Members hat is very maroon, gold & white;
Members scarf is very maroon & gold;
Members polo is very maroon & gold;
The lanyard & members card is very blue.
Only mention it because, if anything, there's not enough blue in this year's colours for mine. So buy a membership merch pack to balance...
Robbo and Hanley. Hmmmm. Didn't see Hanley coming.

The Brisbane Lions have re-signed key trio Pearce Hanley, Stefan Martin and Mitch Robinson in a massive show of faith in the future direction of the footy club.
Vice-Captain Hanley, who was already contracted until the end of 2017, has put...
Huddo kept rucking till he was what... 73? (I think officially it was 34, admittedly part time in the end).
Still, you're only as old as the person you feel... or so I've heard. :$
Great news!
So we spent $21.5 million on footy dept spending. From last year's "footy tax" articles, Collingwood spent $22 million on their footy dept in 2014.
To be honest, I expected:
- our footy dept spend to be way lower;
- our merch sales to be way up, given the jumper.
Still, the $1.5 mil off the...
Browny's is more of an eye-opener in terms of his injuries. Decent read but left me disturbed at how close he came to dying, let alone crippling himself. Some funny stories about him & the boys in there too though.
I found Lethal's more interesting overall but he had so many more years, roles...
I figure that we wanted/had to look like innocent victims to push our priority pick request. Look like idiots (or Carlton) asking & also pushing one of our top picks out the door.
Now that a PP is officially dead in the water, it's on like donkey kong.
As much as I think we've got a NTTAWWTteenth chance of getting one, if we turn him loose, why did we bother making submissions for a priority pick? He walks and it's "see - we told you so - add it to our case". I'm for him abandoning us.
The impression of us being victims of the system helps in...
One more thought-
Award for most nervous speaker of the night goes to ZOB. Amazes me that blokes can run out & play footy in front of 20k - 30k like it's nothing, but put them in a suit in front of 500 of them and they get jittery.
Well deserved by Zac though. In the headlines for the right...
Just observations from the night.
The voting system is ok (IMO) but took me half the night's votes to work out how they were falling/being read out. Like a blackjack casino dealer, just throwing out cards so quick that no-one could follow anything but the totals. A bit slower would've built...
Q: What'll get over to make the Suns/Lions clash look like a genuine rivalry? I mean we need some real heat, nothing fake looking ok?
A: Pro-wrestlers dammit! They'll bring in some credibility to any rivalry. And it's the Bella Twins People! And we get Nikki.
4 umpires, Brion, confused...
Browny was saying this morning that Walsh's Bears club-champion jumper is hanging up in the Lions' rooms.
1st ever Bears club champion.
RIP. Just awful.
Sam's usually good value, but if I was to bother writing an article on the woes of the Lions mozzie squad, Squizz deserves the least ink. Combined with no-name quotes, seems a bit of a troll piece. The edit on the title (from "Who's on Taylor? No one cares") is pretty telling.
Still remember the 'kaboom' type reaction when we drafted him with our last pick in the 09 national draft. Commentators around the desk were literally folding up their card tables for the night and trying to wrap things up when the entire room went 'Orrrghhhhhh'.
Vossy was right though. He was...
