    Review Round 3, 2026 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    IIRC it's only a few short years when many around these pages were strongly suggesting Zorko was well past it. A couple of GF's later!!!

    Preview Round 3, 2026 - St.Kilda vs. Brisbane Lions

    Entirely correct- ripples. However, and given Fagan was spot on, STFU. What benefit can it bring our Club to point out the bleeding obvious. If the Saints want to stuff up their club and any unprotected innocent bystanders, then leave them to themselves.

    If Ugle-Hagen [spelling?] is anywhere near fit I am prepared to lace on the boots again. And I haven't played in a long time. Plus the body language is very, very poor. Very. And there is a big gap between the GC's first and second sides.

    Review Round -1, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    If the playing group hasn't been sat down and told that if they are caught in any infraction, they can expect no mercy whatsoever. When everyone in the media, the front page of The Record, etc etc is opining that it's the Lions by a street, daylight second, then what else is to be expected but a...

    Review Round -1, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    The single most disappointing thing from the game for me was Coleman's very obvious lack of conditioning. He was blowing from very early in the game. He made some terrible errors and it was sad to watch the pretty obvious backbiting among his seniors. Coleman's lack of fitness, and on who many...

    You must have been watching a different game. To my eye Petracca looked very underdone and slow to boot. JUH was an apparent enigma alight- a virtually non-existent enigma. Just my opinion, and very early days.

    As a Tasmanian may i point out what the V in VFL stands for. Get used to it. And get ready for the howls from the South if either GC or the Lions take the prize this year.

    As with all this crap about new rules [which are in reality the rebirth of old rules in most cases] and the introduction of tech I have one general rule. LEAVE THE GAME ALONE. As for basketball- please, my very limited watching of any, even the highest standard game, suggests to me that travel...

    Re Draper: whatever might be said about "character" etc about which no-one here would really have a clue, his injury represents a bad failure on the part of our medicos. One of the very few failures admittedly, but [along with Doedee] a miss nevertheless which with the new ruck rule might lead...

    Not as farcical as when Peter Hudson [a born and bred Tasmanian] played FF for Victoria in the 1969 Carnival in Adelaide. Kicked 9 goals v SA to deafening silence from the SA crowd. Now THAT'S farcical.

    People complaining about the now declining news covereage in Brisbane should have see it in the 70"s when I first moved here. It was non-existent. Zip. My son and I used t trundle out to Chelmer to catch the occasional AFL game, TV? Forget it. A reflection, if I may. Our game here has made...

    Review Round 23, 2025 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

    It's surprising the number of incidents Brayshaw is involved in as an innocent third party. Just saying. And the tribunal doesn't normally accept "accidents" as an excuse.

    Review Round 22, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

    My understanding is that he has kicked 6 goals in the past 11 games. Feel free to correct me, but if true this is simply appalling seeing he applies more or less zero defensive effort which no-one is exempt from. Apart from this his body language is hopeless and an extremely poor example for...

    ie, not a difficult ask. Mind you, Hippy does put in with the defensive work, tackling etc. Not. Mind you, it's the first time I've heard serious discussion on dropping him to the VFL.

    T I'm a Tasmanian long-term Queensland resident, and I do care. Understand- the Greens are resolutely against the stadium, no matter where, no matter the cost. Take it as read. The Greens foresee that a defeat on the stadium, will inevitably, horror of horrors, revisiting the totally insane...

    At least 2 rucks if possible- one a developer and one ready to roll. If the game v Demons showed one thing we are desperately short of strength in the eye diddle diddle. A dual Brownlow medallist can only carry you so far off his durable but short frame.

    Review Round 10, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Narrm

    We were given a hiding in the middle and really showed our ruck deficiencies, despite Fort's best efforts. Answerth reverted to the form that saw him relegated and might well again. Cam had what might politely be termed a quiet one. It only takes a few at this level to be caught short.

    Review Round 9, 2025 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    Those promoting Doodee are misguided. He hasn't played for 2 years and shows every sign of it. TBH he may now be beyond it and his chance may have passed him by. Similarly Kiddy is still finding his way and is a way off. Despite showing every sign of his real class. There are others in the 2's...

    Review Round 2, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. West Coast

    If Day is the answer, we're asking the wrong question. The game has clearly passed him by. Had minimal impact on and off the ball. Might be wrong but I don't think so. McInerney was off the pace too, but he had good cause, and improved as the game went on. We badly missed Starcevic's steady...

    Preview The return of the Brisbane Lions v Geelong Cats Preview (Round 3, Post-Alfred!)

    Had a little to do with cyclone proofing, post Darwin.. Not rocket science. Bottom plate tied to the foundations, studs to the bottom plate and top plate, top plate to the roof trusses, etc. Cheap triple-grips. Cheap insurance really.

    The mighty Hud averaged over 5 goals per game in all grades. Repeat- averaged over 5 per game. He was 17yo when he made his debut for Tassie in the Carnival in Hobart in1967 IIRC, and in the process led the goalkicking for all sides. In the game v Vic he beat the 3 opponents the V's threw...

    Just my take- what right, what spark of commonsense, does our assistant coach have to voice an opinion on Starcevich's concussion incident. The third such similar incident in recent days. Why would this nong feel he should give us the benefit of his undoubted intelligence [I mean, look at his...
