    Scandal Lachie Whitfield, Gubby Allan investigated for avoiding drug testers

    Good to see you are not carrying any sort of grudge against Brisbane and are not obsessed with them in any way.

    Thanks mate, that is some great information - I was struggling to find anything.

    Stats questions

    Does anyone know (or know where to find out) if the Brisbane Lions created some sort of record with the least amount of quarters won this year? We finished on 17, which seems extraordinarily low - Essendon were the next worse on 25. It doesn't seem like a stat that has typically been kept until...

    Analysis Is Rocky the Right Man for the Job?

    I kind of wonder where this thread will go to next? The doubling down and ramping up of the anti Ricky bloodlust is getting towards fever pitch. I haven't seen anything like it in my 10 years reading this forum. At least there has been some wonderful piss-taking of the unbelievablely...

    Leppa sacked

    Before we go into bashing mode of another former Lions player who may or may not apply for the coaching position, can we just not. Johnny Barker was a great guy and showed heaps of promise at Fitzroy. He was also best mates with Chrissy Johnson. Now I have no idea about whether he can coach or...

    Review Round 23, 2016 - St Kilda vs Brisbane Lions

    I saw it live and thought at the time that Merrett got him pretty good and that he would get a week for it. Still I applauded Merrett for giving it to Savage as it was at a point in time when three other Saints players had just tried to put a block on him to get Riewoldt free.

    Leppa sacked

    When Sharpless was asked about Leigh's opinion / role at the Club, didn't he say something like - I don't know how any of the other directors voted. I took from that he meant it was a secret ballot.

    Leppa sacked

    I think Bob Sharpless just implied it was a secret ballot - which is concerning from a number of aspects (not to mention the leaking).

    Fox Sport are reporting what seems clear - that Leppa has been sacked. (Saying the players were told at 12pm) http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/brisbane-lions-board-meets-to-decide-justin-leppitschs-coaching-future/news-story/fd3b8cc1dc585cdadd55661fd53daa58

    Leigh Matthews calls for only one team in SE Qld.

    Noticed Hammo's latest article takes a strong shot at Leigh again for noting that he thinks QLD will never be AFL heartland. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/brisbane/new-coach-just-the-start-of-cleanout-required-at-brisbane-lions/news-story/656152f2120b2c5238bb5bcfa705e3e3 Really...

    Analysis Is Leppa the Right Man for the Job?

    I don't really believe the secret ballot thing - it was a good line from Hammo though, he definitely knows how to drum up business. Our Constitution doesn't make any provisions for a secret ballot as far as I can tell. And as has been mentioned, some Board members were most likely connected via...

    Good pick up, for some reason I had his birth date listed as 17/01/1986 instead of 17/11/1986 in my spreadsheet (I had to manually re-enter the birth dates from the list data into the right format unfortunately so that mistake has been there since the start of the year. Oh well an extra 10...

    Non-Lions Footy Season, 2016 edition

    Just doing my own unsophisticated calculations of what losing margins would avoid the wooden spoon tomorrow. I was thinking more along the lines of what the Saints might score, rather than what the Lions will score. If the Saints kick 80 points, the Lions need to score 36 points to avoid the...

    What's the Score at St Bedes? Fitzroy v Parkdale

    Bad luck for the Roys - I can't believe they just missed out on finals after playing so well in the second half of the season.

    Analysis Inexperience watch

    In terms of what the average experience of our list might look like next year, early indications are it might be even less experienced than this year. We started the year with 40 players on our list in total with an average games experience of 49.5. This made us clearly the least experienced...

    Analysis Is Leppa the Right Man for the Job?

    People really need to stop reading everything written in these types of articles as gospel. Caroline Wilson wasn't there. She is probably getting information third hand, parts of which may or may not be accurate. Everyone likes to read into these things their preferred narrative. But...

    Yeah that stood out like a sore thumb. So the final figure us was 23,286. At this stage, I would actually be expecting an even bigger drop next year of over 10%, possibly getting down towards the 20k mark. Of course a lot is still to happen between now and this time next season that could...

    Delisted Jed Adcock (2003-2015)

    It's a pity he didn't end up a one club player. Circumstances seemed to conspire to stop it happening. Both parties probably could have done more to come to an agreement at the time. We certainly could have used his experience this year in retrospect, even given he was clearly passed his best...

    Yeah, not sure why you or others are making a big deal out of it. I wasn't there (nor can I see if any other Lion on this forum was) but simply pointing out a 140 point loss seems to reflect a lack of effort from some within the team we put out there - I thought that was self evident by the...

    Obviously we were always pushing s**t uphill with those numbers. But saying that excuses a loss of almost 140 points is another thing. I don't know where the line should have been if there was betting on the game (80 points?), but 140 points is not a pass for the team we had in, which is what I...

    It was actually 8 listed players - maths was obviously not a strong point for Woewodin. Although the Giants did in fact have 18 listed players, so the overarching point is still valid. Although, even in those circumstances, the huge nature of the loss doesn't seem to be explainable based on...

    Academy rule changes

    The Victorian clubs say "jump" and the AFL says "how high?" when it comes to complaints about the northern academies. It is just getting beyond ridiculous. Given Hawthorn and Collingwood's vehement opposition to practical financial equalisation measures, the following section of the article...

    Roast We need to talk about Ryan Lester....

    I think the problem with Lester is the problem with a lot of our list. He is painfully slow at times, but unfortunately he often doesn't always make up for it by excelling in other areas. Most of our list is just so one paced - plodders really - and there is a limit to how many of those you can...

    Lost by 139 points in the end (185 to 46). Looks like we had 8 listed players playing - Billy Evans, Jansen, Dawson, Beasley, West, McGuinness, Archie Smith and Jayden McGrath (who I hope got through the game OK given he only got 5 touches). GWS had some good players in their side - can't be...
