"The players don't care. They don't give a rat's backside. They don't wanna chase, they don't wanna play. You have guys before the game saying that "We don’t cheat on our partners in Las Vegas" Maybe they do, maybe they do. Maybe the coaching panel, the players, the board should listen to us members! We've got 50 thousand- almost 55 thousand members. You want us to sign up next year? Bloody show us something! Show us the heart! Last year we gave you the excuse "We only lost the Grand Final by 4 points." We thought this year we'd go again. What's the excuse!? If you're not gonna play- I said it a few weeks ago- If you're not gonna play for the coach, play for people like myself! Who bust my balls every week to get there, hard earned money, and you dish that up against GWS!? They toyed with us. It's an embarrassment for the Lion Pride and especially the Country Roads.

“And it’s a shame we didn’t get to see our best 22 play, but you take off your rose-tinted glasses and you can see that, we still - have a chance - we still have a list, and we still have the best defence, and the best midfield, and we have some bloody good players in Ashcroft… and Coleman, but he might not return. And if our list is managed, then there’s no reason that this can’t be a dynasty still. And it’s easy to be written off, and it’s hard to win in Canberra, and it’s hard to win at the Gabba, but this list may be the best list, the best team that we ever have… Ever, in my life *(since the 2000s dynasty that were so much better)* and I want them to know that and I want them to sort whatever they have inside, because **sometimes you feel…**
**like you’re not meant to win.**
**That everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and that’s what happened tonight.**
and I just want hug mate, and I’ll see you next year.”
It's actually wild. Taylor goes down? Oh we'll just bring in our first round key defender from a few years ago. Toby suspended? We've got a first rounder for that too!
I was thinking watching Essendon today how not up to scratch Davey looked, even Hobbs looked too slow and panicked. And then we have kids like Thomas and Jones who look at home so quickly.
Small forwards is Essendons weakness for sure. Hobbs isn't a small forward, should be an in and under mid but needs to play somewhere. Davey nowhere near it atm.
Giants in the other hand... Infinite good small forwards
Only team getting serious favours over the last 10 years from Gil was (and very much still is) St Kilda. He may as well be president he's that tight with Bassett. Fat lot of good it's done.
Yeah I don't understand why people get so upset at the newer teams getting good picks from their academies. Maybe in 20+ years when you're getting Toby Greene's offspawn as F/S picks it'll be time to phase out the academy picks, but until then it seems completely reasonable.
i’m convinced their recruiter just sits in the stand at steel blue oval and watches the swannies and no one else. insane love of the swan districts football club
Idk if that guys going to answer. So this is how it works or at least how it works for me.
I’ve got 2 clubs that I love, the Swans and Giants. I went for the Swans my entire life until GWS popped up in my backyard and I started supporting them. But still some of my greatest memories are at the SCG watching Barry Hall, Buddy, McVeigh, etc playing. If the Giants play the Swans I go for the Giants now days. But outside of clashes I’m always rooting for both teams to win. I’ve even got a wall where I used to stick my membership stickers from both clubs every year. I’ve now stopped getting a swans membership but that’s mostly because I moved away.
So yeah seems dumb I guess to most people I would assume but I’ve got so many memories watching Swans over the years, it’s hard to give that up, to switch to a new team.
I did exactly the same. Supported the Swans until we had a choice. The Swans only played lip service to western Sydney with 3 Games a year at Homebush . Plus I am now a Foundation member for GWS. Looking forward to some GF tickets this year with the way these boys are playing
Same as me, but Essendon whole life. But I live near the Giants so it's much easier to support a team in your backyard.
If Essendon play GWS I generally want Essendon to win, but I've been a member for nearly 30 years so that feeling will never go away.
I'll be moving to Melbourne next year but will still be loyal to both.
Absolutely clinical from GWS, well done. No Toby Greene required. Brisbane... i just don't know what has happened in Las Vegas. Needs to be investigated by the AFL. Whatever happened, it has killed your season from the start.
