Imagine that Fitzroy had come up with a design similar to the Paddlepop Lion jumper back when its nickname was "The Gorillas". It may well have been Yo-Go Gorilla: So, the question begs; Who would win a fight between Yo-Go Gorilla and Paddlepop Lion? Discuss.

I reckon we have improved our spread of goal-kickers and our accuracy on goal over the last month (which is suppose has been a culmination of effort over the year to date). I think that this is a key area in which we've needed to improve in order to make the most of our opportunities and put...

I reckon that is our best win since our wins against the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood, back in 2010. If we think back, WB really had our number at that time (and probably still do), but we managed to win fairly convincingly (unfortunately it all went pear-shaped from then on!). Likewise, we...

Does anyone know if there is somewhere on the internet where the Northern Knights 2012 squad is listed? When I checked recently on their website, this had not been updated.

Watching St.Kilda over the last month or so, it begs the question for me: How come the Lions did not draft Milera or Saad, given our lack of fast, well-skilled, goal-kicking small forwards? Yet, St.Kilda pull two of them in the same draft. Did we not rate them? Or did we rate other...

We've had the Brownshaw the Brownola. Now, stealing the idea from the poms, we have "BROWNSAUCE"! "Pass me the Brownsauce, please!"

I find it annoying when commentators and fans apply terminology to AFL that implies some sort of higher knowledge or level of understanding or analysis of the game, when in reality, many of these people don't understand the term that they are using (as evidenced by how they use the term or their...

Does anyone know why K.Murray is listed as a "notorious prisoner" on the Wikipedia page for Pentridge Prison? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentridge_Prison#Notorious_prisoners

Kudos to those Essendon supporters amongst you who gave a warm reception to K.Murray today during his lap of honour. Considering there were not many people at the ground at that stage of the afternoon (and that Lions fans are generally going to be outnumbered), it was good to see both Lions and...

Did anyone hear his interview with D.Russell and G.Healy? Apparently he was going to have a few words to say about M.Voss. Would have been interested to hear what he said (but I forgot to put the radio on once I got home). Best of luck during the season, by the way. I enjoy watching the...

I'm very happy with the win against Port, but really pretty annoyed by the reports from the game. Clark, I reckon, is sure to go for 1-2 weeks. With Brennan coming back, we can probably make do, but it really reduces our ruck strength coming up against a top line opponent. It also means that...

Do you go with Plan A: Pick as many premium players a possible and fill the rest of the team up mainly with rookie-priced players under 150k OR Do you go with Plan B: Pick fewer premium and rookie-priced players and try to target more player in the mid-priced bracket who have greater job...

What are the thoughts regarding cheap forwards this year? T.Rockliff appears to be a no-brainer and J.Podsiadly would seem to be a solid bargain-basement choice (surely he will be elevated?!). I'm also tending towards picking G.Rohan as well. However, what about the likes of...

Rich, Redden, Rockliff. You heard it here first. We've had "The Fab Four" and "Brownshaw". But now, you can forget any other taglines or name combinations. It's all about "The Three R's". I reckon Rich, Redden and Rockliff will become the next great combination of Lions players over the...

Who have been the biggest signings of these three clubs over the years? I'm talking about top players who have been brought in from other clubs and have been regarded as big signings at the time. Fitzroy B.Quinlan J.Hogg Bears S.McIvor R.Merrett W.Capper A.Lynch C.Lambert Lions...

For those who are still up in arms about the trading of L.Henderson, perhaps think back to two years ago, when he was first drafted. I remember a lot of people on forums like this being up in arms at the time, over the fact that we'd drafted yet ANOTHER key position player with our first pick in...

Surely Milne's attempt on goal in the second quarter has to rank up there pretty highly. :thumbsu:

I reckon J.Brown is one of the worst in our team at putting in second efforts. The fact that we have not had consistently performing small forwards is compounded by the fact that we have two key forwards who are not great at putting on the defensive pressure required to have a great forward...

Which Fitzroy players were playing at other AFL clubs post 1996? This could include players who had left prior to 1996. Out of those Fitzroy players who played AFL post 1996, who do you think had the best careers (post 1996)? I reckon C.Johnson, A.Lynch, M.Pike and M.Primus would have to...

Players don't need to still be at the club. Don't need to have been elevated permanently onto the senior list. Adelaide - Brisbane Lions - Carlton - Collingwood - Essendon - Fremantle - Geelong - Hawthorn - Kangaroos - Melbourne - Port Adelaide - Richmond - St.Kilda -...

What current players have been taken as mature-age recruits by their club? Here's the criteria: Was drafted onto the club's senior or rookie list after having played senior football elsewhere Is not the result of a trade Was drafted through either the ND, PSD or RD Has played at least one...

Who do you think will be faring well in the B&F at the half-way mark? I think Brown might have put in enough good performances over the course of the season to be in front. He hasn't been great every week, but his best this season has probably been as good as anyone else's in the team, and...

Has to be elevated, in my opinion. Even if he doesn't play straight away, we need to have him available and working towards senior selection. God forbid anything happen to M.Clark....

I'm wondering if Voss needs to re-think his take on using Clark in the ruck. Various comments this season appear to suggest that the club sees him mainly as a key position player, and that Clark will only be used in the ruck when we have injuries (which has mainly been my view over the years as...

What do people here like reading? Here are some of my favourite books: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson) The Rum Diary (Hunter S. Thompson) The Pearl (John Steinbeck) A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess) To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) The Turning (Tim Winton)...

Does anyone here cut loose verbally at the football? Do you say things that you normally would not say in the company of others (apart from maybe your closest of mates)? I've got to admit to having let a few lines go over the last few years - perhaps it's got something to do with supporting...

Have you ever seen more beautiful episode of "The Muppet Show" than that, boys?

Sure to be rife amongst Essendon fans this Saturday night . . . Hopefully he kicks a bag. ;)

For this week's Lions/Essendon game, apparently. I went to reserve my seats tonight and that was all that was available (technically it's not really restricted view, as it is a section around from the scoreboard on the wing side, and you can still see all the action). Could be a new...

Needs to learn how to play a proper position, so that he can eventually become a key player in the team. Although many have speculated that he may be an effective "loose-man" type of player, in my opinion, the players who play that role best are those who know the game well from having...
