198 home & away games, 15 Lions wins, two or three emotional crashes on the Roar Deal, and after all of it, we find ourselves in a familiar situation: It’s all coming down to the final round. After another late season QC

The whiplash is back! Worryingly bad to unbelievably good is a pattern we’ve seen from the Lions a few times in recent years, and Friday night’s domination of the Hawks has given us another dose. A loss would’ve spelt th

The late season shocker strikes again. In both of the last two seasons, just as we seemed on track for a strong finals tilt, the Lions dished up a couple of late July and early August defeats that had us all worried. In

June began with the Lions sitting precariously in 9th spot following three consecutive losses. Fast forward a couple of months, and July ends with us entrenched in the top 4 by both a win and percentage, with our seventh

The current era of Brisbane Lions success began with a shock win over reigning premiers West Coast in Round 1, 2019. What none of us would have guessed that night, was that we would make it until at least 2027 without lo

We needed percentage, and percentage is what we got. Sunday twilight against the side in last spot was hardly ever going to give us a blockbuster, but it proved to be everything the Lions needed, gaining just enough perc

The despair of May gives way to the delight of July! A month ago, we all looked ahead to a stretch of footy that included the Suns, Swans & Cats, fearing that our season might be over on the other side. Instead, as we re

And just like that, the season is alive once again. After the loss to Freo that left us sitting perilously at 6 wins and 6 losses, we were all looking ahead to the next month of footy with a sense of fear and trepidation

We started 2026 with a dream burning bright. After the extraordinary joy of back to back flags, hopes were high that we might just be on the cusp of seeing another three peat. It was a dream that took some heavy hits in

It’s been a bit bumpy, it’s been a bit tough, and it’s had one or two existential crises in it - in other words, a pretty customary first half of the season by the Brisbane Lions. And now, as we get the long-awaited repr

Just when things looked to be fading away, the Lions we know and love returned with a statement backs-against-the-wall win to breathe life into the hat trick campaign. It was Brisbane at our best from the start of the ga

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

The last time we went to Engie Stadium, we left with a historic match full of memories we’ll never forget. This time, the same thing has happened again - but for all the wrong reasons. Amidst a resoundingly successful er

Round 10 in 2025 saw a frustrating and unexpected loss to the Demons at the Gabba, leading many to question the hunger and application of the reigning premiers. This week, history has rhymed, with Round 10 2026 leading u

We all knew Carlton had one good half of footy in them - I just don’t think any of us expected it to be the second half! After a scratchy finish at the Gabba, we’re just glad to have banked the four points, recovering fr

For the first time in a very long time, the Lions went into a match against a struggling opponent that they should have beaten comfortably without any struggles, and actually ended up doing just that. It was a stress-fre

Two years ago, it was the ANZAC Round that had us just about giving up hope of ever seeing this Lions group holding up a flag. This year, ANZAC Round was an emphatic reminder of why these Lions have gone on to win the la

Just when you’re starting to enjoy footy again for the year, it goes and breaks your heart. It’s only mid-April, but we’re already up against it after suffering our third loss for the year against the Demons in a Sunday

For the first time in 2026, we’re on the right side of the ledger. A hard-fought win over North Melbourne in the Barossa sees us now sitting 3 and 2, with the regional South Australian grounds off the cards until at leas
