Probably already mentioned, but are we the only team to not to lose Brisbane this year?

We should have been. Had them on toast the first time and put in a shocker last quarter, but beat them easy the second time.

So no F/S we miss out on White, Yze, Green, etc etc

It's not about who we miss out on...it's just time to close this loophole down.

If it's a serious competition then it needs to be done properly.

Seeing as we want to change everything else that made this game unique, then this one is a no brainer.

Geelong are a good team but they get a free pass into September every season.

They are literally the ONLY team that gets genuine home ground advantage and that dung heap down the highway. Like, a proper advantage. Interstate teams can provide a hostile environment when they play at home, but it’s still just a regular ground.

Geelong’s ground is incredibly hard to play at with its dimensions AND THEY GET TO TRAIN ON IT.

So, 9 home games a year against minnow sides means 7-9 guaranteed wins, then 5 at the MCG where they have no real disadvantage to the tenants, a few at Docklands, etc.

Imagine if we got 9 home games a year at Casey.

They’re still a good side, always have been always will be, but it’s kinda unfair if you ask me.

Generally this is very true and always played a significant part of their success.

Although this year their win loss ratio at home wasn't excellent.

But even though it's just over an hour away from the G it's like travelling to Perth.

And of course we are the mugs who play there every single year.

Adding Draper and Allen next year although I don't think they would be that great the current mix is perfect. Coleman returning is a huge weapon if he can stay fit

Brisbane Lions will have access to Daniel Annable who has been with the Brisbane Lions Academy since he was 12 years old. Annable is going to be a 4-5 pick in the National Draft this year. I remember when Casey VFL played against Brisbane Lions VFL side. Annable played a very good game.

How the F did Wanganeen-Milera not get a vote in the Norm Smith? Disgraceful

Danger mouse has reached his limit. Bye bye Danger & Jeelong .. too many 30 plus that can't run the second half

FWIW, I hate Jeelong but I hate Collibobbles more

I'm glad Brisvagas has their b2b.

Now it's our turn.

Is it???

I mean.. I’d be a lot happier if we had a record that showed success like that, even if not to get the major success every time.

Us bottom feeders aren’t looking so hot.

There will be more good field kicks in their reserves than our seniors.

Unfortunately, for the past 30 years or so, we have been prophylactic procreators instead of prolific procreators.

Whereas all the other teams were absolutely stacked full of [censored].

If prelims were a sign of success Rodney Eade would be celebrated as a successful coach.

Lachie Neale coming on changed the game. What a sub.

Huge risk, high reward. And halftime subbing out an uninjured player even ballsier.

Did Starswvic see out the game?

His career could potentially be in doubt with a history of concussion

poor fella

Lions deserving premiers

and they beat pies and cats to win it so we're all very thankful for that

It's interesting ,when Fagan wins a premiership, he doesn't want to be front and centre afterwards. He prefers the back seat.
