@BradKlibansky Just another reflection on how poor the 2026 fixture is.
Blind Freddy knew none of these teams would be competitive in 2026.
Sadly, blind Freddy is not a member of the AFL executive led by the Dill.

@thomasjameoneil Are Draper and Allen on big bucks, or are they just taking the cap space vacated by Daniher and McInerney?
The offers Bailey has been receiving would make him the highest paid Lion. He is good, but he is not the best player at the Lions.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@finna12345 @traderadio He was not getting a game at Gold Coast. He played just one game in 2019 before he was traded.
He is now a 2x premiership player and a first team regular at the Lions.
Very different commodity now with much higher value.
A pick in the mid 20’s is fair value

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@traderadio Low rent act by a low rent club which is spending big but really does not know how to act in the big boys part of town.
It is no wonder why they have one just the one flag in 100 years.
Aleer will get to a good home and he will star when he plays the Saints.

@sirswampthing @AFL Has there ever been a side to win a premiership with 8 players 22 or under?

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@RalphyHeraldSun He doesn’t have to make contact with ball and contact with Elliott was from the side and incidental.
His sole intent was to spoil the ball.
Rule 18.5.2 details that an arm chop has to be deliberate to be a free.
Umpire got the call 💯 percent correct

@brisbanelions April Fool’s Day

@RalphyHeraldSun Good conversation starter Ralph. Adelaide Oval is special for its beauty, the quality of the view and the fact you can get great atmosphere with a crowd of 35,000.

The MCG has its capacity, but is not a great place to watch sport in 30% of its seats as you are to far away

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@SimonPressley @MCG @brisbanelions @AFL Same same.
Born in 2001 and 2003 respectively, my boys have stuck fat with the Lions all their lives. My youngest attended the 2002 GF whilst in his mother’s womb.
Last year we went to the GF in high anticipation. Honoured to have had my boys by my side this year 🦁🏆

@FootyIsMyJam You can never solve a problem which you do not recognise. Not sure St K has anyone but themselves to blame for their inept recruiting. F/S is a lottery which favours no club in particular and Northern academies are essential for the game’s prosperity north of the Murray.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@MichaelWhiting Lohmann outstanding. Hippy presented all night. Joe in ruck. Super effort. Bring on the GF

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@MichaelWhiting @JoshGabelich Sadly many times harder to get AA based in Brisbane than at other clubs. Never been a QLD rep on selection panel to advocate. WA and SA always have someone with rest from the Bitorian centre of the universe.

@hasumpstuffedup @kymSA5000 Simply not true. He regains possession from his bounce inside the second of them. At best ran 16 metres. I am not a crows fan, but I have two eyes and am sick of poor umpiring in big moments.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@hasumpstuffedup He may have run 16 metres, but guarantee you plenty have run further this weekend and not been pinged. Umpires need to pay everyone if they call that running too far. Guarantee the umpire who paid it missed the bounce.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

Running too far? No way. Disgraceful umpiring ruining another exciting finish. #AFLPiesCrows

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@RalphyHeraldSun Cameron tackle had no force and whilst Lever’s head hit the ground, the impact was low as Cameron did not slam Lever into the turf.
Free kick yes, fine at a stretch. Suspension no way.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@dangerfield35 @RalphyHeraldSun Always best to watch a game with both eyes open. Plenty that did not go the Lions way as well.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@MarkGottlieb @lionsaflw 💯So true. Bree Brock and Starce have been sensational. Stiff not to have 4 flags. The 3x GF’s they have lost all by a goal or less. The best group of girls. They have so much fun together.

[Ian Selth @selthy15]

@Riley_Gaines_ I support your stance on transgender athletes 💯. Suspect Dani Laidley would as well.
Played 151 games as a male pro footballer in one of the toughest sports in the world. Was tough as nails. Then coached pro level for 149 games, whilst living a secret transgender life.

@ChuckBerry1969 McDonald/Cummins not the sharpest tactical coach/captain combination in Australian cricket history🙁
