2018 pre season

[Gadzorks]

Know its not Lions related but sitting at Sunshine Coaat Airport with all the Dogs players. I'm about 5 metres from Josh Schache. Any messages for him?

Thanks mate. You made way for guys who really want to be here and are comitted to turning themselves and their comitted mates into a top class team. Hope Collingwood or wherever it was you ended up works out for you.

And that's enough of the schache talk. It's been all covered before no need to go over it again.

So Richy is finally elite according to champion data.

Yep finally played a season primarily in one position. Certainly best season since knee injury.

I hate to quote myself but I'm not sure what about the above wasn't clear enough for people. 10 deleted posts later. Next one gets a holiday

I for one am keen to see a Hipwood Walker forwardline combo.

Halker...Or Wipwood...Wip it good...

 

[James North]

Still no new injury news ... crossing fingers but it’s good to have most of the list available.

Answer is 'A Western Bulldogs player who started his career with the Brisbane Lions'.

Clever boy. foiled my ruse. Although I was thinking of Aker.

Enough time has passed. Aker celebration

Some would say Aker had the affliction of verbal diarrhea...

Speaking of Aker, who would be the closest to him on the list right now? Lewy? Maybe Witho with his kicking? Zorko obviously, and maybe Raynor might show some similar qualities with time.

We really don't have anyone close to him, though that goes for 17 other teams. For all the shit off the field he was a one of a kind on the field.

Well we will now know who to blame.

Just me, or does anyone else get annoyed by the acronym used in the title; "GOTYS". It should be GOTY, whether it was one or three.

Izak Rankine.

FFS....Some people just don't get it mate. I could write another post a mile long with detailed responses to the various comments about him on the last few pages, but have said most of it all before. Leave the poor bugger alone!

Fox Footy’s crystal ball: 18 fearless predictions for the 2018 AFL season

• by BEN WATERWORTH, RILEY BEVERIDGE AND SARAH OLLE

Relevant bits for us:

LIONS IN FINALS RACE UNTIL AUGUST
IT sounds silly to make such a bold call on this season’s wooden spoon winners. But Chris Fagan is building something pretty special at the Lions.

The sage recruitment of Luke Hodge and Charlie Cameron will only enhance the club’s developing list, which includes emerging stars such as Eric Hipwood, Alex Witherden and Hugh McCluggage.

While it’s unlikely Brisbane will make the final eight, they’ll give 2018 a red-hot crack. And potentially break some hearts along the way — including their fellow Queenslanders the Gold Coast Suns, who’ll win the wooden spoon.

LION CROWNED AFL’S LATEST RISING STAR
HE showed glimpses of his potential late in 2017, but Alex Witherden will prove just how talented he is with a full 2018 campaign that will earn him the Rising Star award.

In his nine games last season, Witherden was ranked first among rising stars for average disposals, ranking points, metres gained and rebounds. He racked up at least 18 disposals in each match — an excellent achievement considering the Lions won just two of those nine games.

Expect Witherden to better those numbers in 2017 and reap the benefits of Brisbane’s much-improved on-field output.

I agree, if we can win more home games than we lose, and be competitive with the teams around us (Carlton, GC, North, etc.).

Wish the season would start. Excited!
