He was terrible last year. I am not fussed he is gone, he is too short anyway to play a KPP.

Did you say the same when we were interested in Hurley?

I would have liked us to give Marcus one more chance, but then he has done nothing at Brisbane to make me stop and think that we have given a great prize away.
List spots are too valuable nowadays to be clogging them up with blokes who look good but never get onto the ground. That was OK back in the day we had senior lists of 60+
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I was under the impression he actually played some good footy for Brisbane once he was actually out on the park.

Some good, some bad. The usual output.
He should come to his senses and fulfil his true calling: professional bodybuilder.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

True. When he finally made it onto the park he had a couple of influential games as an interceptor during Brissy's late charge including that nail-biter over the Handbaggers - but they soon discovered how the Spec fares when asked to mind someone. Dusty absolutely bullied him in their first final.

Re: Brisbane Lions
Why did he actually leave? Was it our choice or his?
My recollection is it was totally his choice and it appeared there was a behind the scenes rift around the medical treatment he received. Can’t understand why else he’d go to Brisbane when he was homesick....

All we were fed was the 'fresh start' angle, others may know if there's more afoot ... Suspect he'd simply had a gutful of his wretched luck combined with our post-flag hangover and the view that Brisbane's medical / conditioning team is reputedly the envy of the league.
It'll be interesting to see if Spec can finally hold up for at least 50% of a season.

It will be interesting - he didn’t manage it last year. Not buying the fresh start plug.

I think comrade has nailed it, a bit of a mixed bag but if Brisbane's medical team does get on top of his injury troubles he can really help their back line

Re: Brisbane Lions
Well what can we say about the Lions?
They smalls were excellent very dangerous. I laugh when people talk about Greene being one of the best players in the comp. Cameron s** all over him. I was petrified any time he went near the ball.
Their talls didn't quite give them a reward for investment.
There are many coaches I don't like much. Chris Fagan is quite likable and they pushed us to the edge tonight.
Great Game and respect Lions.

Re: Brisbane Lions
Lions aren’t built for it. Zorko, their captain, never ever delivers when it counts, and how can you get behind someone like that?
They’re a fun team who will never matter as long as they play like they’re a fun team. If I barracked for them having the coach say we had a great year in the presser as we bundled out in straight sets for the second time in three years would have me breathing fire.

Re: Brisbane Lions
They have Daniher, one of the most overpaid players in history of game on 750k a year, on a 3 year deal. Keath was owned him tonight. I was really hoping Alex kicked that goal. That would have been the nail in the coffin on Daniher defensive efforts!
Lets see how long Adams and Nakia stay on the park next year.

They had plenty of outs. Their regular forward line messed up. Daniher, am surprised they managed to keep him injury free.
Keath owns everyone. Very long list of scalps.
Coaches have to keep a positive energy. I am sure they breathe fire when it counts.
Not seen Fagan so fired up during a game before.

Re: Brisbane Lions
Cameron ahead of Greene?? I hate Toby but he is a great player, no way he would be as quiet as Cameron was after qtr time
