He taunted Harry by pretending to cry. 

You're thinking Lincoln McCarthy with that one.

But yes, hoping there's some fire in the guts from last year's finals.

[layzie 33,049]

I hope we just play them off the park. Couldn't really give a stuff about drama from last year.

Sorry Fritta but Bbb to kick another bag and lead the Coleman race.

Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

Oh you’re right. They’re both chumps so they’re easily confused. 🤣

Actually, I just remembered how Jarrod Berry was involved to an extent in this whole deplorable thing. Not worth talking about.

Thanks for info.

Bought tickets through ticketmaster so now they have my email address I'm getting promotional material for Brisbane Lions WTF

Would be surprised if May plays so soon, Salem will need a game in the VFL to get some touch. I have from time to time overactive Thyroid, takes quite a few weeks to normalise and running even 500m can cause exhaustion with elevated heart rate.

Hope he has either done radioactive iodine, or cut it out, as a long term fix.

I'm fine with this.

There is honestly no rush in getting these guys back. Take all the time they need so that it sets them up well for the year.

Just arrived in Brisbane. 
 

80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

(ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
 

Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

Having a sub will help !

If it’s 31C, will there be extra breaks? What’s the AFL heat policy? I realise it’s a night game, but that’s a ridiculous temperature to be playing AFL football in

According to BOM it'll be 25 degrees from about 7 pm onwards.  Don't know about humidity though!

My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

Do the Richmond players still money grab these nights years after there flags???

Dunno. But I must say 2021 was the subject of discourse for the majority of the night. 🏆❤️💙

BTW, two thirds of the night was great. The other third, Clarrie spoke.  😁

Seriously, I couldn’t understand a word he said apart from “hello” at the start.

I live in Brisbane. It’s cooled down quite a bit after a heat wave. Last weekend was absolutely stinking hot, so looks like we will be fairly fortunate with the weather. It will be relatively temperate and the real hot edge to days and nights has eased this week. 

[hells bells 2,023]

Have it on good authority that it has been an unhappy team at the Brisbane Lions over the offseason.  Not sure of the cause, or if it was a factor in them starting poorly v Port.  But just passing on what I’ve heard.

So I assume May will be suiting up for Casey in that case?

On Tuesday Goodwin doubled down from the post game presser saying all four players (May, Salem, Fritta, Viney) will be available for selection at either MFC or Casey.

(on a serious note, if your mail is solid, then they obviously don’t want to risk May so early in the season.

[DubDee 24,476]

pressure is already on the Lions. could be 0-2. then play the dogs away and the Pies

they will be fired up for friday! pity we might not have our brutes in viney may kozzi
