The discussion going on about how damaging Rocky's disposal is has had me thinking about how we might go ranking our list from best to worst in regards to their kicking. I tried to do it on my own, but ended up getting pretty stumped so I figured we might try a live list where I try to do it...

My missus, Rachel Merton, is an award winning classical composer who has a crowdfunding campaign coming into its last seven days at the moment. It's for her community chamber-music ensemble which she formed to give non-professional level musicians a chance to play music written and arranged...

We finished off the first half of the season with some pretty good results against Carlton and the Bulldogs, and the horror part of the fixture is over. So I hand it over to you guys to give your assessments on the season so far and how you think we will travel in the final 11 rounds. What are...

With (limited) free-agency now in full swing, is there any need for the continued existence of the pre-season draft? My understanding is that the PSD only existed in the first place so that the AFL couldn't get done for "restraint of trade". Now that there are mechanisms in place for players...

I think it is more appropriate to discuss rookie upgrades in its own thread rather than to discuss in a sympathy thread fort an injured player. It is an important issue though. Theoretically we now have 2 rookie upgrades available to us. LTI and round 11. The rookies are Michael, Bartlett...

I was playing a game of touch rugby yesterday and I was wondering if there was an AFL equivalent... Obviously I'm a bit slow on the uptake, it's been around for a few years now and is relatively healthy in Brisbane. Anyone play to give me a bit more info? Was also thinking could be fun to...

I'm going to start by calling myself out for the preview I wrote for the Lions-Swans game at the SCG this year. I said that I see the Swans as a team perpetually bouncing between 4th and 12th without ever having the quality to go higher. Well, they just won a prelim against Collingwood and...

Interesting ESPN article showing the average salaries of sporting teams last year. Our beloved Lions came in 247 which is the fourth lowest paying of all the AFL teams. Only Port, North and the Doggies are below us; That would have included the Fevola pay out as well. It's speaks volumes...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/photo-gallery/gallery-e6frf94x-1226158347414?page=1 Not one Lion in Mike Sheahan's top 50 players in the comp. No love for Blacky was really surprising to me. He would still walk into any team in the competition in my book. Takes a hard tag most weeks and...

I've just been thinking that we have had very few players reported by the umpires or the MRP this year. Do any of our youngens have a bit of mongrel in them and we just haven't seen it yet? Or is it Vossy instilling competitiveness without over the top aggression in the side? Is it a...
