Hope it doesn’t happen but I can see Lions missing top 8. Tough draw and I don’t think people realise what a big loss Joe is. Also, there are a lot of contenders this year. The only teams I don’t think can make the top 8 are: North Tigers Bombers Saints Adelaide West Coast Port Adelaide

Port “Alan Bond” Adelaide

The only issue I have is that we were 4 years late!

That was pretty good

our strategy is to kick long into forward 50 in the first half. We do this to ensure the opposition can’t rebound out. Unfortunately it means we are often taking snap shots etc and makes us look inaccurate as a lot of time it’s a quick low percentage kick. As the points build up this puts...

I think I know the game you are talking about. If it is that game, I watched that game in disbelief at how Mitch Robinson played that day. I have never seen anyone put their body on the line that day more than Robbo did. He got belted from pillar to post but kept on fronting up and tacking and...

When we were sitting in empty stands watching the Lions loosing the game by Quarter time and struggling to string 3 possessions together I couldn’t imagine being in two GFs in a row. Well done coaches!

Logan Morris forward pressure tackling was unreal!

My 13 year old son yelled at the TV - who is this man when Lester burst out of defence again! He was best player on park last night.

When is team announced?

AA lost all credibility last year when Lachie Neale wasn’t picked but won the Brownlow! It’s embarrassing Harris wasn’t picked.

For me the All Australian Team lost all credibility when Lachie Neale didn’t get picked last year and then won the Brownlow. They don’t usually pick wingers but last year picked Josh Daicos ahead of Neale which I think everyone would agree is laughable. How anyone feels comfortable putting...

I’m pretty sure Worpel trained with the Lions a few times leading up to the draft. Apparently in an internal match game he tore it up. Then when the lions didn’t draft him with any of their picks I was shocked! Then he comes out and was Hawthorns best player. Definitely one that got away by...

Anyone want to defend tbe skill level this week? BOTH teams were embarrassingly bad.

I’m not questioning their athletic ability. It is very high. But I stand by my thoughts on skill level and lack of practice. I remember reading the All Black Grant Fox book. He would go to Eden Park EVERY DAY during his lunch bread in the 1980s (yes he had a full time job) and kick goals for an...

The skill level of AFL players is deplorable compared to other professional sports. It’s just not the Brisbane Lions missing shots in front, it’s the whole league. How players consistently handball to other players feet from 5 metres and how can so many players be drafted and not be able to kick...

I haven’t watched the game. How did Smith go?

Thanks for doing this each week. When we were rising off the bottom of the ladder 6/7 years ago this was religious viewing for me each week.

That was so dumb from Josh Daicos. Should have just run the clock down

I have grave concerns for Witho’s and Thomas berry afl careers

I see Lester playing on next year. I think his year this year has been just as good as any others. He stays in his lane and plays his role perfectly. Exactly what you want from a third tall defender.

I like prior but one thing that I noticed last time he had a few games in the 1sts and he did it again today is that he quite often doesn’t take the first disposal option after a mark. He lets the defence get set then Kicks to a contest down the line which we invariably lose and we are hard on...

Massive game. Based on my ladder predictor we only need to win 2 from remaining 4 to make top 4 if we win today.

My prediction is we will dominate down back and Harris won’t get another look in for the rest of the season!

This just adds to the theatre. Season of ACLs, no defenders, lost 5 of first 7, then won last 15 games straight to win premiership.

Don’t forget Lester

At some point Fagan needs to come on Bigfooty and take our advice. Many of us have been singing the praises of Brain and Morris. I think this week he will start both. As a coach he is a little bit behind us but as long as he gets there in the end that’s ok.

Thanks. What position Sam Marshall

I’m not across any of our likely plans for this years draft. Can anyone summarise what we are likely to do as far as f/s and academy picks (and what pick they are likely to go) and what we are likely to do from a trading picks for points.
