September 11, 2014: An actual Lion...


A real lion? Like, an actual, real-life, god damn lion.

I hope we've finally made it, that fantastic point in AFL history when the quest for matchday experience has finally jumped the shark lion and we can get back to, you know, watching footy.

It began, as most crazy ideas tend to, in Adelaide. Gil McLachlan has become so enamored with the Power fans pre-match Never Tear Us Apart karaoke session that he has issued an edict to all clubs to lift their matchday experience to that level. While GWS may struggle to engage the seven people who attend their games to create an electric atmosphere, and Melbourne clubs have complained that the MCG and Etihad still refuse to let them do much in the way of atmosphere, the Lions took it seriously.

Those whacky Queenslanders, an actual lion at a football game.

In the news...
Martin Gleeson and Tyson Goldsack highlight today's re-signings, while Jack Newnes has also agreed to stay at St. Kilda.

Ben McEvoy has survived an appeal and will be allowed to play in Box Hill's preliminary final on Sunday. Williamstown's appeal was rejected, despite McEvoy only playing 5 of the required 6 VFL games to qualify for finals.

The Dees have opened negotiations with Nathan Jones, hoping to secure the bald former captain through their rebuild.
