It was a great contest. The outcome was unfortunate. Collingwood were just a little bit better on the day. The team played with heart and soul. Fans should be proud of the effort today and this year. I thought the captains and coaches of both teams spoke very well. I have been a critic of...
My faith in humanity has been restored. I'm going to grab an anti inflammatory and enjoy.

The team gave their all with effort and enthusiasm, but lacking in execution which is understandable in a high pressure game. We did have home ground and crowd advantage, so well done to the Dogs for winning. The coach was good during the press conference, gave some insightful answers to some...
Chris Fagan has been very good for the Lions during his tenure. Playing finals football is not an easy task. But if we lose on Saturday, I feel it will be the beginning of the end for the coach. Hope I'm wrong.
That game reminded me of the PF last year against Geelong. We were never in it after QT. It could have been a 60 plus smacking. May we be much better at The GABBA.
While Chris Fagan should never single out a player in press conferences for condemnation, I will. Harris Andrews, even though...
Congratulations Lions. You are into the finals. You proved me wrong. And for that I most gratefully apologise. And to all the Lions supporters from here and elsewhere including families hope you are enjoying the journey this year. After all this time it just tastes sweeter. Well done to all of...
I have a feeling by the end of August this game will be very telling. It certainly was not a loss that you can justify without saying extremely disappointing. You should never lose in a position like that at quarter time against the bottom team. That one stings. And the bite will be possibly...
Lions lost by 1 point. If they won by 1 point people here would have the emotion of ecstasy instead of agony. Fremantle played better in the last 10-15 minutes with the crowd on their side helping them. They gave effort (for the most part), execution is lacking sometimes but that's what...
Good second half. I will try to forget the first half. Well done Lions. Need to be MUCH better against sides fighting for finals. Looked like a great sunny day. Very disappointing crowd for a Saturday afternoon. Must be on the beach.
Lets hope for an entertaining game and the Lions can put on a display that the supporters can be proud of. I expect a five goal win with the quality of the two sides but the Lions must use brain and brawn to have a decisive victory.
The Lions were beaten by a much better side. More skilled, better discipline. faster and longer running. Usually losing sides blame the umpires. Instead to a lesser extent blame the Lions players and coaches but really Collingwood were a class(or two) above. Brisbane has plenty of work to do...
Just my observation. Others will beg to differ. I do think he is an outstanding individual in regards to man management and human resources. The Barassi style was great in it's time but fortunately rarely exists today. He communicates well and seems genuine when he expresses his thoughts and...
Just not the best in the competition for tactical nous or game day analysis. We live in a new century though where you have lots of other people helping out. Unlike before when the coach was the focal point of everything on field.
Good work Sausages. It should be a tough encounter. I don't see the Lions getting in the top eight this year. Not enough depth. But you never know. If we lose one of Harris Andrews, Lachie Neale or Charlie Cameron or all three for extended periods of time we will struggle. As long as the...
How sweet it is. As "Sproj" said in the match day thread. "Lachie Neale, Lincoln McCarthy, Jarryd Lyons what fantastic pick ups these guys all are". When we can get Adams fit we could have four recruits that would be in the best 22 at any club. Lachie Neale - like Tom Mitchell - is training...
Glass half full - we are heading in the right direction
Glass half empty - we can't see where the direction is heading over the horizon.
Some people will think the glass is shattered and we are going nowhere and not heading to the Promised Land. (and fair enough after the last 10 years)
But I...
