Suns looking good to get that one game gap back. Death Ride Brisbane, beat Richmond get back on same points

No Darcy releases Jackson to do his thing, they are better team with him as No 1 ruck. Also no pressure, they can just go out and play footy

Apologies WCW, my intention of my post was not to infer that you or the numbers were wrong. I was curious, so ran the calculations on the remainder and shared them. I have heard those figures thrown around before

They are playing quite well so far only 7 points behind the Lions rn, they are in this game.

With what money in the soft cap? They would have to replace other people at the club.

Yes, However I am not sure if we can fit a payout in this years salary cap.

That leaves 5.5 million for the remaining 32 players. Thats roughly 171K each on average

I agree in terms of injuries. Tmac's foot seems absolutely cooked and Browns knee is repetitively troublesome. I just don't see either retiring by their own choice and leaving contracted money on the table. I would happily be wrong.

What makes you believe that?

Love Jack, bleeds red and blue. Wish the interview was longer

They play each other next week so at least one of them will get a win Freo has Lions, Eagles, Port, Hawks Suns have Lions, crows, swans, blues north Crows have port, suns, lions, swans, eagles

Both BBB and Tmac have contracts for next year and I don't see anyone taking them.

Pick 4's not gone yet. Depends on GC A Geelong loss always feels good, makes the squeeze for bottom 4 of the 8 tougher for them.

Their full record at the MCG since becoming the Brisbane Lions is 59 games, 16 wins , 1 draw and 42 losses. 11 of those are in finals for 5 wins and 6 losses.

Generally, the commentary team "cheer" for the losing side so the game seems more competitive and engaging. Happens in almost every game.

It took a year for May and Lever to get their chemistry, it's gonna take a year for Gawn and Grundy

The talk has come from GW bringing it up on Crunch time today and to put it in his words "Sure, Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant tag teamed sometimes but they are better opponents" It's not happening, we are not trading him.

Can Hawthorn win 3/4 games to get above Freo? They have North, Richmond, St Kilda, Collingwood, Footscray, Us and then Play Freo at the MCG in the final round Freo's only soft game coming is against West Coast

Shortly! Waiting for my brother to come back from walking the dog

Yup blokes get dropped, players go in and out of form etc however, Teams aren't picked based on player salary - they are picked on player role, performance and team balance. Trust me, what players are played is completely irrelevant to the selection team Not one person at selection would ever say "but we should play this player cos we are paying them X more than..." They would get laughed out of the room. Friendly reminder the current best player in the comp (Nick Daicos) is on the same contract worth as JVR which is pre-set when drafted.

Media really going overboard on this. Nothing to worry about here, he's having a week off big deal. I think the work on his forward craft stuff is something the media has made up as a reason... Casey aint even playing this week. Grundy has played every week this season and this will be the only game this year we've tried with just Max.

I'm pretty excited for this kid and the way our ruck handover may work. Kalani will be available to be drafted Nov 2025. The same time that Gawn's current contract ends where he will be 34. Grundy is contracted until 2027, so we could forecast for Kalani to start getting games by 2028 after 2 years development.

I've been ignoring his opinion for over a decade now, my life and my view on footy is so much better for it. Only show I watch nowadays that he is on is Sunday Footy Show, I watch it on replay so I can fast forward when he starts talking.

Just sitting on my couch waiting to head to the ground thinking about how much I bloody hate Brisbane

Completely agree. Kicking accuracy inside 50 to a target and towards goal has been the whole issue. Fix that and we enter 2021 finals form.
