“At the risk of having already popped, I’ve gone with what I think will be the next captain of the Brisbane Lions, and the next best half back flanker in the competition.
“Sensational. I watched the Grand Final from behind the goals, and I was so drawn to him all day. He moves beautifully, he’s graceful across the turf. When you watch it from the crowd, you see a target and you think, ‘just hit that target, no worries!’
“You’ve played, you know how fast it is, and you know how that space gets closed. With him, he makes those kicks look easy. Everything he does looks easy. He’s got really good athleticism, he’s taken a couple of big hangers, he’s got courage in the air.
“He looks like he is the complete package.”

JJ is pretty good value. I hated listening to him when he first joined the media, but he’s grown on me. He generally has a pretty smart opinion and doesn’t go in for the clickbait sensationalist bullshit.

Is it bad that part of me would enjoy seeing the Suns win a flag before the Giants (as long as they aren't playing us to do it!)

The Carlton folks I know will be kind of ok with this ... they have never felt complete as a club when they are not being hated and are confident that when they get on top again performance wise they will rise back to their rightful place as the most hated of clubs.

It is almost like living rent-free in your own head...

I actually went looking for it (Zero Hanger), but considering it's one of those shit websites that make you click through a list to read the content and maximize the advertising revenue I really can't be bothered!

Every AFL team's forward line ranked 1-18

Our verdict on the competition’s best, and worst, forward groups from the 2025 season.

Last year they had us 5th

BRISBANE
The back-to-back premiers forward group isn't the most potent group of players, but that makes their budding dynasty so impressive.

The Lions ranked behind most top eight sides in points scored, shot accuracy and actually ranked dead last in offensive one-on-one contests won, highlighting the importance of the recruitment of Oscar Allen to the club.

However, despite no real superstar or Coleman Medal contender headlining the forward mix, Brisbane's goalscoring depth is off the charts. From 20-year-old Logan Morris breaking out to kick 53 goals in the calendar year, to Zac Bailey and Cam Rayner's ability to hit the scoreboard in moments that matter, it's no surprise the Lions ran rampant over the Cats on the final Saturday of September
