  1. Comeback Lions

    Unofficial Preview Changes v Crows round 7 @Gabba.

    Hard to play both Fort and ZZ for team balance. It’s one or the other, surely? Yes, fabulous game from Torrent… also 8 marks and 8 tackles and we need more tackling pressure. Would be good to see him get a chance.
  2. Comeback Lions

    Unofficial Preview Changes & discussion, Round 4 v Magpies @Gabba, 6.30pm.

    I wonder if the biggest issue is the 5 day break. Did we win any games off a 5 day break last year? Have any AFL teams won after a 5 day break? How many? Don’t have time to research it, but I’d love to know the answers to those questions. Just did a quick search and going off last year a number...

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Ruck position is changing this year with the change to the centre bounce, the 5 man bench and the quick ball up. Interesting we only have 3, but we have Zane and now Curtain who could play in the ruck if needed and tall forwards like Allen and Gallop who could have a run in the ruck. I think...

    Were on the clock. Good trade to use a future 3rd

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    I think you were using the 2024 points values, it’s changed this year. Pick 28 is worth 505 pts. 42 + 43 = 386. Next years 3rd might be worth 14 points. So they lose over 100 pts in the deal. I can’t see that Carlton have anything to gain, unless there’s a future 2nd on offer as well.

    Great to get Annable at 6.

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Also need part of pick 44 to match it at 6, which will slide back to around 49… then slide forward to somewhere between 41 and 44 when all the picks in the 2nd round are wiped out matching other bids. Also pick 17 more likely to be pick 19 and pick 23 probably 24. Kinda hard to do the maths...

    Yes, 2 live picks after Annable and 2 rookie upgrades, Lester and McKenna.

    Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

    Sheehan lists around 12 rucks/ tall forwards, so there could be plenty of options with a late pick. Be interesting to see who we take.

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

    I think you are right about North and the Suns being more attractive to both teams. Sydney’s 31 and 32 for our 23 would give us a points upgrade, but the Swans would need to really want a player available at 23 who trumps the two players they could get 8 spots later. Looks like 17 and 23 could...

    We have a tradition of champions called Murray. I like the sound of Taj, but let’s get both of them.

    Nah, his sister is the best rebounder in the WNBL. If he can harness half of her aggression and leap, he’ll be a player worth watching. This is very slow… I’m going for a beer very soon…

    Not time on ground, you’d have to be there, but I think he played forward. Can’t remember seeing him at a centre bounce and there were a lot of them… and I think in the other games you mention he mostly ? played as a midfielder.

    Unofficial Preview Semi Final Saturday 7:35pm vs Gold Coast @ GABBA

    I watched the twos and was impressed with Smith’s game. It would be good to give him finals experience and is an upgrade on Day’s game against Geelong. As is Oscar and as others have said there are compelling reasons for playing him, if he is retiring. McKenna should definitely come in for...

    Bruce had 2 chances to win it… streaming through the centre and should have nailed it, then just had to take possession. Kicking for goal cost us today. And what’s with the commentators…. When does a team who “dominates” have less scoring shots and win by 3 points. Not much between the two...

    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    Have to agree with this. Coleman and Doedee not close to playing seniors on current form. Joyce also seems to lack desperation and the defence certainly hadn’t played 4 quarters in the last couple of games. Brain however does play with intensity and is the one closest for mine, along with...

    Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

    Wow, that was some finish. Wanganeen Milera what a star. Marks with 44 secs to go and kicks it, then kicks another goal in the last ten seconds. Melbourne showed how to lose it… get 3 players into the centre square and then don’t man up with the midfielders as they run forward. Couldn’t have...

    I’d give Smith one more week.. but he was probably the most desperate player on the field from what I saw. Played with sustained intensity. Kiddy doesn’t seem to be playing with enough pace. He can still kick well, but the defence got smashed in the first quarter and he (and everyone else)...

    The one I went to in Melbourne cost $5 or $10 this year. Can’t remember exactly. At Hawthorn. Whenever I’ve been to Blacktown against Beer Wine and Spirits I haven’t paid. Depends on the club. Mr Ripper would know.

    Tackling, pressure and fast ball movement has us in front tonight. Great to see Oscar contributing and Rainer’s tackling has been a thing of beauty. Go Lions!

    Game Day Round 19, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    I have a bad feeling about this one and I’m hoping I’m wrong. Have a good feeling about the matches after this one though. We need to start with intensity and not depend on a comeback twice against the Dogs.

    Beecken the best of the medium defenders…. Great intercept and run to set up a goal. Kiddy and Doedee need more game time. Brain was impressive early, but hasn’t had the ball much since.

    Review Round 15, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    Huge improvement in tackling from the whole team, great ball movement and delivery into the forward 50, and great to see us take the game on… a team thing, but Bailey and Rayner were so good to watch tonight. That should be the model of how to play for the rest of the season.
