    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...

    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...

    2002

    OK, Welcome to 2002 - I can hardly wait for the Lions to play Essendon, in fact I am disappointed that there are 14 other teams to play as well. I could do with 22 rnds of Lions v Bombers. Heaping crap on Bombers supporters gave me a whole new perspective on life. So the incredibly...

    Mobile forwards to negate Richmond defence

    Watching the inept Carlton throw away a prelim appearance against a spirited & disclipined Richmond one thing that struck me was that Carlton were spectacularly unimaginative in dealing with the triple teaming against their leading forwards. IMO the Lions will be expecting more of the same &...

    Who to replace Lynch for Prelim?

    OK so who is to be all you coaches & selectors out there? I really dont think it will matter who we play, we will flog either Richmond or Carlton. Do you leave the structure the way it is with a replacement sitting in the goal square & Bradshaw leading out or do you go for something...

    AFL to ban pain killing injections? - NEVER

    Following the hysteria surrounding the Lions & their sensible method of rehydration logic dictates that pain killing injections given to many players before & during every game are to be also banned as they too are administered in an unhygenic environment. They are bad news for the kiddies as...

    Long Way To The Top ABC TV

    I have really enjoyed this show & last night was great with the Saints & Nick Cave & Go Betweens etc. I am still amazed as anyone that a band like The Saints could emerge from the opressive & stifling culture of Brisbane in the 70's. I found a quote about them that was the current view in...

    1st days play

    Due to my daughters restless night I elected to take advantage of watching most of the 1st days play. Australia were very nervous or something early on. I think the pressure of expectation must be getting to them more than anyone admits. Dizzy will be the bowler of the series along with...

    Who sits @ the Western end Gabba?

    The last few games I have been sitting at the Western end of the Gabba just behind the Cheer Squad. Who else sits around there? Who's on the cheer squad from bigfooty?

    Can anyone enlighted me why

    Ben Graham (very large) was marking Des Headland (medium large) while Brown (very large) was being marked by various opponents (medium large) kicking goal after goal after goal after goal after goal & then whoops perhaps Brown needs a bigger opponent. Not that it made much difference anyway...

    Highs & lows

    Highs 2 members of the Geelong cheersquad taking off their Geelong jumpers after the game & sheepishly singing the Lions song. have to set GFE onto you guys! J. Brown & his well documented exploits. D. White & his amazing leaping marks. How does he do it?! Luke Powers forays in the...

    Mr Brown

    I was lucky enough to be at the Eastern end of the Gabba where I could see close up some of his fine work on the weekend. After a lot of angst about how our team is travelling & why it was a real pleasure to be able to just get out there & enjoy the footy. How good will he be? Dunno, but...

    long bombs from 50

    Now analysing the Freo game is a deadend & thankless task - yes they won, but they were almost useless for 3/4 of the game. However one thing that stuck out in the final 15 mins or however long it took to score a zillion goals was that there were a few on the run from 50 type goals. Although...

    There was the performance from the No 1 that gave me hope he could play big league footy after all.

    adjectives used to describe our team

    useless, soft, whimps, over confident, big headed, lazy, incompetent, overrated. All used by "objective" observers in the media - so how does it make you feel? Bloody awful mate.

    Forwards need to fire

    Apparently the Lions had almost equal posession the ball with the Dogs. OK, so what did they do with it - nothing! It's time Mr Bradshaw & Mr Lynch to start kicking some goals - no more excuses. In Bradshaws case he better start by getting possessions!!!!!!!! otherwise he will be on the trade...

    Traitors? OUCH!

    He seems to be forgetting players are traded off like stocks & shares by the clubs as well - anyone remember Matthew Clark? see the full text at http://www.afl.com.au/news/story_221564.htm BRISBANE'S coup in re-signing several big names, including Luke Power, served to revive Leigh...

    Players are not morons

    There has been an interesting debate on this site & rivals.net on the role of the coach. IMO people attribute way to much to a coach. I agree that ultimately a coach is responsible as in practical terms you cannot sack a whole team of poor performers but it's easy to sack a coach. There is a...

    New Lions sponsor deal

    The Lions today revealed a new sponsorship with European car giant Skoda. A Lions spokesperson admitted that there was considerable pressure by Skoda brought to bear over the AFL & therefore the Lions association with VW via the ball sponsorship. "Obviously we are reluctant to see any Lions...

    Shock Matthews sacking

    The Brisbane Lions today announced that due to shocking losses so far this season that Matthews will be replaced as coach by the Lions social club. A spokesperson said today that they are confident that the members can do the job & turn the clubs fortunes around. "The more they drink the more...

    have we gone mad?

    anyone would think we are mad to be discussing all the coaching ability of Matthews after 1 bad loss in a practice game. if anything he will get jack of the players & walk away if they dont start performing in the next 2 years. we are not the Richmond Football Club!

    footy form guides

    The kiss of death has been performed by both the Murdoch & Fairfax press with almost all tipsters & various "experts" putting the Lions into 2nd spot this year. Also interesting to note that Lions have the 3rd youngest team age average in the AFL. Those bedazzles by Hawthorn youth & good looks...

    Port Vs Lions

    hey it may only be the Ansett Cup GF but surely we should start hurling insults at each other? After all whoever wins this will be remembered for...let's see approx 4 hrs. Anyway may the better team win, that team is naturally the LIONS!!

    home ground & PR?

    Instead of complaining about the Hawks game not being at the Gabba, the Lions should have publicly embraced the chance to play in front of their Melbourne supporters. The way they did it was almost an afterthought, complain first & then say oh well at least the southern cousins get to see...
