A lot of them are ex-Fitzroy supporters so may be more humble considering what they've been through?

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.

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

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.

Looks like you've done yourself out of ONE MILLION DOLLARS then

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.

You know, they called it that, because most Queenslanders don't have the brain cells to read the word Beer.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
