    Review Round 8, 2026 - Essendon vs. Brisbane Lions

    Would he step out in front of a freight train just because nobody told him not to?

    Next poll should be “Are you angry that your club isn’t following Lions best practice game preparation?”

    There was a system. Well managed and professional clubs with focused Boards and good administrations have done well out of it. Not just non Victorian clubs with academies eg woods, Cats , hawks, and maybe Dees. While we are a well run club we are likely to do well under the next system. And...

    Discussion / Changes - Bombers Round 8

    Tempting but we don’t want to create an impression that we think the game is already won. I can see the merit in resting Allen, moving Gallop forward and giving Joyce another run on the back line. If any of our reserves “deserve” promotion it’s probably Joyce. Worked hard on his game since...

    Preview Round 7: Brisbane Lions v Adelaide Crows Sunday 26 April 2026 3:15 PM

    Yes he seemed to be going through the motions at bit. Admittedly while getting a fair bit of the ball. He is just looked too good for vfl level, perhaps that’s part of his issue. If selected, I hope he cements a spot.

    Review Round 6, 2026 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    Motty’s kicking was pretty poor over the weekend, but your post reminds me about something I have been thinking about for a while. I wonder whether or not the dump kick (high, slow) is a deliberate tactic for the panic kick out of defence? With the opposition well structured behind the ball and...

    Preview Round 7: Brisbane Lions v Adelaide Crows Sunday 26 April 2026 3:15 PM

    Just on problems with defence, if you are playing half back and the opposition releases a player with the ball 30 to 40 metres in front of you, you are stuffed. You go forward and the ball gets kicked over your head to you man running towards goal. You go back and the player continues to run...

    Review Round 6, 2026 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    If the mid field applies no pressure, the half backs look bad, no matter who they are. A lack of team defense and losing our best two way runner didn’t help

    Worth discussing. If Smith was fit he would be a long way in front of him. Waller has potential but looks a long way off. We would need to invest at least a couple of years into his development. Fort isn’t getting any younger. ZZ and Curtin have potential but look more KPP/ruck types. Big gap...

    I had Joyce as best until those brain fades. He was almost demanding a call up to the afl and then it appeared to go to his head and he went out of his lane. Still a very good game. In another thread I wondered why Torrent was still on the list, well we he gave a fairly compelling argument on...

    Assuming we lose the five you have listed retire /trade, that’s more than enough list spaces. I am not sure if we should delist Lloyd. I still feel he is not that far off AFL standard, could be a capable third tall, and seems to make continual incremental improvements. However he may well get...

    For the old timers, echos of Royce Hart”s biography to celebrate his 50 th game (iirc). Did his knee soon after. Not that I wish this on Daicos. Hart may have been the GOAT if not for the injury.

    Had lunch with a saints following mate last week. He started on the whole academy thing. Just said tell me why did you cut Steel again? (And this was before the Demons game). Conversation switch back to what an idiot Trump is immediately.

    Review Round 4, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

    He actually reminded me a bit of Oscar last night. Very physical in the contest, creating space for mid fielders and driving the ball forward. Had a number of clearances.

    Review Round 4, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

    Agree with all this. Great contribution to the club since he got here. First AFL match in over two years. Didn’t put a foot wrong (admittedly against a poor attack receiving poor service from their on ballers). Tremendous bloke to have as coverage. I gave him a consolation vote as he goes out...

    Two random thoughts. Beecken played one game last year but only got a quarter off the interchange. He seems to have fallen out of discussions. Any comments from those at the vfl yesterday? Could/should we try to develop Marshall as a defender, given we are short of small defenders and he is...

    Nice article to start a discussion thedaz. Thanks for posting. Overall a fair article. Didn’t mention the knee injury which obviously set him back abit and as NB says, he is not in our first string group. I am pretty happy with his contribution to the teams success so far and liking the idea of...
