The "Ask Lions_Insider!" discussion thread

And which God?

Pretty obvious he was referring to Anansi

 

[M Malice]

And which God?

I'm on the side of science and evidence so I think we agree.

 

[Carlos Danger]

Was trying to set Jason up for a Simpson ref. But he let me down

 

[Gadzorks]

Which part? Being a sphere or made by god is controversial.

for me the (any) god part but only cause I think the pictures of earth that they took on the mission to moon show the planet is round.

One man’s belief is another’s controversy.

Mission to the moon...pffft

 

[Mr Ripper]

Damn. It’s ages since I’ve visited the BF conspiracies board. Brb.

It's so good to have a Lions_Insider who can answer our questions so promptly, thanks heaps L_I.

I have only been of BF for 2 and a half years, so a question for some of our more long standing BF members- Is this something that was brought in by this administration or has there always been an official club presence on our board?

It was a previous admin idea (see the start date of the account) but neglected after an initial burst of activity. This administration has revived it and are a lot more interactive instead of just using it for an occasional announcement.

Lions_Insider - has Tom Fullarton been allocated a number as yet and if so, what is it?

11 or 47 you'd think

 

[Dalions]

11 or 47 you'd think

Maybe Madden can continue the Irish tradition in 11.

Get Tom Lynch and give him the 11

Doesn't look like they will be unfortunately as the curtain raiser isn't expected to draw that large of a crowd.

Translink has all the info here: https://translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/event-transport/10126

No problem at all. It is fairly easy to get the normal Gabba bus from Chermside - knowing gives me time to plan - thanks

We always catch a regular bus from Chermside. the 340 at stop 38, runs quarter hourly.

From the website:

NEAFL play in a curtain raiser at the Gabba v GWS Giants at 12.55pm.

Gate 2 open at 12.45pm
NEAFL bounce at 12.55pm
Corporate gates open at 2.45pm
Public gates open at 3.00pm

For the NEAFL match:

• Seating areas opened: Sections 28 – 37. Enter via Gate 2.
• Patrons require a match ticket to the Senior game to enter the Gabba, however will not be permitted to sit in corresponding seats.
• The ticket office at Gate 2 will be open for patrons to purchase tickets from 12.45pm.
• Patrons attending the curtain raiser are not permitted to move into their match day seat until public gates open (3.00pm).
• A patron’s ticket including corporate tickets and Lions member seating allocation will be invalid for the curtain raiser seating, all patrons will be seated in the areas noted above however must be able to be scanned it at the operational gates.

Thanks. Just saw it. Not usually noted on the website (or I should say used to). I don't usually look these days since it finally sunk in how long before games it opens (normal senior games).

Lions_Insider - when do you expect an announcement from the AFL on the details (date / time) for the round 23 match against West Coast?

Usually they announce it around the beginning of August. I've been watching with interest too.

 

[Dylan12]

Usually they announce it around the beginning of August. I've been watching with interest too.

My guess is that it’ll be either the early Saturday game or Saturday twilight game given West Coast will be playing finals and will look to get back to Perth on the Saturday to prepare.

Either way, I’m just wanting to plan my weekend up in Brisbane.

Should be a Friday night game to be fair to West coast

I'm probably heading to Melbourne that weekend so I need to figure out how to structure my commitments to see some live games.

Even better and we’ve just about earned the right to one.

 

[dlanod]

Swans v Hawthorn would have to be it at this stage. It's the only game with both teams in the top 8. Melbourne v Giants is the only other one with two teams who have realistic finals chances, so overall it's a pretty awful weekend of games.

Swans/Hawks is easily game of the round. A monty for Friday, IMO.

Last round should be more about when the finals teams are expected to play 1st week of the finals and how much travel they will have and not to be unfairly disadvantaged. West Coast should therefore play fri night

 

[Paul D]

Travel should no longer be an issue with the week off before the finals. Will basically have two weeks to prepare.
