    1997 Practice Matches - Lions vs. Saints and Lions vs. Swans

    Hi everyone! Came across this recently and am really struggling to find any details online. Is anyone able to shed some light on the results? From what I have been able to find, the Lions played the Swans in a practice match in Wagga Wagga as well as this game at Merimbula. I'd love to learn...

    Help with identifying these Bears players please!

    Hi! I'm updating / annotating some of my old Michael Voss cards and was wondering if anyone here could please help me identify the two Bears players standing and watching the marking contest? If it helps, the match was Round 7, 1993 against the Hawks at Waverley. Thanks!

    Past Help with identifying past player please

    Hi everyone! I'm spending some time updating my Brisbane collection and was hoping someone here could help me identify the St Kilda player on this Michael Voss sticker from 1995? Thank you!

    Opinion Changing your sponsored player

    Hey gang! Despite the ups and downs of the first year of AFLW player sponsorship this year, I'm thinking of signing up again next season. The big question though - is it considered poor form to switch your sponsored player?

    Preview Round 13, 2017 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    Well…who’d have thought it? Our 2017 rematch against the Power sees us coming in off a 10 goal win and them coming off a 12 goal loss! There are all sorts of stats we could pull out as part of the match preview, but given our poor record against…well, everyone, playing at…well, everywhere...

    AFLW Rising Star

    Hi guys, I'm not across the comp well enough to judge, so I thought I'd ask here who people think is leading the AFLW Rising Star so far? Marinoff?

    GWS TAC side

    Awards?

    Hi everyone! Just thinking - will the AFLW have their own equivalents of awards like the Brownlow, Rising Star, Norm Smith and Coleman?

    Prediction Can we win one (or more) of our remaining games?

    Hey guys and gals! Call me crazy, but with games coming up against the Blues and the Saints, I have a feeling that we might be able to grab another win before season's end. What are your thought?

    Akermanis Brownlow memorabilia

    Hi team! Did anyone buy framed memorabilia from the club when Aker won his Brownlow? I'm keen to track a piece down, but I don't want a 3rd party piece - it has to be AFL / Lions issued. A Google search doesn't yield much so I'm hoping someone here may have a pic they could share?

    Member's Forum

    Hi! Is anyone going to the Melbourne member's forum tomorrow night? I can't make it but I'd love to ask the powers that be what their plan is to fix our clearance / stoppage problems - been an issue for years now and with Simon Black retiring... Is Harwood a possibility? He was the best...

    Steven Salopek

    I'm interested to know what thoughts are about Salopek. A high draft pick with 120 odd games under his belt. I'll admit that I haven't followed him closely of late, but he always seemed like a likely type. At 27, do you think we'd have any use for him? He hasn't put his hat in the ring for the...

    Father / Son question

    Back in 1999 we drafted Shane Morrsion as a father / son pick. As far as I know, we were able to do so because his father, Peter Morrison, played over 100 games in the QAFL. Does that rule still exist or have we now existed for long enough in the AFL that only AFL games count?

    Our clearance 'issue'

    Over the past few seasons, we have been the worst club in the competition for clearance differential - even the Suns were better than us last year in this area - yet at the most recent draft we didn't pick up anyone who can really assist us in this area. In fact, apart from Harwood, I can't...

    Ben Hudson's place in the pecking order

    After yesterday's intra club, I've been intrigued by a couple of comments suggesting that Hudson may be in the mix for Round 1. I guess I hadn't thought too hard about it before, but I'm wondering where we see Hudson sitting in our ruck pecking order? I'm more than happy with him as a...

    Surprise packets!

    Most of us armchair coaches have been pretty good at predicting a player's axing, but I though it might be interesting to talk about the ones we got wrong. The first one that comes to mind for me is Daniel Merrett. After his first few attempts up forward, he'd earned the unfortunate nickname...

    Recent rookie success

    With our new bunch of rookies added in, I thought it might be interesting to get a feel for how our team has done with the rookie list in recent years. My initial feeling was fair to poor, but further investigation reveals what some may label a reasonable amount of success: - 2006 draft -...

    2012 Leadership group

    Mitch Clark's departure potentially means a restructure to our leadership group in 2012. Obviously John Brown will still be captain, and Rog and Jed have proven to be worthy V.Cs. Rockliff really grew this year and it seems that the club was right in identifying him as a leader. I don't...

    Trades in retrospect (good and bad)

    It's always fun at this time to year to look back at the boom and bust trades from yesteryear. I was looking over some more recent trades and was curious what people thought about the Cameron Wood trade now that a couple of years have passed? It's almost a double whammy - we traded Wood to...

    Best #1 for the Brisbane Lions

    Just for fun! I'd have to say I'm leaning towards Champion - let the polling begin!

    Brisbane 2001 - 2004 vs. Geelong 2007 - 2009

    Hi everyone! There'a been a bit of off season discussion among my mates and one topic that has come up is the comparison between our premiership years and Geelong's. My personal view is that 4 Grand Finals in a row for 3 flags places us above 3 Grand Finals in a row for 2 flags. Our...

    Make or Break Season?

    Who's in the gun for 2011? Every year there are a couple of players that need to really step up to hold their spots and for me I reckon they are: Matt Austin: Surprised me by keeping his spot. Needs to find a way to play regular senior footy this year. We have a few blokes who've been...

    Pass mark?

    Just wondering what everyone's views are about the pass mark for different levels of recruits? For example, how many games does a top 10 pick need to play to be deemed a success? What about a pick 68? What about a rookie? My view: * Top 10 pick - definitely 100 games, but preferably 150+ *...

    Best trade ever?

    Surely has to be in 1997: To Sydney: Brent Green, Simon Hawking. From Sydney: Pick 31 (Simon Black).

    Worst trade ever?

    I was having a look back through the club's trading history and came across a trade from 1998 that surely has to be the worst we've ever done: To Geelong: Tristan Lynch, Scott Bamford, Pick 17 (Peter Street) and Pick 24 (David Wojcinski). Pick 24 came to us from Richmond in exchange for Rory...
