  1. Good point Casey has some major drawbacks
  2. The sheikh of Scrubby Creek An interesting choice but ....
  3. Free agency was introduced for players like Houston. If you take the long term dollars don't expect clubs to come bailing you out with multiple first rounders. We'd be suckers to pay two first rounders for an ageing player Lynch to Richmond and MacKay to Essendon should be the model.
  4. I don't think we can afford to invest too much more in the window at the expense of the future. Dollar investment maybe but we need quality youngsters via the draft. For 28 year olds that is what the free agency is all about. Houston chose to sign long term so I have little sympathy.
  5. Excellent..... Only missing a second oval
  6. Lever was 21 years old (Luke Jackson's age)
  7. First round picks are gold over the next two years given the entry of Tasmania in 2026
  8. Assuming we finish 11th that's about pick 8. Is he worth it Recent trades haven't been stunners and given Tasmania in two years 2024 and 2025 draft picks are gold. We also gave away our second round choice for McAdam
  9. This is the end of year wrap on the Lions VFL team in 2023 https://www.afl.com.au/news/1065624/2023-smithys-vfl-review-brisbane-lions Notice anything strange about this Stat.... Annual Average (six match minimum) Hitouts: Darcy Fort (23.3), Kalin Lane (16.3), Henry Smith (8.9)
  10. Has anyone analysed his 2023 vfl season for Brisbane? Thanks
  11. I'm guessing that TMac has called time. He's had a wonderful 2024 and surprised us all but to go out on your own call is a great thing in this game
  12. Petty re-signing is a game changer. Now for next year and the end of season draft pick. Play Jefferson for 2-3 games. Petty down back. Manage May (we need him for 25/26) Let's face it this season is over from a GF perspective and probably was when we lost to West Coast
  13. 13th would be a nice outcome draftwise That final game against the Pies could be interesting
  14. Just think of the draft pick if we end up 11-12
  15. Beg to differ 3-3 won't cut it Dogs have a superior percentage and three teams now in the eight have the benefit of a drawn game
  16. radar shows a few showers but not much. Might make it a little greasy a most
  17. If we lose today we will fall off the chase badly. Lions winning does us no favours
  18. May have a look at the Magpie Board. Does anyone have a link to the Demonland equivalent. Thanks
  19. Dare to Dream Early days but trending well Go Hawks
  20. Got screamed down on the main boards for asking such a question. Told that the possible tall forwards were better use of the list spots than a back up (break glass) ruck such as Bell
  21. Wasn't his day. I would have played him solo inside 50 but he played up and down the ground with the massive packs
