Good to see you are not carrying any sort of grudge against Brisbane and are not obsessed with them in any way.

Thanks mate, that is some great information - I was struggling to find anything.

Does anyone know (or know where to find out) if the Brisbane Lions created some sort of record with the least amount of quarters won this year? We finished on 17, which seems extraordinarily low - Essendon were the next worse on 25. It doesn't seem like a stat that has typically been kept until...

I kind of wonder where this thread will go to next? The doubling down and ramping up of the anti Ricky bloodlust is getting towards fever pitch. I haven't seen anything like it in my 10 years reading this forum. At least there has been some wonderful piss-taking of the unbelievablely...

Before we go into bashing mode of another former Lions player who may or may not apply for the coaching position, can we just not. Johnny Barker was a great guy and showed heaps of promise at Fitzroy. He was also best mates with Chrissy Johnson. Now I have no idea about whether he can coach or...

I saw it live and thought at the time that Merrett got him pretty good and that he would get a week for it. Still I applauded Merrett for giving it to Savage as it was at a point in time when three other Saints players had just tried to put a block on him to get Riewoldt free.

When Sharpless was asked about Leigh's opinion / role at the Club, didn't he say something like - I don't know how any of the other directors voted. I took from that he meant it was a secret ballot.

I think Bob Sharpless just implied it was a secret ballot - which is concerning from a number of aspects (not to mention the leaking).

Fox Sport are reporting what seems clear - that Leppa has been sacked. (Saying the players were told at 12pm) http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/brisbane-lions-board-meets-to-decide-justin-leppitschs-coaching-future/news-story/fd3b8cc1dc585cdadd55661fd53daa58

Noticed Hammo's latest article takes a strong shot at Leigh again for noting that he thinks QLD will never be AFL heartland. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/brisbane/new-coach-just-the-start-of-cleanout-required-at-brisbane-lions/news-story/656152f2120b2c5238bb5bcfa705e3e3 Really...

I don't really believe the secret ballot thing - it was a good line from Hammo though, he definitely knows how to drum up business. Our Constitution doesn't make any provisions for a secret ballot as far as I can tell. And as has been mentioned, some Board members were most likely connected via...

It seems like it should be a two horse race between Robbo and Zorko. I have Zorko finishing slightly ahead, but who knows?

Good pick up, for some reason I had his birth date listed as 17/01/1986 instead of 17/11/1986 in my spreadsheet (I had to manually re-enter the birth dates from the list data into the right format unfortunately so that mistake has been there since the start of the year. Oh well an extra 10...

Just doing my own unsophisticated calculations of what losing margins would avoid the wooden spoon tomorrow. I was thinking more along the lines of what the Saints might score, rather than what the Lions will score. If the Saints kick 80 points, the Lions need to score 36 points to avoid the...

Bad luck for the Roys - I can't believe they just missed out on finals after playing so well in the second half of the season.
