true good point Clarkson should be there. I like what Nicks is building.
Who would win an AFL 'Coach of the Month' award for March?
Yea early on, so far you’re reservations on Brisbane have proved correct. Midfield needs to get better at two way running.
There will be no more finals heartache for Brisbane: things are going be different this time
I actually think our recruits are good. Gunston playing closer to goal I think will work well. Dunkley immediately becomes top 3 midfielder for us. Mckenna will provide good run of the backline albeit might take him a couple of weeks.
The loss of Adams is big hopefully Payne and Darragh Joyce can help fill that void.

Yea good point good test the first four games. I’m not exactly sure on what ground they’ll use. There’s talk of Metricon I don’t know how that could work with GCS. The new training facility Brighton Homes Arena only has 8,000 capacity. It will be interesting to see what ground they end up using.

Yea I like that suggestion, good call!
Who can break into your club's Best and Fairest top 10? Part 3
Yea, it will be interesting to see how he goes in Melbourne’s midfield.
Who can break into your club's Best and Fairest top 10? Part 2
That’s a good point, I was thinking of him for Lions and Tom Mitchell for Collingwood. I thought I’d have players who didn’t make top 10 regardless of club.
Who can break into your club's Best and Fairest top 10? Part 1
True, I forgot about Fyfe. Hopefully, he can have a full run at it this season.
Who can break into your club's Best and Fairest top 10? Part 1
I agree, I think we’re definitely in with a chance. It will be interesting to see if they use Handscomb.
Can Australia claim their first Test series win in India since 2004?
Yea that’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of it like that.
BBL is not what it once was but there's still plenty to love
Yea I reckon you’re right, it’s more comparable to a Border- Gavasker series.
Australia vs South Africa preview: Why this series is bigger than a home Ashes
I agree Adams has definitely been our best defender this year.
Mid-season review: Brisbane Lions
Hahaha thanks, I meant closest in Australia. You can’t much closer than last year the result and the matches in the previous series.
Why this could be the closest Ashes series in more than a decade
haha good idea, does Marnus Labuschagne get in for his delivery at Old Trafford?
My top ten Ashes dismissals: Part 2
I agree a big oversight of me to not include a spinners delivery. Swann and Lyon have bowled their fair share of good balls through the past series.
My top ten Ashes dismissals: Part 2
good point, missed a lot of good ones from 05 series!
My top ten Ashes dismissals: Part 1
Yea you’re right, I tried to not go the obvious one. Although, the Milne one is definitely the deciding moment of the game. I agree saints probs win in ET
The top five 'what if' grand final moments
Yea, sorry my intention was to say if he’d taken the mark. You’re right they couldn’t have paid the free kick to Sampi
The top five 'what if' grand final moments
yes that’s a good point, I forgot about all of that
The top five 'what if' grand final moments
Yea good points I gotta hand it too GWS they are very resilient. Every time I think about writing them off they bounce back. I really liked Jesse Hogan’s game on Saturday nothing would make me happier than too see him kick a bag

Yea Ross definitely been the standout so far.
