This will be a tricky one. Payne was awful, but he has well & truly got enough credits in the bank for another go. Think it would be a mistake to drop him. So I'll keep it simple & go...
In: McKenna, Dev
Out: Kiddy, Lohmann
We've got a couple of weeks to build towards this, but assuming that Zork is out, I'm thinking...
In: T Berry, Ah Chee
Out: Zorko, Robinson
I'd be curious to see whether we'd consider Lohmann though if he was fit. We did seem to want to get him straight into the senior team earlier in the...
I think Prior will probably struggle to hold his spot from tonight, with Mitch coming back in for him.
Not sure we’ll make any other changes though, especially without knowing how the VFL scratch match went.
Fullarton in for Payne is the only other possibility I think.
Just announced that Birch has retired. He had some detractors over his two years at the club, but at his best did form a pretty deadly half-back pairing with Rich.
Birchall makes big call on playing future
We've got 5 players in the All-Australian Squad of 40: Daniel Rich, Dayne Zorko, Hugh McCluggage, Jarryd Lyons, and Charlie Cameron:
Five Lions Named in All Australian Squad
One of the big changes could be...
Out: Perth trip
In: alternative location
...depending on what happens with this Covid situation over the coming days. But just from an on-field PoV though, I'd go:
Out: Lester
In: Gardiner
And leave it at that. Rough on Lester, but I think we have selected...
Seeing as we look likely to be discussing this for a long time, I thought it deserved its own thread.
News so far:
International Olympic Committee announces Brisbane as preferred host for 2032 Summer Olympic Games
The Gabba poised to be $1 billion Olympic centrepiece
Details have come out today re: 2021 Membership.
Few noticeable points:
1. Pricing seems to be the same as do entitlements - the worry from the survey earlier in the year was unfounded in the end. Don't really see any changes there at all.
2. No more membership cards and lanyards...
Footy Classified saying that next year's fixture looks set to be this year's fixture again.
I think it's probably a good and fair result overall - although it will be interesting if one team has a dramatic rise this season from the bottom to win the flag, yet then go into next season with a...
I've just come across this on Twitter, seems as though it's been published this week.
The Death of Fitzroy Football Club is an oral history, outlining the reasons why Fitzroy FC, one of the founding clubs of the VFL in 1896, lost its way and eventually was merged with the Brisbane Bears. The...
I hate myself for starting this thread in February, but Jake Niall's written a very interesting piece that felt like a good place for this year's conversation to start.
Why Brisbane is a better fit for Joe Daniher than the Swans
Naturally I'm hoping we won't need the assistance with the...
Heading into the back half of the season, no doubt this conversation is going to pick up shortly. Trying as hard as possible to remove my Brisbane bias, I really do believe there is an overwhelmingly strong case for a start of first round priority pick this year. These are the two main reasons...
This may become a discussion point in the coming weeks/months, so worth a thread I think:
Brisbane Lions to consider asking AFL for priority draft pick to rebuild their threadbare list
After not being able to be around much for some time now, I've made the decision to step down from moderating this board which will take effect shortly.
I haven't been a very active poster for some time now and as time has gone on have struggled to stay across the latest threads and posts, as...
Seems the first coaching move has been made for 2015 here:

Nothing certain, but you'd assume that would mean Woewodin is probably on his way out. Contested...
