I could understand the Lions being asked to contribute to BHA upgrade but it is some real backwards thinking to get them and cricket to significantly contribute to a temporary solution that they will never be a part of beyond 2029. WTF, must be a lot more to play out over the next few months.

I really hope he has a big jump in performance that we're celebrating him achieving what he is capable of but I honestly think we will only see a minor improvement. He's got the skills, we've all seen it in patches his whole career. His fitness is just not at the level of the stars of the...

Would you stick around to play for the lions if you have to play home games at the GC and a few in a suburb of Ipswich for years? If we are still shuffling players and coaches around in 2026 chasing our 1st premiership with this group, we're not going to be the most appealing club for those in...

Strong disagree with managing Neale at this stage of his career. If you're winning the brownlow, you're unlikely to need to have your body managed.

Yeah, those 5 trips is a bit of a stitch up. 1 more game at the MCG and it would probably be an ok fixture.

Are we consistently getting out coached? This is a pretty big call for a team that generally had games won in the 3rd quarter. Unless you're in the know with assistant coaches, I think it's impossible to make statements of us needing high level footy credentials...do none of our assistants...

That face is triggering :sweatsmile: 2013 is when we hit rock bottom and we pretty much stayed there till 2016. Our average losing margin in 2016 was just terrible, our game plan meant that teams were always getting goals out the back. The game against the Eagles early in that year was a good...

M14 row A for me....front row right?

Yep, as expected.

Booked flights a week ago with a mate who's also going to the NRL final the next day. Just got a good feeling about Lions and Broncos in the grand final.

Sharp and Brain look like players that will get games over the next few years. Not so sure about the others based on tonights game.

I won't be surprised if he goes. Someone would have to promise him a starting midfield position to get him to move though. You would be pretty stupid letting something like that slip before you are likely to play in a finals series and potentially a grand final.

Have my doubts about Dev touring their facilities. I thought touring another clubs facilities in season isn't allowed. Anything goes as soon as the clubs season is finished but it's not something I can recall any of our players previously doing or players we're trying to target.

Where and how Cam plays is good problem to have but it will be disappointing to still be talking about it next year.. His skill set and fitness still says he plays as the 3rd tall forward better than other positions. His 1st half of the season had some good performances but there's only been one...

A number of people are locked onto their ideas so there's no point. Old mate in front of me yesterday reminds me every game "Why don't they play man on man, the lions always let players run free, they need to learn how to defend!". Says the same things every week. Their losses to the Pies...

They generally talk about the opposition, this just happens to be a team that one of them knows quite well and sharing what King said after the match was good to hear. The more I see of your posts the more I realise this must actually be trolling? If not, don't listen to their podcast if it's...

Whatever happens...I really hope the compensation to the club is fair. They are financially in a really good position ATM and this really throws a few unknowns with memberships and crowd attendances. Andrews, Hipwood, Dunkley, Mcluggage, Ah Chee and Berry will all be at the end of their career...

Agree with what you're saying about it being put back on the players. Lester and Andrews should be able to organise the defence as well as our defensive midfielders to respond better. If we're waiting for a coaches message every time a team has good momentum against us then we are cooked. I was...

Never said fans don't have a right to be annoyed, that's why I said I get that it's a frustrating loss.

You might be the most negative poster on the lions forum ATM McIvor. Hope you've got something else in life that gives you joy because it aint footy based on the thoughts you share on here.

The expectations of a number of peeps on here are unrealistic. We're one of the best teams and we're exciting to watch most of the time. If a premiership = the only true measure of success then you're going to be disappointed at least 95% of the rest of your time supporting this club and maybe...

Reversion to the mean for the Pies. Couple of dodgy decisions against the Blues early in the game, now they're all going their way.

I don't have concerns about our fitness, it looks like a bit of composure/drop in concentration that means we aren't finishing games off as well as we could. Late game accuracy is a theme I've found looking back over our games a bit closer. This season, we've had more games (compared to Port and...

It's good to hear from someone who actually might have a clue about this. I don't know when it started but Berry's shoulders being so bad he can't play in the midfield is stated as fact around here by a few. Andrews is another one that had a few comments in the past about his knees not able to...

I think it was around this time last year that we had some pretty unconvincing form all the way till the last round. The general impression was that we could score pretty heavily but only 3-4 goals more than we could defend and it was the ease other teams sliced through us. The two losses...

What are you basing this on? 99% of people on here have very little idea what goes on in the club. How do you know we don't already have quality? Why are the assistant coaches not good enough? Why is changing them going to make the difference?

I was devastated last night but not as critical as other losses we've had. Anything less than 5 goals against another team in the top 4 is not going to be a safe lead. Max Gawn was incredible last night, we need to find a better way of dealing with that to be better for next time.

If I had to put $ on this game, I'd tip the Demons by 7 points. If Dunkley was playing, I'd tip us by the same margin. If we do lose, I hope it's because of a bit of inaccuracy or dodgy umpiring decisions late in the game, not because we didn't play our best footy.

He's got to perform in September at the MCG so may as well get him used to it now.

I watched this on Kayo on Friday but assume it's gone now. Was brilliant when they kept playing the lions theme song as Richo was talking and then he stormed off saying he'd had enough. Hodgey called him a sore loser.
