Congrats Clugga! Also how good is the bit in bold...speaks about looking at extending his contract and loving it here. Hope to hear some good news on the front soon.
So, another year gone, and we've had one of the most interesting off-seasons in memory. We made the finals, but how much have we actually improved?
One way of determining this is to try and analyse the playing list. This has been done a couple of times in the past on this board I think. Though...
Queensland squad Glen Batticciotto, Ryan Broad, Lee Carseldine, Ben Cutting, Daniel Doran, Chris Hartley, Ryan Harris, James Hopes (Cricket Australia contract), Nick Kruger, Ben Laughlin, Alister McDermott, Greg Moller, Craig Philipson, Nathan Reardon, Nathan Rimmington, Chris Simpson (capt)...

G'day folks. I've got some friends coming up from NSW in mid April, and they're thinking of heading up to Cairns or Townsville for a bit of action on the Great Barrier Reef, but are wondering if it'll be too cold.
I haven't been up there around April. For the locals up north, do you reckon...
I'd first like to say that our board is one of the best if not the best boards on BF. We've got well organised threads, quality posters, few trolls and good discussions most of the time without flaming. Shame about our 2 male moderators though. :p;)
One thing I've noticed in the last few months...
Over the 2007, when we were hot we were hot, but we could be terrible too. I had a look at our avenues to goal in this past season.

Interesting read. Regardless whether it's sound or not, it's good to get some insight to how those inside football clubs go about their thing.
I think the player rating bit is quite good, as a...
Though champion midfielders and other running types are essential ingredients to a successful team, most teams live and die by their KPPs and ruckmen. These tall guys are who you build your team around, and the quality of your rucks and spine will dictate how you go in clearances as well as your...

Lions' new faces show hard edge
THE Brisbane Lions have proved, over the past four rounds, the coaches' old chestnut that luck is what happens when hard work meets opportunity.

Story from http://lions.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=306208.
Could those with knowledge of the running of the club share some insight? Comments?
At the Lions official website, the "kings of the jungle" banner at the top has been replaced by a maroon banner saying "Brisbane Lions". There's 4 players on it, 3 of which I think are Sherman, Hooper and Riska. I can't tell who the 4th one is, but he looks very muscle-ly and has strapping on...
Here's an article on The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20537505-23211,00.html
While it's written by Hammo and another, there are some direct quotes from Bowers, which we can say to be a pretty fair indication as to where we're at for the salary cap.
"We've got...

At the moment we have picks 4 and 22 in the first 2 rounds of this super draft.
With players possibly on the move including Aker, Mal and Moody, there is a chance that we'll gain some early draft picks.
Do you think it'd be better to have another pick at 10-15, or to have 2 more picks in the...