By no means defending their performance tonight of any other week this season. But the US thing is getting pretty old, they didn't even go to Las Vegas for a start haha
It didn't kill them against the Demons the other week. They're just off their game for one reason or another. But to say it was a US trip from 6 months ago is dumb.
I know Brisbane didn't play close to their best, but I am honestly fucking thrilled with that win/performance. Nearly every Giant performed really well (Callaghan probably best on ground imo). Darcy Jones had an awesome debut. Was just a bit worried going in after last weeks collapse against Carlton, though maybe we'd been found out a bit, but credit to the team for responding, they looked like they had a point to prove. Great win. In Kingers we trust.
I am feeling the exact same way.
Real statement.
And so much to like loving forward, lotta young guys who are gonna be unlucky to miss out on a spot when cogs, Taylor and Greene are back.
Great to have the depth.
He was 15th in goal kicking (with Cameron and Daniher both in the top 10) and top 10 in goal assists last year (two spots below Patrick Dangerfield).
I'd agree he's super frustrating to watch sometimes. But saying he's the reason for us going poorly when GWS walked through our entire team all night is rough.
GWS just walked the ball out of our forward 50 all night. We're defending transition so poorly but I really don't know who I'd drop. Structurally I think we look better without a 3rd tall so would remove Gardiner, but unsure how you fix this team. Overall, we are super disjointed and look easy to play against
First time travelling down for a mens game at Manuka and oh boy what a blast. The place is such a vibe, the kid and I counted all 18 clubs guernseys represented in the crowd, the place just loves footy.
We played Manuka bingo, too! Got the whole set minus the Suns before the first bounce.
Thank God for that teenager strolling around in the Suns guernsey or I wouldn't have got bingo.
Haha, I think that's the one.
I reckon the Swans were the biggest third-party merch around (at least in our area). Probably reflects the 2000s where we got a lot of Swans away games.
Brisbane ruled out as contenders I think.
Yes, it's still early, but my reading is four clubs can win the flag this year.
Both Sydney sides and Geelong or Carlton.
Having said that, GWS seem way more likely than the swans, Carlton and Geelong I'm struggling to read.
I’ll be shocked if Geelong look the goods come September. GWS Carlton for mine. The Brisbane team still exists… so in theory a miracle could happen? Seems less likely every week.
A brave man writes off the cats imo. They could easily lose the next 6 matches and show me wrong, but they've been proving people wrong for 15 years so we'll see.
A blues flag though, my misso is blue and through, she would flip out. Much respect for the squad though so kind of hoping.
Don’t worry Fagan will take his “learnings” from this game and wont panic… we’ll bring dev Robertson in for tunstill so Fagan can claim he’s made his change and we’ll dish up the same shit next week
Christ I hate the word "learnings". It's like the football industry were all abducted by aliens one night, and when their minds were wiped before being put back the greys accidentally erased the word "lesson" too.
It's just not clicking this year, I think we should definitely be more adventurous with selection to give some players some genuine pressure to perform but I think this calling for Fagan's head is ridiculous when there is no genuine alternative available, unless someone can name someone- I am all ears but it's just so reactionary.
>I think this calling for Fagan's head is ridiculous when there is no genuine alternative available, unless someone can name someone- I am all ears but it's just so reactionary.
It really depends if you think the players are underperforming, if so then why, and if you think Fagan and team are the best people for the job to turn it around.
A common argument would be the team isn't responding to this coach, and since you can't fire the whole team, you gotta fire the coach.
Brisbane should still be aiming for a premiership this season, so if you don't believe in Fagan then may as well change.
Thing is Fagan is the reason we have the list we do, so many of these players are here because they believe in him and what he’s doing. Dumping Fagan would therefore do way more harm than good.
I don’t know if Fagan and his team have what it takes to return this group to its previous form, but if they can’t I genuinely think nobody else could.
Tough to feel positive about our season now after the start to the season we’ve had. It just seems that after a break, and the opposition switches up tactics and the momentum inevitably changes, we just give up. We’ve played 5 years of incredible footy, and after being in the wilderness for so long it would hurt so much to lose this window, but it’s sure starting to look like it.
