Interesting that the two mega acts for the Olympics opening ceremony were not French. Lady Gaga and Celine Dion That's what I call cringeworthy

Bombers in dive spiral

Zero system Not really seeing any skill development at this level No run and spread just hack it forward in hope to an empty forward line because we've pressed too high

Empty forward line as usual

Hack it forward seems to be our system

What a fiasco

Oh Roy x 2

Good point Casey has some major drawbacks

what a miss

The sheikh of Scrubby Creek An interesting choice but ....

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.

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.

Excellent..... Only missing a second oval

Lever was 21 years old (Luke Jackson's age)

First round picks are gold over the next two years given the entry of Tasmania in 2026

No thanks

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

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)

Has anyone analysed his 2023 vfl season for Brisbane? Thanks

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

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

13th would be a nice outcome draftwise That final game against the Pies could be interesting

Just think of the draft pick if we end up 11-12

Ugly now

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
