Shows how much my brain has been broken in the last 6 years but upon reading this I immediately heard in a Trump voice in my head:

"The Brisbane Lions were very nasty to Mr Bernie Gabba-Vegas - not very nice!"

 

[Section 5]

I mean, there's a 2003 one signed by Leigh Matthews, Jonathan Brown, Simon Black and more for $350, so maybe use that as a benchmark

But it is an older ball and may need pumping up a little

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Quite.

 

[Crimso]

So I have the opportunity to buy a red size 5 Sherrin Lyrebird footy signed by the whole 2014 Lions team. Obviously not the most accomplished of Lions teams but some good players at the end and beginning of their careers. Anyone got any suggestions of what might be a fair price? I don't want to rip them off.

How much do you think it would be worth?

You could possibly contact a sports memorabilia place and get an idea.

I really don't have a clue to be honest, even a ballpark figure might be good. She's saying she'd be happy with $40 but that seems like a low value to me. Not a bad suggestion, I'll see if I can follow that up. Thanks.

This has been mentioned a few times on the Roar Deal podcast. It does boggle the mind but as long as it works for him and his family it's all good I guess.

I'd pay something like $50 for the novelty but I don't buy gear like that often, it's just what it's worth to me.

Wasn't Browny living on the sunshine coast for his last few playing years? Commute for him would have been close to 2 hours.

Our win loss record since the start of the 2019 season -

At the Gabba > 41-8.
Away > 24-23.

I ended up giving her $60 for the cost of the ball and $40 for the signatures, so $100 all up - I think we're both happy with that.

Shows you how far off McCluggage has been off his best this season. 19% below AFL average.

I think Hugh will turn that around over time.
Will with a bit more experience playing at AFL level should creep up towards the average. His kicking does look like it needs improving.
They turn these stats around should hopefully result in a better team performance so that's encouraging.

At least both players handball efficiency % is much better. Will actually looks like he has quicker hands than Neale which is saying something.

Will 86.7 %
Hugh 76.5 %
Neale 80.7 % (more handballs than Will and of course gets more attention)

There was a suggestion that we don't have banners because there isn't funding from the club for it. I don't know if that is correct or not. I noticed Collingwood's banner had two sponsors on either side of it and assume those sponsorship $$$ fund all of that. Would be good if the Lions could get someone on board. Love a good banner. Home games without one feel a bit hollow.

Swanny was asked about this on Thursday and said they can't find enough people to make it.

Ah, thanks. What a shame.

We could always bring this out of retirement, run up the backside and out the mouth.

Do they do banners in Melbourne - i recall they did last year when we went down for a game

Sometimes but not every game

Hopefully Zac's work in the gym starts translating into being able to give better "don't argues" and stick his tackles pretty quickly.

That's really interesting. PA is so far off the richter there must be a reason.

And where has the love for the Dogs gone ? Bevo now has cause for his anger.