I mean Adelaide preached for years that camp didn’t do anything to disrupt the group and then after time when you heard the stories and people were comfortable to talk it was pretty fucked
That and the Olympic Stadium fisaco is not helping matters either. I thought they will make it back for another deep run but at this rate, they will miss the 8 by end of June-July unless they get their shit together.
Well... Western Sydney were definitely Greater tonight. An Auskick team would have beaten us tonight. Zero heart, zero effort, no pressure. Ran like they were wearing cement boots. Season is all but over.
So I think after this our 3rd qrt percentage is now at something like 41\~42%, Fagan must be the most boring man alive, we just dont turn up after half time
Look on the ~~bright~~ marginally less dark side Brisbane fans. If you beat us last year this would be considered one of the worst premiership hangovers ever and everyone would be laughing at you
Everyone not named Ryan Lester, Harris Andrews, or Cam Rayner needs to issue a public apology from that shitfest. Well played GWS, they were brilliant.
I just want to say as a casual Lions fan I went to bed just before half-time when the Lions were a goal or two behind and I feel very happy about the extra sleep and missing that debacle.
Callaghan had a terrific game but Dal Santo saying he has the making of having the same level of impact as Bontempelli does at the Bulldogs sure is something. Does he honestly think he's on track to be the best player, or at least one of the best, in the entire comp?
No idea about that but Dal Santo is Bontempelli's cousin. Anyway, point being that it seems a little unnecessary to talk him up as being potentially on the same level as (arguably) the best player in the entire comp. That's not shitting on Callaghan in any way, I just don't think it's helpful - based on my post above being downvoted I guess others think he will be the best in the comp?
Why did channel 7 show a GWS training drill instead of a game tonight?
Where were you when Lion was kill?
The west of the town
Bring bring who is on fone ☎️
“Hello Lion is die” “oh”
I was outside MCG when Steele Sidebottom kick goal ‘Wowee’ YES
You were outside MCG with Steele when he kicked goal?
Yes
I cried more than 9 yr old me watching The Lion King for the first time. ( the original in the 90s, yes im that old)
Where were you when you started supporting two teams?
West Sydney
Oh shit, it's Real Pet Rocking Bombers + GWS flair too; so based
o7
me, sobbing: well there's a big big sound from the west of the town...
Me last year in the finals
worst part about losing to GWS is those fucking trumpets get you bopping
"The players don't care. They don't give a rat's backside. They don't wanna chase, they don't wanna play.

If the Giants were wearing the camo then why the fuck did we go missing at halftime?
GWS’ squad depth is honestly terrifying. Like how many great rookies can you have it’s so unfair. Ignore flair
It's actually wild. Taylor goes down? Oh we'll just bring in our first round key defender from a few years ago. Toby suspended? We've got a first rounder for that too!
I was thinking watching Essendon today how not up to scratch Davey looked, even Hobbs looked too slow and panicked. And then we have kids like Thomas and Jones who look at home so quickly.

They keep losing players like Jeremy Cameron and Tim Taranto. Getting draft picks to then replenish with the next Cameron and Taranto. Never stops.
Guess they’ve done a good job at not picking up duds with those picks but yeah
GWS recruiters be getting them special tip offs from Big Gil
Only team getting serious favours over the last 10 years from Gil was (and very much still is) St Kilda. He may as well be president he's that tight with Bassett. Fat lot of good it's done.
Flair up cunt
They were missing four of their best players today, Greene, Taylor, Cogs and Daniels. Very scary
They were simply awesome and as a Melbourne supporter it's bloody scary
With that roster, I know they will go very deep into the finals, maybe a All Sydney Grand Final
One can hope
Shh don’t tell them
Draft handouts for years from AFL and Northern Academies
Zero father-sons though
Same
Yeah I don't understand why people get so upset at the newer teams getting good picks from their academies. Maybe in 20+ years when you're getting Toby Greene's offspawn as F/S picks it'll be time to phase out the academy picks, but until then it seems completely reasonable.
