Was thinking for all the non-Lions (and non-Pies) supporters popping in wishing us well for the GF, there's a quick way to make some money here. Hopefully for the club but whatever. Obviously there's not enough time logistically this year with 4 days left, but hopefully this might be a 'next...
Given that most umpires seem to know 4 or 5 Lions players at best, it must annoy them that we win some 15 plus times a season and they are essentially forced to grant votes to our players instead of their Victorian faves.
Lachie is usually at the bottom of most packs handing the ball up to the...
When I first saw the thread title my mind instantly went to 'the Adelaide game from 2016'.
I personally had a massive crossroads moment around that time. I was sports mad (far more than now) and watched almost every game of every round. Then I watched hundreds of hours of cricket and NBA each...
Two and a half worth of Bourne movies and 32,000 refreshes and finally a win.
Never been so happy to see my credit card hit the red before.
3X P2 tix - Cat 5. Nosebleeds but a hell of a lot closer than I am in WA right now!
Go Lions
With two Vic based players getting off/reduced penalties, counting down until the GWS Port game. AFL get the chance to penalise someone and make it stick to prove they are not toothless and will certainly use a non-Vic team to do it!
Richy made me audibly giggle in pre-emptory delight with those handball receives 60m out. You just knew it was sailing through. No other Lion has elicited this response as consistently for nearly as long - even Charlie.
Also, I remember the Lions Youtube thing with Rockliff where Rocky...
Robertson, Lohmann and Fullarton were all at training today.
Also got it from the horse's (Lachie) that he got scratched up quite a bit last week at the hands (claws?) of Touk Miller.
Short, dumb, story. Many seasons ago - I think 2014 - my son was the onfield mascot for Lions at the Gabba v the Blues. He was 7.
He was briefed before the game to run through the banner with the team, do a half circle (like 50m) and run back through the goals to mum and dad. Instead, he ran...
I hate that they keep the '36 of 41 wins at home' over however long that is (must be the 4th season). Mainly because we have had three trips to the Gabba in that time (from WA) and have been to 3 of the 5 losses.
The GWS final was exciting and worth it for the experience even with the poor...
Can't touch a ball for 6 weeks? So he can play AFL games then?
(Note: It's just a dumb joke. I like McStay. He served us well and left to be overpaid. Good luck to him.)
I'm sure I could add years if I stopped drinking, or pizza, or practically everything that provides even momentary enjoyment. Show me someone at 70 with no previous or current issues and they are either the most lucky, or (more likely) have had a most bland existence. That opinion is tainted...
Dislocated the knee cap Darren Cresswell style when I was 20 ish playing badminton of all things. But I wasn't tough enough to sit there trying to whack it back in place.
Let's just say when I see the green whistle being handed to an injured player I have an almost Pavlovian envy still some...
I was bone on bone since my late 30s. Previous surgeons thought as a non-athlete the quicker way - removing all cartilage - was easier than painstakingly trimming (bastards).
Was told I needed replacement abt 43 but to 'get to 50 first'. I quit sport and had three really boring years. Ended up...
I figure once I'm in my late 60's or early 70's it's about that time knee replacements happen - it's just I would be on my second.
I'd be lying if I said I haven't daydreamed about a Star Trek type deal where they pass a 'magic stick' over my knee and say 'fixed'. Where is SkyNet technology when...
I'm 48 and sitting at home 14 days since my knee replacement surgery (after 4 previous surgeries in the past 20 years on the same knee).
They don't want to do it pre-50 but will if it is warranted - and in my case it just 'gave up' last November. The surgeon said there was simply no...
