We are the pride of Brisbane town,
We wear maroon, blue and gold.
We will always fight for victory,
Like Fitzroy, and Bears of old.
All for one, and one for all,
We will answer to the call.
Go Lions, Brisbane Lions,
We'll kick the winning score.
You'll hear our mighty roar

Brisbane have 2 chances. Only if Buckley was still there, and if nun had departed or aged since 2004.

Get a grip newbie!

St Kilda odds are longer now I reckon with the captain looking like he's mince.

Geelong should still win, but Bulldogs are shortening imo.
 

Just supporting my team Kennas

(I thought the Lions would lose the 3rd qrt which they did but didnt think they'd lose the last...shut off with 12 or so minutes left and conceeded 5 in a row)

Apparently Roo will be back sometime later in the season.
 
Go the Dockers!

Best start to a season yet, driven by the young blokes. Will be dangerous for a few years, premiership window for us opens next year I think. Need a bit of luck but I think we have the personnel to do it.

Freo!!!
 
Hate to say but the Dockers played really well. Deserved the win. No excuse for the Cats. Big lift next week, when the Flag is raised at the Cattery.
Dockers starting well, but I think they will drop off as always.
 
Shame about Riewoldt's injury, I really can't see him play for the rest of year.
Hope he does, as he is great to watch.
Saints will see how much they need him now.
I think the Saints are a good enough side too still go all the way, except if they run into the Cats of course
 
Boy haven't Carlton, Essendon & Adelaide been disappointing so far this year?

At least Adelaide have excuses with a long injury list that has also affected their pre-season. The Bombers & Carlton have no such excuses though and atm have some glaring holes in their lists imo, will be interesting to see if they improve at all during the season, I'm expecting the Blues to get at least a little bit better as the season wears on.

On the flip side how improved are Port & Freo so far, both sides are looking reasonably dangerous especially Freo. I wonder if they can keep it up or whether they will fade?

St Kilda, Geelong, Bulldogs are still my favourites for the flag at this stage. And Richmond are surely a monty to win the wooden spoon.

Wasn't expecting that! Go Brisbane!!
 

Judd's back like a ball magnet and with Kruezer will be tough for any team in the comp.

IMO Tippett is the most over-rated forward in the comp. Adelaide have no forward line. They will be lucky to beat Richmond if they have more injuries.
 
Speaking of disappointing, how pathetic were Hawthorn last night. That is why I rate us a borderline finals team at best.

Our backline is a joke, Murphy, Guerra, Shoenmakers all turn the ball over with amazing ease and regularity. Franklin & Roughead are nowhere near the players they were 2 years ago, neither of them work hard enough imo - and what is the go with Rougheads kicking.

If it wasn't for Hodge, Mitchel & maybe Rioli we would be a bottom 4 side imo.

In short we suck.
 
Based on what has happened this year I think Brisbane, Freo and Sydney are the teams that have gone under the radar, until now at least. Brisbane has probably had the easiest start of the three teams in terms of not playing the top teams (I don't rate the Dogs), we will see how Freo goes against the Saints today. Swans have had a pretty easy line up as well but did play the Saints in round one and very nearly came out on top.

The top 8 this year could be a bit different this year
 

Saints to go 4-0 against Freo today. IMO
 
Disclosure for those that don't know:
I'M A HUGE BRISBANE LIONS SUPPORTER!!!

Very impressed with their start to this season and to come from 4 goals down at half time to beat the Bulldogs (a definite contender this year) by 22 points was a great effort.

I don't see them as flag holders at the end of the season just yet to be honest. However, I'd be disappointed if they didn't make top 6 but that will depend on lack of injuries during the season. They have some wonderful young players who need some finals experience but also have some great experience up front and in the defensive line.

Anyway .... GO THE MIGHTY LIONS!!
 

I think we have a lot more depth this year compared with the last couple which looks promising.

AHHH go the Lionss!!!
