I know it is not media per se, but was scrolling through Facebook and found a page "Brisbane Lions The Mighty Roar"

Wow.... interesting folk on that one...

I dared reply to a post in a positive manner and got this

"You're just smoking crack Robert... That's the difference!!"




"Who let this flog on the page?"
"
i'll go check who let him on"
"
HA!!! added by XXXXXX on monday. suck someone's fungus ridden toe"
"it's got me f***** how people like you have Internet connection, but still qualify for public housing..."
Anyway, I hope that those on that page are not on BF as well, would be surprised to be honest. Was easy to hit the leave page button..:)

If you go to The Age's AFL section this morning you would really struggle to find a story about the game last night. And the story that is there focuses on North losing the game, not us winning it. Disappointing.

Did exactly that and had the same reaction. You have to remember they are a Melbourne paper, so it's fair enough they focus on the Melbourne based side. It irks me more when we are brushed aside on Foxtel and other national media.

This is true, although they have to consider that they now have reach into Queensland through brisbanetimes.com.au. Stafford's article probably gives a more even account than the subbie's headline gives indication of.

BTW, kudos on the avatar Groo. :thumbsu: Was searching for a Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster at half-time last night.

Just watching Ope Mike... Awesome show as usual. Simon Beasley to subject tonight.

Two things about Simon's kick after the siren at Carrara when the crowd spilled onto the field.

a) Peter Knights was in the shot. He was standing directly behind Beasley on the mark. Have never noticed that beofre.

and b) Simon Beasley said that Vossy has said he was on the ground as a spectator trying to put Beasley off. He must have been about 11 or 12 then:D

Whilst driving home from work tonight, Adrian Fletcher gave a bloody good interview on SEN.

Just checked SEN's website, still not up yet, but well worth a listen.

It is real hard not to get very excited about the club after listening to him about our future prospects, especially his comments regarding Mayes and Polec. Also gave a real insight into the flexibility of our team and it actually surprised me how many options we do in fact have.

Could you elaborate onto what he said about Polec?

Have a listen Bert. Not a great deal, spoke more about Mayes, Hanley etc, but on Polec, just that he hasn't had a full pre-season and that he should become the player they think he will become. Make of that what you will, but sounds promising.

Will do, I wasn't sure when it would be put up. Thanks for letting us know about the interview :thumbsu:

Round 23 - Saturday 31/8, 2.30pm - Geelong vs. Brisbane @ Simmonds Stadium

Don't think Eddie will be happy with the Sunday game, didn't have much choice though looking at the matches.

Melbourne will get to play in September too :p

Shit - was really hoping for a night game at the Cattery, there has to be some upside to going there.

I love this picture.

The facial expression of Jed - perfect for one of those chain of pictures where it starts out with the above one and each new picture zooms in to focus on Jed's face in the background.

There's also Staker in the background with a classic 'soon' meme look on his face.
