A club email has just announced 3 more delistings. Thanks for your efforts Keays, Walker and Basti!!!

Robbo18! I’m shattered for Nick. He bleeds for the boys and his selflessness/courage on the footy field is something I’ve pointed out as great examples to my son plenty of times. Thanks for your efforts Nick, hopefully you get picked up as a DFA! PS. Buddy has never recovered from your hit and...

I watched the Allies game yesterday. I thought our Academy prospect N. Cumberland played a very nice game of footy. Played mostly off the back flank providing plenty of run out of defence. He did also manage to kick 2 goals when he was pushed forward. W. Martyn was pretty quiet. SA had a...

It will be interesting to see who goes back to the twos after the coaches review the game. I would presume Archie and Allison would be worried, so would Rayner, McCarthy and Robertson. We have Big O and probably a Christensen/Lester/Bastinac type who are dominating in the twos and ready to go...

I’m currently living in Newcastle and a JLT game would be great. There isn’t an oval that could host an AFL game without some form of upgrade but Newcastle Jets and Cardiff Hawks would probably be the most likely. All the rage about why would you bother is a little bit silly, I’m finding the...

Legendary effort. Thanks

Hi LI, Not sure if you can help but I’ve tried to use my kids birthday gift vouchers at the lions shop (online) but they are expired. The vouchers don’t have an expiration date on them so I could not have known that. My kids birthdays were in May and Oct so I’m surprised that they were unusable...

Which is why I think that until a player has qualified for free agency, they can ask to be traded but not where. The club can then go out and get the best deal they can for that player. It would reduce clubs being handcuffed by a second year player saying “I want to go home and I’ll only play...

You can ask to be traded but not where you want to go. The club can then trade you for best value. When you qualify for free agency, you can obviously go where you want. If you are that unhappy about the club and the trade options; you can sit out for a year and then re-nominate for the draft...

When will the club have to finalise the list before the draft?

I agree on talent alone he is right up there. I am hopeful of a slide because his lack of game time and exposure this year. In other words, if he was available and we picked someone else, sad times!!!

Just having a go at our draft this year. I’ve tried to think of players who could reasonably be assumed to be available at our pick. Pick 18: Jye Caldwell, he has had an injury riddled year but is a huge talent. Pick 30: Luke Valenti, I watched a couple of the SA games and I thought he was one...

That’s my point, if picks 9 and 10 are available for pick 5 why would we do the trade for freo? Why not either trade pick for 5 for Neale and freo organise their own pick swap with port or keep pick 9 and give freo a first and second rounder for Neale (10 and 22). I wouldn’t just jump right in...

If we were able to get picks 9 and 10 from the power for pick 5. I would push a trade of pick 10 and 22 for Neale and keep pick 9. I wouldn’t start the trade for Neale with picks 9 & 10 being available.

I heard the recruiting team had their worries about young Josh moving away from his support but Leppa wanted him. The wrap up of hipwood said he had 82 shots on goal, so maybe a few dropped short/OOB. He and McStay had great years minus the accuracy.

We have absolutely been as bad as them. They still have 4 wins in a terrible year. We have definitely been in the same boat in the last 5 years and we have both been bleeding good players which has only made matters worse. Whilst I dislike the suns, I feel like we both are getting shafted by the...

I saw on the AFL app about quarters won that we were equal last on 8. I had a quick look at all our games this year and of the quarters lost (20), we lost 6 quarters by a goal or less and another 2 quarters by 6-10 pts. Which leaves 12 quarters lost; of which 4 were all from the Richmond...

Yes.

That loss hurt. Reading some of the negative dribble on here is worse. Our average games/age is higher mostly because of hodge. Eagles, rayner, bailey, McInerney, Allison under 10 games. McCluggage, Berry, Cutler, witherden, hipwood, Andrews, McStay, Gardiner and Taylor. Are all under 23...

Port Adelaide are also down a tall in Ryder and with Westoff and Dixon doing the ruck work it seems like the coaches have decided to run the option of a running mid-forward vice a tall (McStay). Our backline combo (walker, Harris and Gardiner) can play tall. Hopefully someone steps up to keep...

So Mathieson, Bastinac and Barrett didn’t make the team. Bell, Lester and Rayner are in. How did everyone else go? Anyone get all 22 correct?

I thought I had read an article during the election from Greg Swann which said they had already begun clearing the site and the works would be commencing. He also said that they could continue the works and if the extra funding could be secured in the next budget announcements (mid year) then...

I was certain that the move was already underway with next years preseason being the first at Springfield. They have already started works and the only funding yet to be secured is the lights and stadium which would be cheaper to get done in this phase. Correct me if I’m wrong but there is no...

Thanks for the response. I did just do 2 mins of googling and if the team does stay with an AFL partnered hotel which may happen to overlook the Fitzroy gardens; they are probably already meeting that suggestion.... As for the team going to watch a FFC game, it may only be able to happen once...

The Victorian Family could also be held at Brunswick st oval. The FFC could make a dollar opening up their canteen for it. If it rains then head inside and make it real intimate.

Hi Lions insider. I’ve been working on an idea to help reconnect with the Fitzroy fans in Melbourne. I also have no connection to Fitzroy, I followed the bears prior to the alignment. I just have an interest in getting the clubs membership numbers back up. Now the idea is simple really, start...

Cats Crows Giants Swans Tigers Demons Power Bombers Saints Bulldogs Eagles Hawks Magpies Lions Blues Dockers Kangaroos Suns Its tough to pick teams who won’t make the 8. Hopefully it goes down to the wire again.

You can’t honestly expect a first year medium forward to hold his own playing deep? Nobody does pagans paddock anymore. He will be zoning on the half back, sprinting forward, expected to hold the ball in our forward line through defensive pressure and repeating for 10 mins a quarter. On top of...

IF raynor can beat Barrett for the position than that’s great. But he would have to be able to run a shitload better than he can currently and I can’t see Barrett giving up his spot in the team. Competition for spots is great but I can’t see raynor being a shoe in because he went no 1. Andrew...
