    Some interesting decisions coming up

    Headland has also been recently quoted as saying that staying with the Lions offers a better chance of playing in a premiership or at least finals. So who knows what he really thinks? Whatever the case it is worth releasing lesser players to keep him. To aviod a post 2001 decline the...

    Did anyone see.........

    Danni - but how did you have the motivation to watch that game again???

    Gabba Crowds.......

    Soooooo - thats why I am at the MCG or Colonial the very learned Victorians call out "good call umpire" & "well that was not really a tackle - he didnt have time to release" & "oh dash it all - it was touched 1mm before the goal line" How condescending you are!

    Gabba Crowds.......

    You are kidding??? Have you not been to a game anywhere else? One eyed supporters of all persuasions only see what they want to see.

    Gabba Crowds.......

    Danni, I have sat in all different parts of the Gabba for years & never seen anything other than the usual drunken fighting & occasionaly heated exchange. I suppose the opposition cheersquad are bigger targets than anyone else & thus it's no suprise that there is some potential for...

    Ah well...

    let them believe that we were at our best. suits us to have them preening themselves - getting all mushy dreaming about the premiership. mabye the bleating about the untouchables & how it's sooo unfair that the Lions are that good will stop now.

    One a happier note...

    I have been talking about the game on the weekend & my daughter is convinced she is going to play. Having trouble explaining how you just watch. Perhaps she should try out for the Sainters!

    Leigh's looking shaky

    If Leigh is looking wobbley I would recommend getting your TV tuned or mabye you just have bad reception.

    Would a last gasp win papered over the problems?

    No panic button pushing intended. Yes the Collies played well, however there were several unforced defensive errors that resulted in goals. There is also a fitness/confidence problem with White & Brown 2 of our players that need to be 100% if we are to take it up to the top sides & come...

    Would a last gasp win papered over the problems?

    Perhaps if Craig McRae had taken the time to stand up & kick the ball over the defender & therby winning the game in the dying minutes then all the bad things that happened during that game would have been forgotten. Despite the great efforts by Voss, McRae, Lappin, Power (how was that...

    One a happier note...

    I am taking my 3 year old daughter to her first game vs Freo this Sunday. She knows the Lions song, has a poster of Vossey on her wall & has a good grasp of what constitutes poor umpiring. Dont know how much of the game she or I will actually watch, but thats not the point, as long as she...

    Could the Pie take the Lions?

    Sorry, but 1 good win makes for points & a weeks worth of good press. Nothing more. Yes, it was impressive - but the fact is that you have to do this for the entire season & then throughout each final & the GF. The Lions lost because they didnt play 4 good 1/4's. Woods did. Reproducing...

    Thoughts on Riewoldt?

    Amazingly enough............

    Danni, I feel the same way about getting the 1st loss out of the way, except I am unsure about the "disinterested" approach of the players. I would have actually been happier with them playing well, loss or win. I hope this is not the beginning of a form slump, as there were some pretty...

    Concessions for Brisbane & Sydney

    A high profile example of a Queenslander who went to another sport over footy is Darren Lockyer, the Broncos & Australian Rugby League player. Apparently he was a good Aussie Rules player & but decided to stick with League when he left school, worse luck! There will always be multi...

    greed greed greed

    It's all falling apart - did the clubs & the AFL think that the overpriced agreement with Ch9 would come without a price? Now our Eddie as president of the Collingwood Footy club is in a bind. Unable to really speak out on behalf of his club with regards to lack of coverage in non...

    Essendon or Brisbane - whose better

    My Essendon loving out laws are predicting the Bombers to win based on the silly idea that their win over Richmond was better than the Lions over Hawthorn. Pointless really, but it gives us something to argue about I suppose. I am going to the game with the rellies & the tension is already...

    Heading to the Gabba for round 3?

    Get your seats in the western or eastern terrace - that way you will be surrounded by Essendon supporters, which was last year, a most enjoyable experience. The combat off the paddock was as intense as on.

    Essendon or Brisbane - whose better

    Defence = even Midfield = Lions ahead Attack = Essendon ahead I think it's no secret you have to keep the ball away from the Essendon forward line unless we want to get pasted. Likewise I suppose the Essendon supporters would be worried about the Lions midfielders running over the...

    Next 2 games are crucial for the Lions

    I was impressed by the win against Sydney. It was not a bliztkrieg game like some of those of 2001 which were over in the 1st 1/4, but a hard fought win against a good side. If the skills & fitness were not setting the world on fire, the application & grunt sure were present. Matthews...

    Hey!!!!

    It's a footy ritual, sitting down & opening the record to collective groans & swearing when the 3 umpires are revealed in their pretty little B & W photos. Must remember to take some sharp pins & use them at critical moments.

    afls most hated list.

    Anyone who has an opinion different from mine. I hate it when I think they might have a point of view that conflict with my cosy little world view.

    Which team is the biggest threat of stopping us going Back to Back this year?

    Remember how St Kilda were going to win a premiership last year on the back of Blight Hammil & co? Well surely it's gotta be Sydney this year! Never mind they dont have a mid field or a defence Plugga & Bazza will win them a flag off their own BOOTS!

    In the paper today.....Carey to Lions in 2003.

    He will be linked with every club in the AFL before the season is out. Each story will claim to have legs but will all fall in a heap.

    Collingwood to dump Buckley as skipper

    hey Magpie Miracle - Bucks is a great player, but Vossy is the best captain in the AFL.
