[BRAB]

Brion the Lion is gone

Is this official.

Horrible news for the club.

 

[Davemonkey]

Horrible news for the club.

he now fights Captain Carlton before Blues home games. Somehow CC still loses.

Horrible news for the club.

Can't remember the last time I saw him. Was absent at the Essendon game.

Yep he's been retired. Good riddance.

 

[Skoob]

I feel the club has really let him down.

 

[AFLQLD]

Brion..you were too beautiful for this world!

 

[Skoob]

Whilst on the subject, I was a bit disappointed to find Dom not on the mic this year. Thought he did a great job last year.

I believe Dom had to turn it down due to it clashing with other media commitments.

Yep. Dom's got a national commercial radio slot now. He's focusing on that and the YouTube stuff I believe.

Cool. Hadn't heard over the off season. He's been a bit quiet.
So, he's a dirty sellout then?
Good on him.

What a disgrace.

The club always treats club legends poorly and this is no exception.

 

[BRAB]

I'm actually a bit annoyed the club didn't announce this officially so I could beat the joke into the ground.

yep, i for one am deflated by this news, emotionally flattened and have a puncture in my heart.

#RIPBrion.

 

[luthor]

I always thought Brion had an over-inflated opinion of himself.

 

[BRAB]

Also I love the idea of TBD asking a club official all these pertinent questions about the very future of our club and then chucking in the Brion question.

all hot air and no substance, a bit of a Damian Barrett of the mascot world unfortunately.

3 dad jokes in 1 post - love your work!

Probably to be expected when that many guys have their heads up your ass

Well given what the club did announce during the week, you could always try beating Cox instead.

 

[James North]

Only 35 members more than GWS and down 10% on last year.

Hope we can bounce back in 2018.

Wonder how many GWS memberships are companies / individuals taking a calculated risk on obtaining cheap Grand Final tickets

For example, VIC Memberships are about $200 and that gives you priority access to the 4 weeks of finals.

I'm going with 25 - 50%

There's definitely a few, but nowhere near that many. GWS had about 12k members before last season started when no one expected them to do really well, so that'd rule out a fair chunk. Of the new members, a massive number (80%? I remember hearing a really high total) are three gamers only which is a silly option to buy if you're aiming for GF tickets.

I'd imagine the Lions would have a fair number of them as well considering most crowds are well under 15k.

These member numbers are so dodgy I'm sure most are fish or parrots.

Both crows & port have more members than seats in their home stadium

As do West Coast. The numbers aren't dodgy, more strategic. Such things as interstate, international, digital and pet memberships inflate figures.

I understand West Coast have had waiting lists for a seat at Subi for years.
