The Gabba is legally called the Brisbane Cricket Ground. AFL is 4th ranked sport up there after league, cricket and union, so Brisbane have very little say on the Brisbane Cricket Ground Trust / Stadiums Queensland.

You are most likely correct.

But, Queensland Cricket split games with AB oval - with the exception of the internationals. The Reds, Broncos and Dolphins all play at Suncorp.

I suspect the Gabba’s biggest (and most consistent) tenant is the Lions.

Reckon Kingers has done a decent job in his first year coaching with not the greatest GWS list and his assistants are only so so.

That loss to WCE by 19 pts in Perth in Rd 2 has hurt, but GWS have lost to Richmond by 6 pts, Carlton 10, St Kilda 12 - all at Giants Stadium, Essendon 13 at Docklands and Bulldogs 15 in Canberra. They have also lost by 21 pts to Brisbane in Canberra.

Their only bad loss has been to Collingwood by 65 pts at the MCG in Rd 9 which was a one goal less margin than we lost to the pies by.

Edit in 2023
At showgrounds now are 2-3
In Canberra they are..... 0-2
Away from home are..... 4-3 won at Kardina Park, Hobart, SCG and Norwood

I reckon he's doing a great job, win or lose for the most part he's made them hard to play against & now some flair is starting to come out.

I went to the shops a couple of hours ago and saw the Tsier's front page and it said Danger Ramped. Had a quick read and confirmed his ambulance was subject to ramping on Thursday night not something about being ramped during the game. See copy of front page below.

A couple of times during the game he was in a collision and down he went and I couldn't help but yell out, have a wince Danger. The people who I wen't to the footy said to me yeah he's always wincing and the second time he went down they joined in me bagging him and up on the big screen came a shot of him being on the ground, on his knees and you guessed it he was wincing heavily. A few people around us started laughing at it. Then they showed him on the bench wincing and a few others around us joined in bagging him.

I get no pleasure in him being badly hurt and having to go to hospital but his wincing over the years and acting up - and the BS 50m penalty he got because JHF threw it hard at him and he didn't stick out his arms to catch it makes it hard too feel too sorry for him.

But if he was still playing for the crows and got ramped or if Ted gets ramped, I'd expect a 10 page piece from the Tiser about it and how bad the health system is.

I liked the bit where Cotchin said “it’s Cotchin time!” and cotched all over everyone.

Briggs becoming a great ruck is exactly what gws need , there best seasons came when Mumford actually played most games

Be interesting to see what they do with Preuss, who is a beast, but is never fit and often gets suspended when he is.

A couple of teams at the pointy end who might nibble.

They offered me more money however I'll spin a fruchoctopian tale you'll all be gullible enough to believe.

They offered him a ton more money, whereas we offered him less than Sydney did.

He is good player, but wouldn't get near our midfield group. And we certainly didn't need to overpay for a hbf given we are so loaded with them.

Been saying it for years the umpires take too long to blow their whistle. I'm surprised there hasn't been more knee and ankle injuries. Go watch a game from the 80's and 90's especially state of origin games when you had the best players the umps blew the whistle quickly. Today's umpires have very little feel for the game.

I don't think it's feel for the game, it's a directive. The AFL is terrified of stoppages and has been for some time, and then they continue to make decisions and guidance that exacerbates it (nominating rucks slows the game). They tinker way too much.

 

[Brian McGee]

How can the umpire not see king’s arm over baltas face there?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Crows are going to fall into the 8.. the rest are falling away.

Just thinking the same.

Everyone who could take their spot is losing.

This is super dangerous for us.
If we play them in the finals, they are the only team that can derail is at home

If the umpires were footy smart they would as a collective push back on these directives. But they arent.

I don’t get people being worried about us even playing the crows IF they make the 8.
If we meet them in the finals this year it tells you we had a totally shyt second half of the season and are just making up the numbers.

Who gives a shit?

They’re miles away from having a side that can compete in finals. They might win one but there is zero chance they win 4 in a row in September

Absolute waste of energy thinking about it
