The Roar Deal Dom Fay and Michael Whiting

With the pressure on and the criticism intensifying, the Lions needed everything to go right against the Suns. Instead, we were dealt one of the all-time horror injury runs, yet still somehow found a way to prevail in one of the bravest wins in recent Lions history.

Now, we're counting the cost ahead of a clash against an equally-desperate Crows, with more changes on the horizon.

-An in-depth recap of the Logan Morris debut story that will go down in history

-The crystal ball is growing in confidence

We headed to Canberra with high hopes of turning the season around, and instead find ourselves at the lowest ebb we've known as Lions fans for a very long time.

This week on the podcast, we undertake a full autopsy of everything that went wrong against the Giants, and where things sit in the aftermath. Is there still hope for 2024? What about the bigger picture? And how is all of this going to play out in Sunday's QClash?

-Dom thinks the playing list need a romantic weekend away

-Is it time to give Logan Morris a go?

-The lowest-stakes crystal ball ever

And much more!

After the soaring highs of the Demons win, we've come crashing back to earth with a worrying loss against the Cats.

With only a few days left until our ANZAC Day clash against the Giants, can we find what's needed to keep the 2024 season alive?

It may have taken until mid-April, but the premiership campaign finally feels underway after a dominant Cam Rayner-led win over the Demons at the MCG.

Less than 24 hours after the match, we're sitting down to bask in our first great win of 2024 and begin to look ahead to a massive Gabba clash against the Cats.

It might've taken until April, but we're finally off the mark for the 2024 season with a commanding win over North Melbourne in Norwood.

Now, we return to the MCG for the first time since last year's Grand Final with the chance to make a strong statement that we're still a genuine contender.

Also this week:

-Kai Lohmann finally gets (and takes) his chance

-Could the genius of the Darcy Gardiner move be revealed against Melbourne?

-Mike Whiting's marathon preparation

And much more!

We've lost three games in a row for the first time since 2019, and suddenly the panic level has risen a few notches.

Following an Easter Thursday letdown, we do our best to assess how serious the situation is, what the root of the problems might be, and whether there's any hope left in the 2024 season.