My wife asked me if the dishes are done yet. I yelled out: "Brisbane Lions!"
And she knew I hadn't done them
2010s paddle pop lions are back baby
Ehh we might win 8-10 games still, wont be that bad
That’s was the early 2010’s paddlepop experience. Really collapsed after switching back in 2014.
Giants in the draft normally: I sleep Giants when they see a Western Australian available in the 20s: RealShitLazerEyes.jpeg
It’s just an extension of our “western” ethos.
Specially from a team with 'Swan' in their name and located east of Perth city..
i’m convinced their recruiter just sits in the stand at steel blue oval and watches the swannies and no one else. insane love of the swan districts football club
It's to build the rivalry with the Sydney swans. Take black swan to fight white swan.
Darcy Jones is an absolute weapon
How do we fit all the gun small forwards lmao
It's simple. We trade Toby Greene. No I am not a crackpot
Not knocking you or anything but how does the 2 team supporting work? Do u like one more than the other and how did u come to supporting 2 teams?
Idk if that guys going to answer. So this is how it works or at least how it works for me. I’ve got 2 clubs that I love, the Swans and Giants.

Ahhh I see now, I suppose we will be seeing a lot more of that coming when the Tassie team joins as well.
Darcy, Luke is an absolute spud
No Coniglio. No Taylor. No Greene. Coleman Medal Leader kicks 1 goal. Win by 9 goals against Grand Finalist. What the fuck?
That's two Grand Finalists taken care of.
We are so fucking bad
NO GREENE, NO COGNILIO, NO TAYLOR NO FUCKIN PROBLEM!!!! RAHHHHH!!! The derby next week against my team will be elite
I'm nervous, those games are coin flips 80% of the time and even when we win its always by 1-2 points 😆. Should be an epic contest
Can confirm the Lions were a quakin'
Absolutely clinical from GWS, well done. No Toby Greene required. Brisbane... i just don't know what has happened in Las Vegas. Needs to be investigated by the AFL. Whatever happened, it has killed your season from the start.
Funny thing about the Las Vegas story is that I don't think the team actually went to Vegas, but Tennessee of all places.
By no means defending their performance tonight of any other week this season. But the US thing is getting pretty old, they didn't even go to Las Vegas for a start haha It didn't kill them against the Demons the other week. They're just off their game for one reason or another.

I am feeling the big big sads tonight
I’m sorry mate.. footy is a harsh mistress
GWS are scary guys
I saw you post the score as a comment Illusive, you can’t hide from me
First time editing in the score after posting the thread and I fucked it up lol Gotta keep up with you somehow
Didn't even follow the match thread title having "GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions" smh my head
Mascots aren’t necessary because everyone knows who the teams are Except for the Bulldogs, the fuck kind of name is ‘Western’ anyway?
isn't it because those are the official names of the clubs or something?
why lions poo?
Lions have shit assistant coaches.
Did your coaching line up change that much from last year?
We've had shit assistant coaches for about 15 years. It's just that the playing group have managed to rise above them for the last few years.
Yes. We lost Jed Adcock to North and he was our best assistant.
And shit coach
Eric shitwood
So when does Sharaz\_Jek123 start posting about Fagan?
*sad dancing*
The Lions needed Fagan to run laps of Manuka without a shirt on.
Would have been more entertaining than the garbage they dished up on the field.
Headline: FAGAN PULLS HAMSTRING; LIONS HAMSTRUNG
Like we get headlines...
Can’t wait for 6 more years of Eric hipwood
Champion Data were right about Hipwood being a terrible forward, now move him to the backline like they said should happen
Or better yet remove him from the team
I'm sorry to say this, but you locked him in until 2029.
He was 15th in goal kicking (with Cameron and Daniher both in the top 10) and top 10 in goal assists last year (two spots below Patrick Dangerfield). I'd agree he's super frustrating to watch sometimes. But saying he's the reason for us going poorly when GWS walked through our entire team all night is rough.
Now that's how you respond to a disappointing loss. Well played GWS. Back to near premiership favorites you go.
