Haven't read the whole thread, but the popular out for May (if fit) seems to be Tomlinson. I disagree strongly, Petty should go even if he's fit to play. Thommo has played far better than Petty in both matches and is more versatile. Petty has looked really poor on many occasions because he panics when out of position and his sure marking seems to have temporarily deserted him. I can't recall him spoiling either. McDonald will get another chance but JVR must be a near certainty to get a run against the lesser teams in forthcoming rounds. Grundy proved he is fit enough to ruck nearly all game so given Goody's reluctance to change the team, I think May will be the only inclusion, with Petty out.

Looking to offload an MCC guest ticket plus reserved seat (value $60) for the Swans game. Please leave a comment here if you or someone you know is interested in taking it off my hands.

I was at the game and maybe you see different things on TV, but I thought Grundy put in a solid effort and that Bowey and Spargo were very average. Hunter was really good, Lever and Brown good, and Oliver just never gives up. 6 Hunter 5 Lever 4 Oliver 3 Brown 2 Rivers 1 Grundy Our bottom six were very poor.

Looking for a single ticket anywhere in the ground, any price, for the game against the Bombers. If there are nine other people who are similarly stuck for a ticket, we can club together and book a box! Seems ridiculous that you can't buy a single ticket, but you can buy a box for ten people, but I guess that's modern footy/business. 😒

In: Viney, Fritsch (I hope) Out: Laurie, Pickett

6 Gawn 5 Petracca 4 Pickett 3 Spargo 2 Lever 1 Rivers

Enjoyed Trac's reaction when Mihocek got the three votes in the QB game. Good thing he wasn't eating or drinking at the time, as he would have made a mess of the table..

Anyone who went to the pre season game and witnessed Cripps absolutely destroy us would have seen that he had got his body right and was in for a huge season.

I hope Jake Lever has a good think about how his sulking re the decision against him with a few minutes to go handed Brisbane the game when we were surging. What could have happened if the free kick had been taken from the original spot? The shot is missed, we have possession again, May kicks it straight down the middle, we score again and suddenly there's a single kick in it again. Lever is supposed to be a "leader", but what a terrible example he set for our younger players.

Out all afternoon so couldn't watch. Is there any way to access a replay?

I haven't read this whole thread, but has anyone given credit to Fagan for his brilliant tactic in playing dead, and I mean completely dead - no effort, no chasing - in the final round so that the Dees thought they were good to go for the finals, and that the Lions were easy beats. Daniher did not elect to stay in Brisbane, Fagan ordered him to stay there because he knows that the Lions are a much better side without him. He refrained from tagging Oliver in round 23, but had Berry primed and ready for the task when it mattered. "Charlie, don't try too hard, let Hibberd think he has you covered" etc etc. Just brilliant, and the Dees fell for it, hook, line and sinkered/sunk.

6 Petty 5 Langdon 4 Oliver Can’t bring myself to vote for anyone else for the first time this year.

Please change the genius who decided we should go with the same team with the same players in the same positions week after week. Just plain stupid. If it was Goodwin, he should be sacked, premiership coach or not. Stupid stupid stupid 😡😡😡😡😡

6 Oliver 5 May 4 Petty 3 Harmes 2 Fritsch 1 Spargo While on the other side of the ledger: -6 Melksham -5 Jackson -4 Brown -3 Neal-Bullen -2 Rivers -1 Picket

So good! Bye bye Tigers!

Gotta feel pretty smug about watching a team we beat by nearly ten goals last week giving the “dangerous” Tigers a real run for their money.

Anyone with a haircut as bad as Prestia’s deserves to be subbed out of the game.

I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent. No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news. Here's a few pics from the session. ADMIN EDIT: Pics have been move to this posts. Flower Magic's Photos

Easily Georgiades but I'll vote for Charlie, as will my father, two sisters, brother and two pet dogs 😆

But for the rest of us, it's going to be like the Wiz all over again. Watching him star against other clubs in a Freo jumper and, worse still, like Jeff, star against us, and all the time wishing like hell that he was still ours, and thinking: "If only ..."

Oh, a sightly surreal moment just then. Standing at the lights in the Brisbane CBD and something comes whizzing down the hill and across in front of me. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Tom McDonald on an electric scooter! As long as he doesn't fall off and hurt his knee ...😲

The kick/handball differential is of course heavily influenced by the pressure applied by opponents. Last night, Brisbane's pressure on the ball carrier was often low or non-existent. Compare the manic pressure applied by Collingwood two weeks ago. The run was back alright, but it's a lot easier to run when no one's chasing you. But it was a pleasure watching our boys hit targets time and time again as the Lions supporters around me became more and more frustrated with their team's woeful execution.

The man holds the key to our back to back quest. No team can compete with the Gawn/Jackson combo. This is where we have the comprehensive edge over the [censored]. Rhys Stanley will need therapy after Max and Luke take him and Geelong to hell and back.
