    Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 21st 5:15pm EST (MCG)

    Very classy of you. Well done. Geelong certainly didn't lose any admirers today. They played a great game.

    Brisbane All Time Team as of '24

    Before Bernie came to Fitzroy in 1978, it was a case of stopping Wilson & Murphy & you beat the Roys. We had a plethora of great little men in those days - Wilson, Murphy, Irwin, Allan to name a few. But we had no real star key position players. Until Bob Beecroft was moved to FF. He was a...

    Brisbane All Time Team as of '24

    He should have BOLTED the 86 Brownlow in. Roos was so dominant that year. Similarly when Garry Wilson should have won the 78 & 79 Brownlows, or at least one of them.

    Brisbane All Time Team as of '24

    Geez I forgot about Matt Rendell. Yep he would be my pick as the ruckman in that side. Not only was he a very good, mobile ruckman, but he could play forward as well. He kicjed 46 goals from FF in his 1st year in 1981.

    Brisbane All Time Team as of '24

    Only positions I'd change is: Bunton on the wing, Murphy ruck-rover, Wilson rover, Neale half forward. The ruck is a weakness there. Stef Martin was serviceable, But Norm Brown should be ahead of him. Even Ron Alexander who played in the 70's - 80's & captained the side with aplomb, was far...

    And one of the greatest rovers of all-time, Garry Wilson is a lock for Fitzroy's TOTC.

    Yere but WHAT IF a drugs scandal hits Carlton on the Monday after they beat us or it was found that they had 19 players on the field during the game or if a goal was overturned on Sunday morning, meaning that the win gets awarded to us, despite losing to them on the scoreboard! You mean there's...

    Hey that's fine. I mean Levi is NOWHERE near as good as his brother Will. How did he go in the Lion's reserves on Sunday? Did he get a kick? Nothing to see here.

    NO TROLLS Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly involved in racism & homophobia allegations lodged in court documents

    Pick No 1 coming Freo's way. Whatever happens if the points stripping is done retrospectively ie 2023? Do we have space in our cabinet for that auld cup?

    NO TROLLS Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly involved in racism & homophobia allegations lodged in court documents

    Whether any or all of these allegations are true, my best mate who is a passionate Collingwood supporter is absolutely fuming, that these issues have arisen again. Especially when this week should be about the great man playing his 400th game.

    Review Round 20, 2024 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Lol it was one of the strangest goal celebrations that I have ever seem. I watched the replay last night & when Bailey kicks his snap goal, courtesy of a Logan Morris handball, the Big O comes over & kisses Morris on the head not once but twice! How cute that was.

    Preview Round 20 - Brisbane Lions v Gold Coast Suns, Sat 27, 4:35PM; People First Stadium, Gold Coast

    100% correct. He did seem to get easy goals last year. He will be under the microscope this game.

    Preview Round 20 - Brisbane Lions v Gold Coast Suns, Sat 27, 4:35PM; People First Stadium, Gold Coast

    I'm over all of the doom & gloom that I had early in the week when I heard that Andrews & Joyce were out. I checked the scores on last year's game with Gold Coast. King kicked 5 goals & Andrews, Payne & Lester played that day. So even with our full compliment of defenders, we still went down. I...

    Preview Round 20 - Brisbane Lions v Gold Coast Suns, Sat 27, 4:35PM; People First Stadium, Gold Coast

    Should be a good opportunity for the Lions to turn adversity into a positive outcome. It's good that we have had virtually all week to think about the strategies & options available. Had Andrews & Joyce been ruled out today, it would have been more difficult to plan & prepare for. It's a shame...

    Well Melbourne have stuffed poor Tommy up! Killed his confidence. He at least won a few hitouts in the Lion's seconds didn't he?

    Unofficial Preview Changes/discussion Round 20, Pineapple Grapple.

    I agree 100%. The only silver lining out of this is maybe exposing guys like Hipwood to different roles & positions. Might come a day when we need to swap Hipwood & Andrews from back to forward. Having this versatility would be tremendous. Fitzroy turned forwards Paxman & Caven into decent...

    Unofficial Preview Changes/discussion Round 20, Pineapple Grapple.

    I'd like to see Morris play in defence, alongside Hippy & Lester. Morris has the footy smarts, the nous & pace to keep up with the Sun's 2nd or 3rd string key forwards. Only thing he may not have is the stamina or concentration to defend for a full game. I'd plonk Oscar in the goalsquare at FF...

    Oh bugger it! I'm gonna ring the Western Bulldogs to see if we can borrow the Rory Lobster for the weekend. Desperate measures for desperate times!

    Unofficial Preview Changes/discussion Round 20, Pineapple Grapple.

    On this week's game, it will be tough as the Suns play so well at this ground. But have a look to see who they have beaten at home this year: Richmond Adelaide Hawthorn - During their bad start period West Coast North Geelong - Probably their best win of the year Essendon Collingwood Port...

    If Harris is out, I'd like to see Hipwood go back, Oscar & Fort to alternate between the ruck & forward line. Leave Joe up forward all game.

    Preview Round 17 - Brisbane Lions vs. Adelaide Crows

    I'm concerned about Lester picking up Fogarty again. Fogarty turned that last game in the 4th quarter. Lester couldn't keep up with him. He took some easy marks. He seems to be too strong for Lester. Hopefully Lester will have learnt from the last outing.

    Recommitted Charlie Cameron [Signs until 2028]

    He is one of those players who can be having a bad game, but can bob up & change the momentum with a couple of quick goals. His run & clearing of the Melbourne forward line. in the dying seconds of that game on Friday night was crucial.

    Recommitted Charlie Cameron [Signs until 2028]

    Now that Charlie is staying, I hear from undisclosed sources that Freo are turning their attention to Mitch Clark. Will the Purple People Eaters NEVER give up?

    I reckon that Josh Battle would be a good pick up for us as the 3rd tall back. Unrestricted free agent as well. He would fit in nicely in our backline.