Can't blame Fagan for Joe and Eric's inability to kick straight, sadly
Eric had a kick?
According to some Lions fan you can. It's all Fagan's fault. 🤦🤦🤦
GWS just walked the ball out of our forward 50 all night. We're defending transition so poorly but I really don't know who I'd drop. Structurally I think we look better without a 3rd tall so would remove Gardiner, but unsure how you fix this team. Overall, we are super disjointed and look easy to play against
I'm embarrassed to be a Brisbane fan tonight. Genuinely want an apology from Fagan and the captains tomorrow.
You’ll get the old “lessons” statement and you’ll like it
First time travelling down for a mens game at Manuka and oh boy what a blast. The place is such a vibe, the kid and I counted all 18 clubs guernseys represented in the crowd, the place just loves footy.
We played Manuka bingo, too! Got the whole set minus the Suns before the first bounce. Thank God for that teenager strolling around in the Suns guernsey or I wouldn't have got bingo.
The kid in the Suns ANZAC guernsey? If so the same kid saved us too!
Haha, I think that's the one. I reckon the Swans were the biggest third-party merch around (at least in our area). Probably reflects the 2000s where we got a lot of Swans away games.
Also Sydney is like right up the road from us and the Swans are highly popular there, and around NSW in general
No no no that can’t be it!
I saw a Suns hat within about 2 minutes of arriving standing right next to me lol
Brisbane ruled out as contenders I think. Yes, it's still early, but my reading is four clubs can win the flag this year. Both Sydney sides and Geelong or Carlton. Having said that, GWS seem way more likely than the swans, Carlton and Geelong I'm struggling to read.

A brave man writes off the cats imo. They could easily lose the next 6 matches and show me wrong, but they've been proving people wrong for 15 years so we'll see. A blues flag though, my misso is blue and through, she would flip out. Much respect for the squad though so kind of hoping.
What is it they said at the beginning of 2022? Something-something old, something-something slow?
Don’t worry Fagan will take his “learnings” from this game and wont panic… we’ll bring dev Robertson in for tunstill so Fagan can claim he’s made his change and we’ll dish up the same shit next week
Christ I hate the word "learnings". It's like the football industry were all abducted by aliens one night, and when their minds were wiped before being put back the greys accidentally erased the word "lesson" too.
It’s a part of their ‘journey’
Ummmm devs out for a month
Oops better make it prior then
Or sharpy, or fucking reville
Woosha loved that term when he coached us.
I like GWS. I want them to win the premiership. Not because I like them, but because it would be fucking funny if they won one before freo
Like why do you have to find a reason to drag freo through the mud?
That's what an anchor does.
Silly Fremantle the premiership will never dock if you try to get there with the anchor down
It’s because I love freo.
Tasmanian team will win one before Freo
It's just not clicking this year, I think we should definitely be more adventurous with selection to give some players some genuine pressure to perform but I think this calling for Fagan's head is ridiculous when there is no genuine alternative available, unless someone can name someone- I am all ears but it's just so reactionary.

Chris Scott is coming home lad
You're dreaming, I mean yes absolutely but you are dreaming.
[Fagan watching tonight from the sidelines in Canberra](https://i.imgur.com/ccyxDGl.jpeg)
Only 1 junk time goal That's nice
Tough to feel positive about our season now after the start to the season we’ve had. It just seems that after a break, and the opposition switches up tactics and the momentum inevitably changes, we just give up. We’ve played 5 years of incredible footy, and after being in the wilderness for so long it would hurt so much to lose this window, but it’s sure starting to look like it.
Not enjoying that free smoke
Every GWS player looks like taranto
Melbourne lost to this team you say?
to be fair we played them at their home ground of the MCG
Both a long way from GWS
i dont think the lions are looking like a returning grand finalist
Optimistic outlook: no home finals
That Totti goal in the 06 world cup should never be shown on Australian television. What were they thinking?
Can someone tell fagan and the coaching staff we dont actually need to tank this season to get ashcroft?
That Hipwood contract is going to be an absolute millstone around Brisbane's neck.
