Re: Brisbane Lions

Do we think Dunkley has been better at the lions, the same or worse?
He seemed to get a better write up from the media when he was with us.
Was it a good move ?

He's being played in a solely defensive mid role, rather than a mid pushing forward role like with us. Up to him which he prefers.

Supposedly players behaving inappropriately in Vegas including not being faithful to their partners. Messages were picked up back home due to WhatsApp

I didn't know that Talia was on the Brisbane Lions list.

Re: Brisbane Lions

I?d say Dunkley sucks now, but was he ever actually good?

Re: Brisbane Lions

Supposedly players behaving inappropriately in Vegas including not being faithful to their partners. Messages were picked up back home dude to WhatsApp being on another device allowing supposedly Charlie Cameron?s partner to see all their group messages.

She then shared them with other partners and wives creating a rift in the playing group.

One of the cheating players was (allegedly) dating Lyons' sister which is probably where the "rift" story comes from.
Rift is used too much in footy stories. It might just be one player pissed off at another

Re: Brisbane Lions

There are suggestions on Reddit that the touring party included renowned good bloke Luke Hodge. If he was there, I don't believe any of these stories - no way he'd let something like that happen on his watch!!

Lyon was dropped this week too.

Re: Brisbane Lions

It's unreal how the Lions put this list together and they're a great example of of getting the balance of the draft, trading and father son picks right and they're very likely to be better again next season.

They've got two great picks coming in with Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall and will have McInerney, Doedee and Coleman available.

If they can manage complacency, they'll be the ones to beat again next season.

Re: Brisbane Lions

Wonder what we were thinking of that list at this stage!

80-36 down with 8 mins to go in the third v GWS in the semi.

GWS should have a flag they must've kicking themselves.

Biggest choke in finals history.

I agree with you though they have a very balanced list.

They're also a club that never appears to have salary cap challenges that has them dumping a player or two.
It would be very interesting to get an idea on how they have constructed this list.

Oh good point. They had Doedee, Coleman, McCarthy out too.

Re: Brisbane Lions

Eric Hipwood, Andrews, Jaspa Fletcher, Jack Payne and Keidean Coleman came from Academy.

Zorko, Ah Chee (GCS), Neale (Freo), Cameron (Crows), Dunkley (COLES Express), Daniher (Dons), McCarthy (Cats), Mckenna (Dons via Ireland), Fort (Cats) came from other clubs as targeted gets.

Drafted well
Cam Rayner (No.1), Hugh McCluggage (No.3), Zac Bailey (No.15), Darcy Wilmot (No.16), Jarrod Berry (No.17), Brandon Starcevich (No.18) and Kai Lohmann (No.20), McInerney (rookie), Noah Answerth (No.55) and Logan Morris (No.31).

Father son obviously with the Norm Smith medallist with another #1 on the way this season with his brother.

Hopefully there aren't any shady back room deals that stop the Tigers bidding at 1.

Not that it matters but I think Fletcher is Father Son also (Adrian Fletcher).

If Daniher retires, I wonder how they will structure up forward? He really is their key pillar down there and I wouldn't trust Hipwood to do a quarter of the job Daniher did.
