    Review Round 20, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs Carlton

    Great party. The effort people put into their costumes was inspiring. Especially me of course. :P

    Review Round 15, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs Sydney

    I sound like a broken record, but young forwards will struggle to provide well timed leads if we continue to slow down the ball coming out of defence (giving the opposition defence to get back and get structure) due to basic skill errors, fumbles and poor decision making. It's very hard to know...

    Review Round 15, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs Sydney

    You are seeing his point you just don't agree with it. His reading of the playing isn't great, but our play coming out of defence is neither orderly or particularly easy to read, so it's a double whammy. It's hard to blame the young forward entirely when the structure up the ground isn't ideal...

    Review Round 15, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs Sydney

    I'm not so sure about this. I think he needs to learn to read our play coming out of defence better, and how to time his lead(s) based on that. Being led to the ball by a forward who is reading another teams play out of defence won't really help very much with that particular skill set. I know...

    Review Round 15, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs Sydney

    I think it's hard to blame any forwards when our exit from defence isn't very orderly. Yes we get out, but it often had a few false starts and some messy skills which forced a change in direction or slowed down the play so that the swans had time to get back and fill the space. I'm not saying...

    Injuries....Bad luck or something else?

    I know this is tongue in cheek (or jaw? :P), but when you talk to guys who play footy and have just gone past their prime fitness (usually due to a lazy off season) they say things like 'My mind writes cheques my body can't cash anymore. It thinks it can get there, but I'm just a fraction late...

    Review Round 9, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda

    I've been seeing this traditional Chinese therapist/bone setter to help accelerate the healing of my own broken ribs from footy. I asked him if there were any conditioning exercises I could do to strength my rib cage and chest wall to reduce the chances of a broken ribs in future (a 120kg full...

    Review Round 9, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda

    I'm guessing your quoting me but talking to jackness? I'm on the same side of the argument as you. I knew about the broken rib when writing my post, but didn't expect jackness to acknowledge the rib could be a factor so I wanted to address his original argument.

    Review Round 9, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda

    If you had bothered showing me a clip with some context I might've considered giving you some more credit, but you've plucked the worst image you could and made a song and dance about it. Your reaction to this is akin to some kind of atrocity against his team mates, as if showing his...

    Review Round 9, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda

    Squizzy's backward chips in the first quarter, and the whole teams willingness to move backwards then around to come forward what what gave us the romping start to the game IMO.

    Why Lions fans have had enough (From 5/5/2015 Non NSW and QLD club supporters will be carded)

    Both can be true. The Flags weren't a result of concessions, but now the market is much much different to what it was in the mid to late 90s when we were last building a list towards. So we need some kind of hand up to be competitive under these new market conditions. Not clear about those...

    Why Lions fans have had enough (From 5/5/2015 Non NSW and QLD club supporters will be carded)

    Ah yes, and this is such a constructive contribution :p Back to topic though... The stats that Last of the Roys has dilligently provided shows that Lions fans have a good reason to be frustrated with our season starts, but still doesn't explain why it's happening. I think it is different under...

    2015 Brisbane Lions Board Elections - Democracy comes to town Dec 17th

    I would just like to suggest you are spending time with the wrong kinds of politicians and business people if you're saying 'many' of the ones you've met fit that pretty derogatory description you've provided.

    Shameless Movember plug

    For years I've threatened the missus with doing movember, and for years she has countered with "I'm not copping a moustache unless you're actually raising money". She was relying on my time honoured tradition of procrastination to ensure that the Mo would never become a reality. Well this year...

    Video game catchall

    Dude it is amazing. When we had it in star wars I was blown away at how PVP must feel for Americans, I honestly can't believe how many of them are so bad when playing with such a huge advantage. The ability to interrupt properly, or backstab without having to try and run in front of the target...

    I'd like to say it's cos of the stories, but I'm playing SWTOR again for the hutball. And I'm an alt-aholic so rapid leveling is too good to pass up.

    Brighton Homes Arena (Springfield) discussions

    To say you are an expert on soil stability because you live in an area is like saying I'm an expert on internal combustion because I drive a car. We've done a fair bit of demolition in Everton Park over the years. Most areas have pretty standard soil stability. Some areas do not. The houses in...

    Brighton Homes Arena (Springfield) discussions

    Depending on which part of Everton Park it's in the land is pretty unstable, not good for building large state of the art admin/training facilities on.

    Pretty sure Brisbane based members can also get the Vic country membership to get voting rights, that's what I did last year, from memory it was the cheapest option.

    Welcome to Collingwood Jack Crisp

    Big bodied midfielder who can get his own ball and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in the packs. But he's quick enough to run on the outside and break lines. Get's in the right places when you're attacking to finish off a running inside 50 with a goal and has the tank to run defensively...

    List Mgmt. We Got Him! Beams Trade Discussion (Not the Hype Thread)

    It's basically a scorched earth tactic. Because it creates (even more) bad blood between the clubs and basically guarantees a normal deal won't be done. In short it's a pretty risky gamble. I'm not sure exactly how the process works, but I imagine if successful at the grievance tribunal Beams...

    Because his father expressed and explicit desire to see his son's play together. And before you ask, 'why not bring Claye to Collingwood and move his dad to Melbourne as well'... it's because his father's support network (which is so important when battling cancer) is in Brisbane. But by all...