Anyone else starting to think that USA trip has done a lot more damage then the club is letting on?
I mean Adelaide preached for years that camp didn’t do anything to disrupt the group and then after time when you heard the stories and people were comfortable to talk it was pretty fucked
That and the Olympic Stadium fisaco is not helping matters either. I thought they will make it back for another deep run but at this rate, they will miss the 8 by end of June-July unless they get their shit together.
We are proper shit. What a sad day for the lion 😢
Never tipping Brisbane again...
Lachie Neale went totally missing from that game 3 votes (Hey I had to before someone else)
Point to the spot on the medal where lachie neale touched you
I’m scared for next week.
I think it’s fair to say Brisbane are a bigger disappointment than Adelaide this year, and that’s saying a lot
Well... Western Sydney were definitely Greater tonight. An Auskick team would have beaten us tonight. Zero heart, zero effort, no pressure. Ran like they were wearing cement boots. Season is all but over.
Dunk him with the orange Gatorade!
This was the passing of a Grand Final baton. From 2023s to 2024s
So I think after this our 3rd qrt percentage is now at something like 41\~42%, Fagan must be the most boring man alive, we just dont turn up after half time
Calling it now Giants 2024 Premiers
Lions are cooked, top4 gone and finals are a flicker
Eric Stinkwood
Look on the ~~bright~~ marginally less dark side Brisbane fans. If you beat us last year this would be considered one of the worst premiership hangovers ever and everyone would be laughing at you
Everyone *is* laughing... might as well have a flag to wipe our tears with.
Feels more like disbelief more than anything because I don’t see that many people mocking you
Nah man I cop it all the fucking time for being a lions fan, joke of a performance
We're still laughing.
Lachie Neale looking for another team to bail out on
Id move him on, if it means you can keep mccluggage. The Ashcroft boys will take over his role.
Sick, we didn't lose by the most this round. Great success!
Haven't you only had the biggest loss in opening round?
Why would you remind me!?
Darcy Jones! We’ve had this kid waiting in the wings the whole time?! What a debut!
2 of the 3 best songs in the league played today. Also, I have more tips correct already than I got all last week.
Fucking pathetic
Fucking joke how selfish some of our players are. Daniher can fuck off tomorrow.
Looking forward to an easy 4 points up in the Gabba
Everyone not named Ryan Lester, Harris Andrews, or Cam Rayner needs to issue a public apology from that shitfest. Well played GWS, they were brilliant.
Check out those kids shit stirring with the Swans beanies, sick cunts 🤙
Well we're shit again. Window has shut - the last few years were fun but we came up short
Absolutely outclassed
Yo the brions suck again.
I had more fun last year
I just want to say as a casual Lions fan I went to bed just before half-time when the Lions were a goal or two behind and I feel very happy about the extra sleep and missing that debacle.
Oh, I thought the Lions had another bye this week and didn't turn up.
does afl have a discord ?
Brisbane might be about cooked like me
Boo yah!!! Best win of the season! Great bounce back after the Carlton loss, and stick that in ya Las Vegas crack pipe Lions
Thank you ESPN for locking me out of the ability to switch my tip to Brisbane when I realised Rainer was playing. Phew.
Just a reminder orange team, mum said you’re not allowed to win a premiership before us.
Callaghan had a terrific game but Dal Santo saying he has the making of having the same level of impact as Bontempelli does at the Bulldogs sure is something. Does he honestly think he's on track to be the best player, or at least one of the best, in the entire comp?
Fairly sure callaghans mum is beveridges cousin. So it’s not too far fetched
No idea about that but Dal Santo is Bontempelli's cousin. Anyway, point being that it seems a little unnecessary to talk him up as being potentially on the same level as (arguably) the best player in the entire comp. That's not shitting on Callaghan in any way, I just don't think it's helpful - based on my post above being downvoted I guess others think he will be the best in the comp?
The Giants have always had big wraps on him. He may not be a bont, but i hope he's as good as Harley reid.
Well, thank fuck we don’t have to deal with that side until the end of the year.
We play you in round 10 :)
