getting a Premiership Medal, great story.

Shame for the Big O, but thats the fickle fate of sports.

Just remember a possible pick 1 to the lions at the draft and the best player in the coates league final for nothing

Facts are they aren’t getting them for “nothing”. It’s not clear why people keep thinking they are free.

Good on them, as a club they have been pillaged over the journey. Swings and roundabouts. It does mean they are a top 8 side for the next decade.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Nice to be gifted a second-year Norm Smith Medallist because his dad played for the club a few decades earlier.

 

[Barrybran]

Hardly peanuts. But it will keep them going.

Interesting the players they bought in over the journey

Daniher
Neale
Dunkley
Cameron

It wasn’t all the draft, they got some stars in

We need to emulate the same.

All with different stories as well

Sick of Melbourne
Remuneration / respect
Role
Went home

Norm Smith votes

Surprised Ashcroft won so comfortably

No votes for Starcevich

 

[Lia]

I think he worked for WCE in '06...

We need more Q Sticks in the comp

 

[Smeg Head]

5 players in the year lost to ACL injuries as well at the Lions. Its really been an amazing all of club effort for them.

Ah Chee with votes from all five voters is pretty solid

 

[KERRPOW]

The boys better unsync their wotsapp before the footy trip.

Shits gonna be wild.

The issue isn’t that they’re getting him for nothing, it’s that they get first dibs on someone who would probably go Pick 1 otherwise, in a Premiership year.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Can say my respect for big Oscar has sky rocketed, he seems genuinely ecstatic for everyone instead of being sour grapes as they usually are

 

[archiemoses]

Brisbane Ballalions

 

[Keys]

He’s not the youngest NS medalist Richo

 

[KERRPOW]

The Lions' hat guy looks serious. Making sure everyone shakes the kids' hands (not a bad thing really).

He forgot to tell cameron

 

[DorothyG]

He’s not the youngest NS medalist Richo

Never let facts get in the way of a good story

 

[KERRPOW]

I do love fairytales like this Darcy Fort getting a Premiership Medal, great story.

Shame for the Big O, but thats the fickle fate of sports.

Kudos to big O for being so upbeat and looking genuinely stoked.

Cementing himself as the second best footballer in his family

Yep i remember tay tay adams last year and gaffy in 2018

Nice gift from gold coast for a packet of chips

Rub of the green. I don’t see the issue at all. Now we should make a special case for a “premiership” team?

Why is that the new line in the sand?

Either we have father sons or not. Jealousy and envy is the issue.

 

[Seadog]

Kudos to big O for being so upbeat and looking genuinely stoked.

Pretty impressed with him heading to Darcy Fort first, basically telling him it's alright to go crazy and celebrate.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Love father son.

Only compromise of the draft I don't mind.

Let's get excited for Banners Jnr kents

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Pretty impressed with him heading to Darcy Fort first, basically telling him it's alright to go crazy and celebrate.

Thought The Big O oozed class, super impressive.

Did not expect a VFL defence on this board
