I want a good draw for 2025 which I guess means I don't want us to play finals because I think we're no chance after the Hawks loss. If we win all our home games and then have competitive losses away then I think that's a realistic aim for the rest of the year. It's hard to imagine Rayner...

Two things you can lock in every year. The Hawks will beat us and Rayner will continue to stink it up. Charlie's goal kicking doesn't look like it's just confidence. Surely he has some kind of ankle/foot injury to be missing goals the way he is. It's not like he's just missing, it's a long way...

Disagree that there isn't any excuse Rye. You've got a group of men born between late 80's and early 2000's who used these slurs or had them said to them throughout a lot of their school and footy life. A behaviour that was acceptable for 90% of their lives, now isn't. Not saying they shouldn't...

Someone might be able to find the thread that it's in but there is a ?west coast supporter who I assume is a physiotherapist that has gone into detail about ACL's and flexibility. There was a video of Naitanui in a gym that he was pointing out the lack of flexibility in his ankles putting more...

I didn't notice it at the game but some of the defensive efforts by players not known for it were really encouraging to see. Neale getting back and tackling ?Reid 10 metres out from goal and getting back to help out the defensive 50 a lot in the 2nd quarter. Hipwood and Danniher chasing hard...

Is this a bot? This account seems to say variations of the same thing all over this board.

As much as I want to see some new players in the team to get a look at our depth. Our forward line is :poo: and our midfield aren't playing to the level that they are capable of. The team needs to get back to playing how they know they can and with confidence and then bring in whoever we want to...

Both grand finalist's strengths have been taken away from them. Collingwood has been figured out with their scoring from rebounding out of defence which was mentioned on one of the radio shows during the week but they've found another way to play. It's not working for them as well as last year...

I know it's not going to make much difference but surely you give up on the Gardiner up forward. He looks slow and awkward. He's kicked 1 goal, 2 behinds, averages 2 inside 50's a game and has had 4 goal assists in his 6 games. Overwhelming evidence that it's not his position. Seeing Darcy...

I hope he stays. Hugh is our only player who can kick a perfectly weighted ball inside 50. Everyone else just kicks it in hope. He's worth more to us than any other team.

Yikes! We are way more experienced. No pressure. Reminds me of when we were always the club with the GWS age and games experience.

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that I said we will just sit on our hands? Quite a pessimistic view to say that it hasn't worked for 6 years don't you think? Bottom side to consistent top 4 with a win/loss record that is up there with the best in recent times isn't too bad. Strong...

Amazing how a few losses can bring out the new coach chat. I can't see Fagan possibly finishing up with the lions until end of next season at the earliest if things continue to go poorly. Unless we go on to lose every game from here for this season then he would be a chance. New coach that the...

Agree it's hard to get a read on much but we got tonight wrong with tactics. That's on our leaders and Fagan 100%. Season isn't over, we could scrape into 8th position but it's a pretty big fall.

I could have the exact game wrong but didn't we use this ball movement tactic against the Demons last year? We were double switching at times to keep moving their players so they could never set up for the intercept mark and it was acknowledged by the commentators as well.

Agreed. There's no doubt that the way Zorko was stitched up and the follow up trial by media he copped is something that would get some of our players wanting a bit of revenge. Everyone played their role, the game was won and what's wrong with rubbing a bit of salt in the wound. I put my hand...

If Charlies vibe is back up and running, so is mine. Lions by 7 points.

Story of Rich continuing in an off-field role was late last year. Never saw anything over the pre-season of him involved with the club so could have been at any point in the last 4 months that he left. Looks like any possible thing is going to be looked into and interpreted as a negative about...

I think Brisbane has more than enough protected areas, there is a significant amount of green space and protected forests. If green space loss becomes a concern for majority of the public then the Government will acquire inner city land over time to create more green space. They can do it but...

I asked a few people at my work what they thought about it too. These were people who would only attend the occasional rugby union game but no cricket or AFL. They weren't too fussed but everyone laughed at QSAC being the location of the athletics. I wonder if the Labor Government thought that...

This doesn't suit the story iBeng would like. :smirk:

I don't see how he pissed off the media and it didn't seem like they were coming for him either. It was a pretty fair assessment to say Neale didn't slam or bake his team mates as the headline's read. End result for his rant might mean some journalists use less click bait on lions stories or it...

You already have formed an opinion. If your opinion is getting worse then I don't know why you bother watching the press conferences. They are not somewhere you'll ever get answers from our coach. What even makes someone a premiership coach that you can tell the difference? If anyone actually...

I haven't been able to find this anywhere? On another note, I skimmed through the report which really covers all venues and not anywhere does it mention a Suncorp upgrade so this was never a recommendation. This is just an idea that our current Government and Coates have from all I can see...

Footy fans can be so weird. We've got a coach who has got us off the bottom off the ladder and then into top 4 multiple seasons and we weren't that far off a grand final win. We've had 2 really disappointing losses and there are plenty already writing him off and the same old questioning his...

The politics of this are frustrating. Mismanaged from the very start and now the NIMBY's and greens have got enough attention that it becomes very challenging for the new state Government to do anything other than these very minor upgrades and maintenance costs. Just like it was mentioned in the...

A good midfield group has probably covered up how bad big O really is. I thought the criticism was a touch harsh last year at times but gee he doesn't seem to offer much. Today a number of taps were just nowhere near our players, that torp, can't cover his man in defence and not a good target...

Yeah agreed. There's no doubt that Fagan would have some weaknesses but he cops it all when anything goes wrong. When a team has momentum, it's pretty hard to make one change that is going to stop it other than winning the footy ourselves and intercepting attacks. Fagan can't control that. I...

I feel like the Vic park plan makes too much sense so it won't be the recommendation and we'll somehow end up with a staged rebuild of the Gabba. The public would benefit the most from Vic park but are there enough dodgy mates that are getting looked after $$ by the Government not replacing the...

There is a housing crisis but you can look back decades and find similar stories about it. It's hard to actually know if this is much worse than it's ever been or it's the news that gets everyone fired up so the story continues. The money would be better spent on a hospital argument doesn't...
