The Year To Come - Brisbane

Warwick Capper - Another Recruiting Coup

B is for Brisbane.  B is for Basket Case.  No, not everything boils down to Fev himself, but if they hadn't spent all that money on the big fella, then they would be at least three good players better off.  Brennan, Bradshaw, Rischitelli... handy names.  Yes, they still have Black n Brown, and Daniel Rich would make most teams - although he didn't come on last year like I thought he would - but the Lions are headed for the bottom four big time.

They lack passion, they lack guts, they lack determination, they lack skill.  And this from a team coached by a man who epitomises these things.  Vossy's coaching expedition is looking like Timmy Watson's effort more and more - started well out of the block and then died in the arse (for the record Timbo finished 12-1-31).  Nup, they'll struggle in 2011.  It could be back to the bad ole days of the Bears for Brissy.  The only real question is whether Vossy will retire before or after Round 12.

Finishing Position: 14th-17th
