To quote Billy Bean 'there are the haves the have nots...50 feet of crap and then us'. For years I've thought surely the AFL wont let that happen. We have been plundered for years by other teams in the league and left to fend for ourself in market that is saturated by established other codes...

One of the things I least like seeing in a game of AFL is the staging for a free kick, I know this has been a often talked about topic for years but it seems like this year that there are more and more players taking a dive. So I thought I would so some research into what the rules actually...

For me this is the spot in our back line that is screaming for someone to step up and make their own. For the Lions this spot will take on extra importance in the upcoming years as we will be carrying a number of players in the back six who have average disposal skills (Sauce & McKeever) (not a...

The club, and Voss, has been widely criticised for its handling of the 2009 draft/off-season. Whilst it is barely a year and half after the draft, I thought it was worth a brief review and look at the games played to date: Player Drafted Callum Bartlett (0) Ryan Harwood (7) Jesse O'Brien...

Ive been going through the players who would be consdered our midfield, ive tried to break them into four rough groups (Elite, Good, Maybe's and unknowns) i know people will argue about which players belong in which group, and i havent been scientifc about it apart from applying the OOMA theory...

With our current logjam of young talented Ruckmen, im curious to see what peoples opinions are on trading one of these guys for possibly a top 5 pick in this years draft. Ive used Wood because at his age and the fact that he had an NAB rising star nomination that he would have the highest...

Being the evergreen optimist that I am (a noteable prerequisite for any footy fan). With the (hopeful) inclusions this week of:- Charman Lappin Drummond (i said i was evergreen) Looking at the list who played last week i am finding it hard to find outs. The list i came up with...

There has been a bit of discsussion recently in respect to the best forward and backline structure. The major talking points have been:- 1. Is Bradshaw a better forward than backman. 2. Is a forward line that consists of Brown, Bradshaw and Clark/Charman not mobile enough. My persoanl...

A lot has been made in recent weeks about the continous travel that our squad has had to make. I was thinking last night, apart from the short term disruption, that the travel will have caused for the team, could this travel actually help?? Here's my thinking:- 1. Being on the road with...

Would a forward line that consitsts of Brown, Bradshaw and Charman work? I have been very impressed with Charman up forward this presesaon, he really is very athletic and has had multiple opponents on him the whole time (often 3 of them). I dont think that there are many defenders that can...

This is a bit of a bio that I put together on Wayde during my lunch breaks at work. I hope that all the info is correct, if not oops. Draft Details (Borrowed (ie ripped off) from Footy Draft) Details: Club: Southport DOB: 29 August 1987 Hgt: 196cm Wgt: 88kg Position: Centre Half Back...

In the period leading up to the trade week frenzy, there appeared to be a number of players on the list who wanted to get traded, after everything settled down, they resigned with teh club for one year. This is priamrily the case with Moody but a few others aswell ie MgGrath (if he resigns)...
