before. However, it was obvious that we still have major problems in this area while we are playing without the big fella. Here is the forward line setup that I would like to see most of the...

    Sick of being uncompetitive in our Melbourne games

    Many of us have said it many times before, but it is really getting beyond a joke. The lack of competitiveness the Lions are showing in most of their outings in Melbourne / Victoria in recent times is galling to say the least. Of course their not doing it on purpose, but the longer it goes...

    2010 AGM - the Key Questions for the future of the Brisbane Lions

    I thought I would start another thread in order to promote our Club's 2010 AGM (and the live Webcast), and to encourage people to post the key questions that they would like answered (which I will do myself below). For those (2010 or 2011) full members that can make it, the 2010 Lions AGM is...

    News Fletcher's Player by Player Perspective (Combined thread)

    I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't see it anywhere. On the AFL website they have a brief player by player 2010 assessment by Adrian Fletcher. It is a pretty interesting read. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104132/default.aspx I agree with...

    Clearance Watch

    Winning the clearances has been one of our biggest problems for a while now. For years we have basically lived off Simon Black in this area, but if we are going to win a premiership we will need others to step up significantly. Round 1 Lions 114 vs. West Coast 82 (at the GABBA) - Lions 32...

    What should Lions members (who oppose the new logo & jumpers) do now? An EGM???

    I asked for and got approval before starting this poll/thread. This thread is not meant to be a place to debate the new logo/jumpers. If you like them or would rather leave the decision up to the Club then you have every right to hold that opinion. However, I ask that you not vote in the poll...

    The Lions AGM - video-link to Melbourne

    A year ago I asked Michael Bowers to look into having a video-link to the Club's AGM at a Melbourne venue (e.g. The Manningham Club or the Fitzroy Bowling Club). This would allow Melbourne-based members to (virtually) attend and participate in the AGM without having to fly to Brisbane, and it is...

    The possibility of an agreement between the Lions and Fitzroy

    Having read the merger agreement, I think Fitzroy Football Club would clearly win a legal case against the Brisbane Lions in relation to the new logo. I also think there is a strong possibility that a legal win could also go as far as to mean an injunction on the use of the new logo on...

    The Jumper, the Constitution, the Vibe...

    I am planning on writing a letter to the Club opposing any changes to our jumpers, but also flagging the possibility of calling a (extraordinary) General Meeting / or putting a member's resolution at the AGM to a vote in relation to this issue. Hopefully the Club comes to its senses before any...

    Our Key Problem Areas

    Brisbane Lions supporters couldn’t really have asked for more than what the Lions achieved in 2009: making the finals for the first time in 5 years, a fantastic win in the elimination final that was one of the best in the Club’s history, and finishing 6th overall. We have a heap of good young...
