he would make anything look good. but seriously, this looks like we're commemorating something to do with National Storage!

Fantastic news. Let's just hope he doesn't want to be a dancer!

What drongo didn't think this through? Of course the greater number of games a player notches up, the greater the chance of him reaching this threshold. So this penalises a veteran (who doesn't have a track record of a thug). Darryl deserves a medal for still going strong at 38. The irony is...

Loved his aggression. Homegrown and a loyal Lion. Well done Jamie.

I'd like a big target painted on it! Seriously though, i've noticed that at night games it's often difficult to make out the players across the other side of the ground, against so many yellow and dark red seats in the stadium. Maybe it's just my aging eyes - or the fact that there are too many...

I'm with you Radiotron. I loathe this fake hoopla. It was downright embarrassing at the Swans game a couple of weeks ago when there was so little sign of any passion from our players. It all started a couple of years ago with the flushing toilet and amateur actors dressed up in totally...

where's that face paw image when you need it?!

But one of his most admirable qualities was his on-field leadership, especially with the younger players. And as has been said previously, some of the big names being suggested here would probably be beyond our financial capacity. I do like Quigley's idea of the Coaching Consultant though...

Our current team should watch these over and over. They need to learn about team things. Can't remember too many shepherds this season.

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers". (Henry VI, Part 2)

It was Manny Lynch behind Vossy on the bench.

Contrivance never works. Like a couple of years when the club got some neophyte actors to dress up in fairy costumes and the like and walk around the crowd. Pathetic! Just got to let some things emerge organically. (One of the great chant leaders I can remember from several years back was...

pleased to see someone else puts Pikey in the list. Now, I'd like to see that!

A classic Brennan moment. Cracked me up. I agree with Luthor...His good work now far outweighs his f***-ups. Up until last season I thought Brennan was only interested in doing the party tricks. But last season I thought he had a much more mature approach, and lately he has been working his...

Shame on you, BrownDog, casting such aspersions on marmosets.

Speaking of Premiership cups, when I was at the Chalk before the Collingwood game, I noticed that the 2002 Cup was missing from the shrine. Perhaps Vossy borrowed it for the night to wave in front of Rocca and talk about goals and behinds. Seriously though, where is the cup?!!

Are you kidding? Your giving it to obnoxious opposition supporters is an important part of our great game. Wouldn't miss it for quids!

Couldn't agree more. They don't all have to be wins to make them memorable. This game was a battle all night. Looking at victorious games outside of the grand finals 01-03, my other favourites are the 2003 Preliminary Final at SCG (Pikey was brilliant!) and the heritage round that year v...

Couldn't agree more. I've found it so frustrating these past couple of years to see so little defensive pressure in our forward 50. It used to be fantastic to see the way McRae would chase and tackle - something that always seemed to lift the whole team too. Would be great to see him back here...

Given the age of Simon and Luke, I wouldn't mind seeing one of the younger brigade brought in as a vice-captain also. Adcock?

my thoughts also. I get a comforting warm glow every time I see Keating there talking to our rucks.

I'm over my panic now. Had confirmation from Lions office late yesterday that the game is definitely at Telstra Dome (won't have to change my flights and accommodation now). Info on Lions website drawn directly from AFL website - which had it wrong! Sorry if alarmed anyone.

Has anyone noticed that the fixture on AFL website and Lions website now shows the Essendon game at ANZ Stadium instead of Telstra Dome. Has there been a change of name for TD, or does this mean the game is at ANZ (Telstra) Stadium in Sydney? If the latter, then it means just 4 games in...

I'm on the same wavelength, Dr Pea. Would love to see him back with us in a coaching role. Steely in his approach to the game and a terrific mentor to the younger guys. I reckon he was the best surprise recruit of all time. (I think he was still coaching Hastings (?) this year.)

No need to maintain 5 in my opinion. I like the sound of Brown captain, with Black and Power vice-captains - with Nige in a "Yoda" role rounding out the group.

26 in October. doesn't time fly when you're having fun! One moment he's a teenager ("the only teenager on the ground" - 2001 grand final), next he's mid-career. Let's just hope he has many many full seasons to come.

I couldn't agree more with your last two statements. Fly used to wear his "chase-tackle-lock it in the forward 50" style as a badge of honour. I'd love to see someone doing a bit more of what he used to do. At the moment I'd be thrilled if they just had a real go, take some risks and stop being...

Just ask Pikey...something about bunk-beds and sleeping with the light on?

do yourself a favour and see a stage production of The Club if you get the chance. There's a production of it touring some parts of the country this year... in Brisbane in September.
