I wear it over the top of a light polo shirt, I think it looks fine like that on my skinny body.

I wear the latest indigenous t shirt out in public briz, it has never even dawned on me that it might not be appropriate for me to do that.

A lot of players aren't indigenous, but they all wear them as a sign of respect. I figure fans warning then is also a sign of respect.

The people designing then know they are for sale for the entire fan base as well

So good to see that the Lions have embraced so many indigeneous players at the Club...well done Lions!

Massive change from what 5 years or so back. Didnt we only have 1 or none for a while?

Looks awesome. Easily the best we’ve had.

Can you get it without the XL logo?

Agree, but at least Neds is not on the jumper.

I don't think we ever hit none, but I'm pretty sure there were years were Ash or Allen were the singular.

It would be nice for that to happen, but the sponsors probably love being affiliated with that type of imagery, without having to do anything about it themselves...

I love the Deadly Choices designs though, always look sweet.

For some reason I was thinking there would be an icon of the indigenous and torres strait flags on it, now that they're able to be used?

Neale Daniher's fight with MND is inspiring. 8 years!

On Fage's fan Q&A video today he strongly hinted that Dan, Joe, Hippy, O and Fort could not all play in the one side as it would affect the balance of the team .... pretty obvious it is going to come down to either O or Fort when all are available, personally I'd be sticking with O.

Loved when asked who would win between the current lions and the hatrick team ... "It's really hard to say but I think they could get us by a couple of goals 'cause we're all 40 and 50 now mate..."

Fantastic chat and unbelievably great guernsey, I ordered one today and will wear it to our next home game.

On the banter about the 3peat side and this one if you did a combined side right now the only players from now to make it IMO would be peak form Zorko, Neale, Cameron and Andrews + maybe in discussions McCluggage and Rich.

It would be a more worthwhile discussion if we go on to win a flag or 3 over the next 4-5 years though.

It pops up from time to time. Just looking now, I reckon Hart, Ashcroft and the Scott brothers were all fantastic clubmen but at that point I'd be happy having some combination Zorko, Neale and McCluggage above them. Rich too for whichever of the four was playing off the back flank. Charlie for Ash.

The sneaky one would be Oscar - in an era of Charman, McDonald and Keating, Oscar can punch it forward with the best of them (Keating) and mark it with the best of them (Charman) and tap it at least competitively with Beau. Plus he actually stays healthy!

But ultimately while we'd be a more skilled team, we'd be a less physically dominant team - and that was a massive part of their identity back then. Which is a big part of why it's fruitless to compare the two.

Suns doing good stuff off field

These AFL stars are taking the 'confronting' problem of domestic violence personally

Win or lose, this round of the AFL will resonate deeply with Gold Coast Suns players who are dedicating Sunday's game to helping domestic and family violence survivors.

The AFL have relaxed a couple of Covid protocols, one of which is the players no longer have to do a Covid test every day, it has been ratcheted back to 2 times a week, they should go the whole hog and only mandate tests if they have symptoms.

Does Daniher get close? Imagine him taking the 3rd tall after Lynch and Brown with an open forward line. He would be incredible with more room to work with.

Hi. Where can I find this video? Is it on the lions site and I'm blind?

Little bit Bears, little bit boomerang. Love it.

And Darryl White is such a great bloke. Had half an hour in the pub with him a few years ago, and it is still one of my fondest memories.

Was at the rugby league tonight and comparing their on field entertainment to the Lions. I know it's magic round so maybe a bit more into it, but they had a good strobe light show with music during intervals. Much better than the trash the 2 screaming ladies dish out.

Does the half time entertainment of a H&A game influence peoples decision to attend? It is only 20 minutes, I guess most here just love the game so it makes little difference.

Do punch ups in the crowd outdo some strobe lights & some music? Not convinced the NRL have it right themselves.

Safety for attendees over a short period of secondary entertainment for me.
