#158: A Season Slipping Away

from The Roar Deal · host Dom Fay and Michael Whiting

Winter is here, and while the skies in Brisbane are blue, the forecast on a football front is starting to look bleak.  As June begins, all Lions fans are trying to process a third consecutive loss that has a few too many hallmarks of a great side beginning its slide.Many of those who’ve been on the journey a while now say that similarities to 2005 are starting to appear, with the sense of an ending growing stronger with every loss.  And yet, the optimistic spin is that the season is still very much alive, the list is very much still talented enough, and this Lions group thrive on this kind of adversity.Welcome to the Roar Deal, and as we sit here at the halfway mark of the season, things are very delicately poised. We may not be in the abyss just yet, but we are certainly leaning over and taking a good look in.  Also this week:-David King has written us off at last  -Our thoughts on the James Hird story-Dom’s marathon week is here at lastAnd much more!In the good weeks and the bad weeks, we are here always thanks to Kartable - Planning for later or needing now?
