    Unofficial Preview Round 21, 2025 v Collingwood @ MCG, August 3rd, 7.35pm.

    Talent. We oooze it. Watch nearly any other team and you realise just how lucky we are to have the players we have. Some of the natural ability these guys possess is so amazing to watch, and Fages philosophy of using your weapons has meant we have built a team that is shaped around those skills...

    Game Day Round 20, 2025 - Gold Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

    Shit. I was just going to say we need to lose a ruck and get Marshall on. Now we'll be extra slow and tall when the rain comes. This 2 ruck idea needs ego. Make a choice and stick with it. Neither option is great tbh but both are a liability.

    Such an odd feeling to see us really play so well only to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at our own doing again. That could easily have been the 3rd game we threw away this season. But I will take that win any day!! So good to see Wash lift his defensive efforts and get rewarded last...

    Game Day Round 19, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Western Bulldogs

    100%.... such big holes to fill against a team like the dogs with such scoring power. Let's hope the mids turn up, apply pressure and tackle. If we do that we'll be ok I reckon.

    A thread on politics- have some balls and post

    I just can't help but wonder how either desperate or foolish or selfish you had to be to support this idiot in the first place. This implosion was inevitable. The battle lines between Maga and Project 2025 were being drawn up 18 months ago. Steve Bannon openly stated there would be a battle to...

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    I think you're right with these 2... I still worry that our defense is leaky, especially with our only real lock down defender out. I have wondered if Bez doesn't get swung back a bit more from here on?

    Gee the whole Alligator Alcatraz thing over there is just terrifying. I just can't believe this is where we are at. What's worse are the gleeful media and Maggats celebrating the construction of a concentration camp in record time. One with no access to showers and toilets. One where beds are...

    On thinking about it, I reckon Brain will get a recall. He'd be the closest we have to a direct replacement and has a bit of experience to go with it.

    Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    Yeah you are both right... Oscar looked almost timid at times. But to be fair I watched Starce pull up half a step before a big contest too once or twice last night after he got a knock. It would be impossible to come back into full contact sport and not question the outcome of every hit once...

    The hole Noz leaves is huge... just the lock down, no fuss, negator that just works and works and works... I really don't think there's a replacement for him despite the supposed depth the media seem to think we have. His inclusion made the difference last year and his loss may be the same...

    Game Day Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

    I feel like at times our defenders play way too high trying to cover the mids - we just seem disorganised down back somehow. Maybe if a couple of mids actually laid a tackle they wouldn't feel the need...

    You mean like this TACO??? https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/26/trump-trade-tariffs-deadline.html And now you have the truly sober Hegseth berating the media because they keep reporting the truth instead of what they are told... Nothing to see here from the quasi dictatorship...

    This whole situation in the middle east is such a complicated mess a simpleton like the Orange Menace will never understand it... To be honest I'm not sure any of us in the west ever will. And despite his Truth Social declarations I doubt it's anything like over. When the man ignores his own...

    Review Round 15, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    You're right Geelong were down... but do you not put at least some of the hesitation and second guessing down to our "pressure"? And I use pressure loosely in the sense it wasn't all out tackle pressure as such but once we had intercepted a stack of ball early in the game, Geelong second...

    Review Round 15, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

    So good to see such an even contribution across the team - it's really hard to pick a player who was down (I could do with Zorko not turning the pill over so much), and it highlighted how good we are when we spread the load. Our best is sublime footy... I said a while back it was better than...

    Preview Breaking the final hoodoo - Geelong v Brisbane Lions (Friday, 20 June 2025, 740pm)

    Didn't really think Fages would do too much... Oscar still being out says a lot about where he's at. If Levi isn't sub but I will start questioning whether or not Marcus is part of the mafia... :think:

    I can't see Iran failing ever being the case... I think the Middle East is ripe to make this count if the USA sticks it's bib in. If you cut one head off another will rise, more radicalized and more focused on revenge. Like Ukraine, the US is happy to have others fight its wars and do it's...

    Preview Breaking the final hoodoo - Geelong v Brisbane Lions (Friday, 20 June 2025, 740pm)

    I just don't know what to think if I'm honest. Experience and evolution of a team logically suggests that if your age profile is OK you should either remain the same or get better with each year. I watch us this year and we have the same issues we have had for years. Talent out the wazoo...

    150% I was listening to a podcast the other day and they pretty much concluded that Biden's entire political history will come down to his decision to run again... and what a clusterf*ck that decision was. The only upside to this whole mess is that when they finally find a way to get rid of...

    Preview Round 14 Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants, Saturday 1:20pm @ The Gabba

    Bit disappointed for Ty but understand the logic... his time will come quickly enough I think. Really happy to see Starc back but I will hold my breath anytime he goes in hard for the ball for a few games I reckon. Hopefully there's no lasting effects. The Oscar thing is a crock. Why even name...
