There's a prize for the first person to work out where they come from.

    Had a real soft spot for the old Lions back in the day.  Perhaps it was the Norm and Len Smith connection.  Their fans always seemed really decent people, unlike some others.  I think they knew their footy too and it looks like that hasn't changed.  The Brisbane supporters are relatively small in number but substantially more intelligent than most.

    Agree but most of their other payers aren't. I was at Metricon last year us V Lions and all they did was bump, push, scrag Gawn off the ball all game. Umpires did nothing so no doubt they will do same and we can only hope the Umpires do something this time.

    Was at that game as well and the Lions tactics and umpires lack of action were an absolute disgrace.  Distinctly remember Charlie Cameron shepherding Max out of moving into position to mark several time in a way that was soo obvious, it's like the umpires were not even on the ground.  Bet you they would have seen it if Max had have decked little Charlie though, which it exactly what big Maxy should do if that little runt tries it out again.

    They are the words of Hugh Lofting, English author of the late nineteenth - early twentieth century. He created the Doctor Dolittle Series. 
    I can’t accept a prize since I cheated... I screenshot your post and sent it to my son knowing that he would know the answer. 
    Anyways, enough on that. The question now is, what has this got to do with Fonzie? I have to know.

    I sometimes forget the Mitch Robinson at the Lions is the same guy who called us bruise free. I would love for one of the boys to tackle him hard enough (but legally) that has him slow getting up

    Would love any of Jack Viney, AVB, Track, Harmesy, Hibbo or May to absolutely nail him in a final in front of a huge crowd at the MCG like 2018 against Hawthorn (Mitchell) and Geelong (Selwood & Danger come to mind).

    Keep your powder dry boys.

    Yep, there’s never much bluster from Brisbane supporters. Not sure why - whether it’s the physical distance (although that doesn’t stop West Coast fans from chirping), the a culture of humbleness, or just the warm weather in Queensland just makes them more relaxed about life in general, but the difference is noticeable.

    They’re a team that gives you no reason to hate them. Quiet supporters, humble coach, tough players. I have respect for the way they’re just quietly building. I’m looking forward to this game more than I have any other this year, should be great.

    A lot of my family are old Fitzroy supporters. Even with the early 2000s flags, you don't forget that...

    I don't want them to hurt Max, but if they pay him a lot of attention then it could actually be a huge plus for us.  In the games where Max has taken a back step from being the go-to man, Jackson has played really well. And the Lions simply do not have a match up for Jackson - his speed, 2nd efforts and natural midfielder attributes. 

    And I am not sure they have a good match up for Fritsch or Kozzie.

    Just re-read the T &Cs. Nowhere does it state that the winner will forfeit the prize because he/she asked a relative for help. 
    I’ll see you in court!

    I’ve always wanted to say that. ?

    Do you have any relatives named Yolanda? They'll know the answer

    Brisbane supporters are Northern skiers.

    Most only turn up when the team is winning.

    Given how badly the Broncos are performing this year and last I suspect the Lions are getting decent media coverage in Brisbane.

    If he could hold a mark he would be a sensation.

    Much like Weid, when he runs at the ball with an opponent beside him, his hands turn to concrete.

    Hey, for a while VB was a popular up here in the land of the banana benders, but I probably prefer Coopers myself these days.

    Stone Wood ale for me.

    Or Great Northern for a cheapy.

    Enjoy your enthusiasm. Perhaps entertain the idea of trimming your "biography/interests" so we can move on to the next post without trawling down through air space.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
