Such a bizarre decision to retire so early, he really is unique. Very sad he is retiring.

Especially since he’s got one more contracted year left for a million bucks!

 

[winslow_wong]

going out on top is respectable but so sad for the lions. He seems like he’s still got a lot to offer. The question now is, who can we look to get to fill the void?

Well we've got four options really:
1. Go with Big O and Fort
2. Give Henry Smith the spot and see how he goes, though he is a better ruckman than forward
3. Go small and use this opening for Levi and go with four small forwards instead, problem with this is that as good as Morris looks, he isn't ready to be 1st or 2nd tall yet
4. See if we can poach an old / injured tall forward from somewhere, we would have so many tall forwards lining it up to go to us it isn't funny - I'm looking at a Tom Lynch, Levi Casboult, Darcy Fogarty, Oscar Allen or someone like that

Tom Lynch makes the most sense to me. On slightly more than a million atm but surely he takes less to walk into a team that looks set to compete for a while.

At his best, he’s absolutely elite…unfortunately he’s 32 and banged up, how close to his best is he still going to be? That’s the risk I suppose.

 

[Super Freak]

Apparently Joe was going to retire last year and would have if Lions won the flag. He told Fagan he will play one more year and good for him that he goes out a winner.

 

[winslow_wong]

His final series was immense. It would be hard to play at that level again if his head wasn’t in it. Goes out a lions legend.

Just couldn't touch him given he's 32 and hardly played for 2 seasons. Plus he is a complete **** and getting paid a lot of money.

Cam Rayner has extended to 2031!

So we have everyone locked up except Starc that we want to lock up, pretty cool.

We are going to have insane depth yet again next year!

Lions Women into another Grand Final against North Melbourne

North haven’t lost this season, they’re due

They were also overwhelming favourites last year and we took them down. Of course we did get smashed by them in round 1 this year but much better side now.

 

[winslow_wong]

It’ll be a massive choke if north lose the grand final.

 

[Allo]

While I didn’t see the game tonight, sounds like it was a really poor outing

Hopefully it’s a good omen for the Heat girls tomorrow as the reverse happened last year

2 wins from 6 grand finals so far now

Winning a couple is great, as is getting to 6 GFs, but there’s a fair bit of disappointment in that stat still

 

[winslow_wong]

The women’s lions have been pretty sloppy all season. Their style of play is still very typical of the original women’s game -lots of turnovers and skill errors. You’d think being a foundation club they’d start taking it to the next level. Some of the other clubs are fast catching up to the lions and the kangaroos have surpassed them by a long way within a pre-season.

 

[Sproj]

All true but Norths had the season of all seasons, to go comfortably undefeated is pretty special.

Fages extends to 2027! HUZZAH!

 

[winslow_wong]

A lot to look forward to for Brisbane teams next year. Can’t wait!
