He’s the sort of guy you just want to see make it so badly, but there have been quite a few red flag performances this year where he just gets worked over by opponents to the point of ever-increasing non-competitiveness as the game goes on. He just had to try and semi-neutralise Nank tonight...

The Brisbane Lions are excited to announce the signing of fast and agile Irishman, James Madden. The Dubliner will join the Lions after signing a two-year contract as a Category B Rookie for the 2019 and 2020 AFL season. The Irishman broke the all-time AFL Draft Combine 20 metre sprint record...

HUUUUUGE NEWS. WitherDONE Promising half-back Alex Witherden has delighted Brisbane Lions members and supporters by extending his playing contract with the Club until the end of 2020. The Lions have recently celebrated many emerging players extending their contracts, and Witherden was...

http://www.lions.com.au/news/2017-06-22/aflx-set-for-september The AFL is planning to launch its version of cricket’s Twenty20, with a series of matches involving non-finalists in September this year. Under the proposal, the Saturday after round 23 - when the top eight teams are given the bye...

Moderator note: this thread is for discussion of posts in the Ask Lions_Insider thread. This just happens to be the first post moved. Yeah, I can't abide the stock music tracks used in the videos... they add nothing and diminish the experience if anything.

Sunday 4:05 PM Brisbane time. Congrats to those named in the first ever Brisbane Lions women's team. Best of luck ladies! Extended bench as it is a Sunday game. Two players to miss from the named squad. Let the team selection arguments begin! ;)

To be announced tomorrow. Was the clear front runner from the start... held off reportedly impressive pitches from John Barker and Brett Montgomery. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-03/brisbane-lions-appoint-chris-fagan-as-senior-coach Great resume. Time for some professionalism in the...

Stringer dropped to the VFL. That should drop his cockiness from a 10 to a 9.

Unbelievable... In the recording, McGuire appears to quip about drowning Wilson, a Fairfax Media journalist. "In fact I reckon we should start the campaign for a one-person slide next year. Caroline Wilson. And I'll put in ten grand straight away, make it twenty. And if she stays under...

Congratulations to the club and everyone involved in our successful application for a license to field a foundation team in the women's league starting next year. Will be a great journey to follow from the beginning. This thread might be a good catch-all for discussion to begin with.

Now that women's league licenses have been officially awarded, can we please get a women's team prefix?

"Sauce squad" being milked for all its worth and more. Let it die already.

I know some posters including Quigley can't countenance the idea of a contract extension at this point but I am personally very happy with this. With our first half of the fixture, the bloodsport for Leppa would be on for young and old in the media which is just a shitload of negativity our...

Thought this might deserve its own thread and might generate some footy discussion to give everyone a break from trade and draft prognostications. Part 1. Part 2. I will edit the thread with each part as they are uploaded.

Brisbane Lions welcome the Lamberts http://www.lions.com.au/news/2015-09-07/lions-welcome-lamberts Craig Lambert will return to the Brisbane Lions as Strategy and Retention Manager, alongside wife Melissa who will work as Player Welfare Manager. Lambert played 96 of his 219 senior games for...

Stole this thread concept of a videogame forum. Some absolutely fascinating reading below. Feel free to add your own links. Some creepy and potentially NSFW stuff ahead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_Plague_of_1518 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion...

Big loss this year, as we were repeatedly warned. 3.5 million dollars (approx 1 million trading loss if you exclude depreciation and interest costs). Will leave it to the accounting boffins to dissect. Full report here.

Yes, this year it seems we actually get to vote for a board member. What a novel idea! AGM is scheduled for December 17th. The nomination deadline for candidates is November 1st, but as of today we know of two members who have officially declared their candidacy. Christopher Raleigh -...

It's time.

Lions land Christensen http://www.lions.com.au/news/2014-10-13/lions-land-christensen The Brisbane Lions today lodged the paperwork for a trade that will see former Geelong premiership player Allen Christensen join the Club. The Lions acquired the talented 23-year-old midfielder in return...

Apologies for shaky cam. Thoughts? Sounds like this is the latest horse he is going to flog to death. I would have thought bringing in exciting talent and putting bums on seats in Brisbane would be one of the best immediate measures to build our brand and improve our overall bottom line. Isn't...

It's seemingly a one off at least, normally they are on the ball. Someone just must have completely got their wires crossed in the planning meeting. Michael O'Brien Catering cost themselves so much money last night it ain't funny.

Adcock being hideously underrated and underappreciated as usual. Not sure what he has done to live in the blindspot of so many Lions supporters. Going to be a few surprised people on B&F night I suspect.

Within the next month according to Sam Lane and Patrick Smith. Edit: Caro reporting it now too... http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/greg-swann-to-stand-down-as-carlton-ceo-20140528-393il.html Obviously rockets him into firm favouritism to take the Brisbane Lions CEO role. Will be great for...

How good is it to see another Merrett in that horrendously magnificent piece of 80s awesomeness? Will be wearing my one to the game with pride. Bombers rightfully firm favourites. Hopefully we can play more like the 95-96 Bears than the ones that donned this jumper or it could be very ugly indeed.

I am depressed enough about my own club and have no energy left to get upset on behalf of another club or the game itself. I am just treating the Viney situation as a source of circuslike amusement watching Melbourne supporters and the media get up in arms about it. Where was the outrage for...

Thought he was pretty remiss to point out that it is actually 10 percent less for members. 142 is still steep though.

I am biased obviously but James Aish could be hard to beat this week. 25 possessions at 76% (12 contested), 8 marks, 4 clearances, 4 tackles and a goal. 144 Champion data points in a winning team. Looked very impressive and comfortable at the level even without looking at the stats sheet...

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/02/11/sir-david-attenborough-enough-with-the-creationists-and-climate-change-deniers.html The character assassination by the usual suspects will begin in earnest no doubt, but it will be a hard graft with a man of Sir David's caliber. Highlights...

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/afl/afl-news/justin-leppitsch-to-coach-brisbane-lions-20130924-2uba6.html Caro doesn't report this sort of stuff without good confirmation. Welcome back Leppa. Wasn't even in the picture originally but dazzled the selection panel and came from the clouds...
