What they are saying down at Vulture Street

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
