    The fact that they've kept it under wraps and well and truly in house is what worries me.

    The positives thread

    I remember Lynchy playing many games/periods of games on ball for Fitzroy in the early '90's. He didn't move to full time forward till 1993. Roosy still maintains he was acknowledged by the players as the best player in the game for a time at Fitzroy. Hence the unprecedented 10 year contract the...

    We need to talk about Oscar

    Lethal threw him in there to toughen him up. But all it did was petrify him.

    The positives thread

    When Lynchy played full back for Fizroy he was very much a feared opponent. Some of his battles with Lockett were legendary contests at the time. So he had a lot on Logan physically.

    The positives thread

    Which is quite incredible seeing he made his name as a full back and then an on baller at Fitzroy and then was debilitated for around 5 years with chronic fatigue.

    We need to talk about Oscar

    Apologies ,of course Mickan only played for the Bears ,not the merged entity. My memory has gone too far back.

    We need to talk about Oscar

    Fwiiw I think Mark Mickan was the best pure ruckman to play for us and IIRC won an AA when at the Bears which was somewhat of an achievement when you look at the top rucks in the AFL at the time

    Has everyone forgotten the great father/son combo Damian and Jordon Bourke ?

    One ACL with full recovery in someone as diligent to his preparation as Will should be no problem. Same knee again is a problem. Doedee did his the second time on the opposite knee which is why we ticked him off. Reports are Will is fitter and a lot stronger than last year so what he needs now...

    Nip it in the bud before we have another Gunners type load of drivel that goes on and on and bores everyone else to tears.

    Will could have a blinder if form on the track has any impact on game day form.

    Fritsch vs Morris. Honestly who gives a tinkers cuss. Illogical comparison at this stage. Might turn out to be at any stage.

    Melbourne are crap ,lost their way ,internal issues , many players who got ahead of themselves and now have to start doing something to save embarrassment. We're starting to get our best squad , added a couple of promising players and have an achievable challenge ahead by stringing a few wins...

    Toast Logan Morris - Rising Star !!!!!!!!

    Has now made himself permanently undroppable. Smart move.

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    Without knowing for sure I would think that's correct. You never know though , let's see if he starts turning up to games.

    Toast Logan Morris - Rising Star !!!!!!!!

    He doesn't seem the type to get a big head but just the same toning it down a little would help him.

    A few guys on here seem to love highlighting every little brain fade and forget that he carried us for a long time and was the only really classy player we had . So he got targeted and had to absorb the physical pressure and all of the blanketing tactics that were thrown at him. I thought he...

    Review Round 15, 2024 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    They seemed to play with plenty of passion most times I've watched them and the inside word is some of their guys were crook on the weekend. They haven't made that excuse publicly.

    But that's what's made him a great player. If he didn't have that fire he would never have overcome being overlooked in 6 drafts nor being the smallest guy on the ground in the worst team.

    Prediction 2024 Fixture Predictions

    Maybe one day it will dawn on the AFL that without the clubs with reasonably low supporter bases you can't have clubs with mammoth supporter bases. They have to play somebody. If you publicise ,promote and give considerable advantages to the most popular clubs first of all you jeopardise the...

    Review Round 15, 2024 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

    Kenny's W/L record is outstanding , eclipsing some of the accepted greats of coaching such as Sheedy ,Parkin,Matthews and others. Maybe the reason he hasn't won a flag is that he overachieved through the seasons with what he had . I always thought that. But once you've been there for 12 years...

    What do you want out of season 24?

    Change of plan After Logan Morris repositioning ourselves to only get picks in the 30's.

    What do you want out of season 24?

    I'll be elated if we finish Top 4. But just in the back of my mind is 2001 and there's a rough hope we keep stringing wins together if we actually are the real deal .

    Non Lions Discussion 2024

    They knew all about him and he didn't hold a gun at their head. They seriously believed in a 5 year dynasty with him as a pivotal player. Petracca and Gawn have always been the keys for them . With May and Lever fine until everyone worked out their achilles heel.

    There's only one thing that has me remotely concerned about this week. After 18 months the media has finally worked out that Melbourne are just a bog average side once they started believing their own BS. And all of a sudden we're very good again. This is a circumstance we haven't been all...

    Wow. He's not that good anymore , has created issues within the club and is on well over a mill a year. If it wasn't for the media how would anyone have picked that up so early.

    The most significant factor for us this year has been Berry to the midfield. All of a sudden Neale and Dunkley are racking up numbers and looking dangerous. McCluggage is owning the outside. With Will back who knows .Potentially we could have a dominant midfield
