Coach Lions - Has the Fagan era already peaked?

[Cmarsh]

Well and truly in contention the next couple of years as well given their ins.

And will outgrow the gabba too.

What a fantastic story. Fagan is such a great guy and proved any doubter wrong

 

[Freomaniac]

Plenty of media folk had Lions as flag favourites (before last night).

Currently in 3rd so that says "contender" but when it matters they just cant cut it. Why is this?

2020 Prelim Final - GABBA - 40 point loss to Cats
2021 - Qualifying Final - AO - 33 point loss to Demons
2021 - Semi Final - GABBA - 1 point loss to Dogs
2022 Rd 15 - Round - MCG - 64 point loss to Demons

Last night could have been 100 point loss (16.21 to 7.11)

You poor and unlucky soul.....

page 1 makes for an interesting revisit

I mean, for the OP both the year it was made and the team it is about...

 

[Freomaniac]

Glad Fagan became a Premiership coach too. Yes he is 63 years old.

But Same with the Bashing of Ross Lyon being too old to win his 1st flag. Even though he is only 57 years old

After 7 rounds Geelong were 7-0. Thier next 18 games saw them be 9-9. In contrast Brisbane were 2-5 (big injury list too), they then proceeded to get on a role and be 15-3 plus one draw.

Massive effort by the Brisbane Lions to make a Grand Final considering the circumstances

Now make it 16-3 and one draw since round 8.

Fagan did what Ken couldnt. So much respect for what Lions have done. Underdogs all year. No respect from the media and they kept chipping away.

People thinking they have a "gotcha" moment need to go back 3 months when I went absolutely balls in on Fagan on this thread.

I had money on Lions for flag in July at about $20.

So no you didn't get me.

Hutchison and King on the other hand need to be publicly flogged.

So you admitted you were wrong? If so then kudos.

Yes I did. But months ago!

 

[WillHayward]

Credit where credit is due.
Fagan has done a great job getting this season back on track

July 7 2024

July 7 to be exact fella

 

[WillHayward]

Amazing coaching effort given the injuries and poor start of the season.

And again

 

[WillHayward]

Thought the interview with Fagan and Abbey Holmes at half time said a lot. He was totally calm and unpanicked .

And again again

King is a F.W

Loves talking up teams and throws them under the bus when they fail.

Hopefully this sparks a broader debate about ageism in the workforce

Dream big.

Dream big.

Look, maybe we can send Kai Lohman to Mars.

He's halfway there already..under his own steam.
