The AFL has announced the fixture for the 2024 Smithy’s VFL season with the Brisbane Lions featuring five times in front of their Brighton Homes Arena faithful.

Faithful used in place of supporters always seems overly emotive to me. Then I read the article and am even more excited about playing our VFL rivals Geelong.

It's always been thrillers those Brisbane v Geelong VFL games - Like that time last year when Brisbane smashed Geelong or that time in 2021 where Geelong smashed brisbane.....

 

[Mr Ripper]

“We have made enhancements to the fixtures” AFL-speak for ‘we’ve rigged the draw even more ludicrously’.

It's a very sparse fixture for home games in the first half of the season.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Updated team list:

 

[Nathan Barley]

Was disappointed by Dunkley, McPherson and Martyn getting smashed by the suns mids last week. Hopefully they can step up

 

[briztoon]

Very interested the Darrel McDowell-White is staying on with the VFL team. I wonder if he's been picked up by QAFL club?

 

[Gadzorks]

Had anyone found the steam of this game? Want to catch the end of I can

Fraid I've just got the lions VFL twitter for updates

 

[Dalions]

Looks like Dev is playing in the VFL game today.
So that’s interesting

According to what was Twitter, Lane has 3 goals ( one “from a huge contested mark” ) and Ryan 4.

Wonder if Arnold was playing on one of them

He is, but he's still on the Lions' VFL list, according to the Vic Point AFC Facebook.

 

[briztoon]

Reserves playing the Suns reserves at Ausworld centre tomorrow morning at 11am, according to the Suns board.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Blowing a gale straight across the ground here on the Metripong back oval. Suspect we’re not going to witness a great display of the skills of the game.

 

[Mr Ripper]

On the upside, just enjoyed a gorgeous choral performance by a trio of pied butcherbirds.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Four goals to nowt at QT. Think we had the favoured end. Morris with a couple. Lively.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Four goals to GC that quarter, cutting us up on the rebound and 1 to us. 6.4 to 4.2 (shut up, I know) at HT. Darragh had one kick that nearly blew back over his head.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Up by 9 at 3qt. Disgusting quarter of alleged football.
