    Top 50 lists and new footy game

    Comparing Robert Walls and Mike Sheahan's lists reminded me of a game I used to play with my little brother, where we'd each have five minutes to list as many players as we could think of in the order of most valuable to least valuable. We'd then run down the two lists at the same, giving each...

    Essendon want Austin Jones??

    According to the news tonight. Surely this is just a rumour started by Jones' management? Essendon haven't got where they are now by recruiting lower mid range hacks from struggling clubs. Barnes was good for a year, but look at him now. You'd think they'd learnt their lesson.

    Maybe the start of a great rivalry...

    Watching the Bomber reaction, particularly from Hird, after the game, I get the feeling that the Bombers are going to be back better than ever next year, and maybe they'll recapture some of that 2000 hunger. If they do, then Brisbane will have to lift another level to beat them. With young...

    Essendon v Brisbane- Who'll win and why?

    As a Brisbane fan, there is no way I'm going to be objective about this. Brisbane will win by four goals because they will run harder than the Bombers all day, and their key defenders will shut down Matthew Lloyd. Keating will murder Alessio in the ruck, and the Lions will get twice as many...

    Test

    Posted by Asgardian on the Brisbane board: bring it on come get some more pain and humiliation Maybe I'm overreacting, but I don't think this is really necessary given the goodwill on this board from the Brisbane fans. [This message has been edited by Tom FC (edited 25 March 2001).]

    Vale season 2001

    We are gathered to mourn the passing of the Brisbane Lions' 2001 season, who died just before birth. Okay, not exactly. One bad loss doesn't cancel out all the good things from the game against Hawthorn. But to lose so badly, against a team with most of it's tall players out injured, is...

    Top 50

    Ahead of the eagerly anticipated (ha ha) top 50's of Mike Sheahan and Robert Walls, I thought I'd beat them to the punch and make a top 50 of my own, just to see how hard it was, and if I get the crap bagged out of me. 1. Nathan Buckley 2. Anthony Koutoufides 3. Michael Voss 4. Wayne Carey 5...

    Australian Footy Game

    Picked the list of players out of the Oz today. Is anyone else going to enter a team?

    What a great win!

    Just came back from Colonial Stadium, and am still stoked about the great result! Honestly, I thought we were gone halfway through the last quarter. Even though we were only a couple of goals down, the Hawks had all the momentum. Great to see Lappin playing as well, Keating back to his best...

    Best on ground against Carlton?

    My opinion: 1. Martin Pike 2. Luke Power 3. Michael Voss Any thoughts?

    Keating v McDonald

    Matthews has apparently said that McDonald is the side's number one ruckman and that Keating will have to work very hard to displace him. Does anyone have any opinions on this? Personally, I believe that even though Beau had a good season, if Keating could reclaim a fraction of his 99 form, he...

    Ladder predictions

    Taking all the ladder predictions from the '2001 ladder' topic, I found the overall predicted position for every club by every Bigfooty poster. There were 29 ladders posted, I eliminated the highest two and lowest two predictions for each club, and got the following results. 1. Essendon...

    Luke Power

    This is the first in what I hope will be a series of topics on Lions' players and their roles in 2001. In 2000, many player took on new rules, with varying success. Darryl White and Chris Johnson's moves to defence were a big positive, while Adam Heuskes didn't fare so well in the forwardline...

    Australia 2 Scotland 0

    Goals to Emerton and Zdrilic. Lazaridis and Emerton best players. [This message has been edited by Tom FC (edited 16 November 2000).]

    St.Kilda

    Probably a lot of people theorised on this before I joined the board, but I noticed in the '2001' ladders post that there seems to be a consensus that St.Kilda will do very well this year, well enough to make the finals for most people, well enough to make the top four for some. I really can't...

    If any Lions fans haven't voted on the AFL board, do it now!

    We're only two votes behind the Pies!

    Most OVERrated player at your club, or any other

    This will be a little harder. Brisbane: Probably Alistair Lynch. He kicked 66 goals, but I don't think he took that many contested marks, and he dropped a few sitters, as well as missing some gimmes. Still good on the lead though. This title would have been taken by Jarrod Molloy, but he was...

    Jumper Numbers

    Maybe it's a bit pedantic, but does anyone have an opinion on Des Headland being given the number one jumper? That is usually kept for experienced, proven players, which Headland is not. Surely someone like Kennedy, White or even McDonald would have been a better choice. Or a leading player...

    Early injuries

    Preparation for 2001 could have started better. Craig McRae and Michael Martin are both having operations which will make them miss out on the entire pre-season, but probably not any home and away games. But when we think of Brisbane players with injuries who will supposedly return at the...

    Biggest improvers in 2001

    Who will be our biggest improvers in 2001? We've got about half-a-dozen up and comers who are on the verge of breaking into the top team, and are about where Simon Black and Luke Power were a couple of years ago. Does anyone have any opinions on which ones will make the grade? Potential...
