Re: Round 22 Adam Goodes

When Adam Goodes started playing he was not booed like this. Has anyone found the witch that waved a magic wand and suddenly turned non racist supporters of many clubs into horrendous racists. Or does anyone know of anything that Adam Goodes may have done that would make fans boo at him. Why doesn'...

Re: Round 22 Adam Goodes

So given the absolutist are now at war here, it's either un-Australian if you boo, or un-Australian if you're not allowed to and don't.  In short, it's going really well. divide and conquer divide and conquer divide and conquer ad infinitum divide and conquer divide and conquer divide and conquer a...

Re: Brisbane Lions - PRIORITY PICK

I am a bit worried. If the Lions get a PP and the Swans and GWS use their academy picks it means we drop way down the order. Swans & GWS are only going for their academy kids if forced too which they have priority over, it is not going to effect our drafting. As to whether they get a PP let's s...

Re: Round 22 Adam Goodes

If Adam Goodes clocks one of our boys behind play, then by all means boo him as we would anyone else. However, in the absence of any on field treachery, not only should we refrain from booing Adam Goodes, we should give him an ovation, before the game starts of course. Actually, I agree with the fi...

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs

Get the feeling they may take the opportunity to look at a couple different options.
Out
Roo, Lonie, Gilbert

In
Membrey, Saunders, Lee

Would love to see a Hickey for Longer switch but don't think it will happen.

Re: Round 22 Adam Goodes

However it started, for whatever reason, the booing has morphed into something which clearly has a racist element. The fact is if he wasn't Aboriginal he wouldn't be being booing to this degree - nothing that he's done warrants it. Furthermore he is a champion of our game and finishing this season. ...

Re: If you think Dermie's a flog, well you're probably right

Matthews disputed what Mick Turner said comparing McCartin & Brown on endurance at the start of their careers but was very complimentary of McCartin in saying he has the right traits. Think Dermie, after highlighting Bruce to Watters, is drinking his own bathwater. Paddy was excellent on the wee...

I am stoked at how many wins we've got so far this year but when Rooey's our best for the day and we haven't won without him I think we are overrating where we are at in the rebuild.

Re: POLL: What was the best thing about today's win?

I was in a box today. There was a guy from Belgium who had been here since March but didn't have a team yet. I gave him one of my 20 scarves. He has a team now. He lives in Footscray and is disappointed that there is no local team for him to follow. But all of that wasn't an option so I voted for P...

MCG or Etihad?

Would we get more supporters going to games if we were based at the G rather than Eithad?
Ok, Eithad is probably more comfortable for families but outside that are there any other positives?
Can't help but wonder if a move to the G would work for us.

Longer needs to lift he's getting smashed. Been smashed all year bar 2 or so games. The only real baffling aspect of Richos coaching is his constant Longer selection. Just don't get it.

There is no way Longer is better than Hickey on form.
Hickey would at least be giving Gawn something to think about with his forward presence.

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

I think we should be targeting new migrants. Our population is growing at a decent rate and migrants have no club ties when they come here.
