    #163: We’re Back

    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 reach the other side, we find ourselves back in the top four, with the hat trick dream well and truly revived. It took twenty-two years for our last win in Geelong. We only had to wait 377 days for the next one, with a first-quarter avalanche setting up a famous win that sets us up perfectly for the run to September. And just when you think things couldn’t get any better, Hugh McCluggage and Dayne Zorko return to join the party.

    #162: Are We Back?

    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. Gold Coast, Sydney and Geelong all loomed as mighty obstacles in the form we’d been showing, with even one win from that stretch seeming unlikely. But now, following our best performance for the season against the Swans, we’ve ticked the first two boxes and have our eyes set on the third. Also this week: -Logan’s three quarter time controversy -Conor McKenna’s career revival -Why does Chris Fagan still not get the respect he deserves? And much more!

    #161: Sydney Showdown

    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 the first half of the year. A steady stream of injuries, stars down on form, and a third quarter against GWS that some of us are still having nightmares about dented our belief. Thankfully, wins over the Suns & Tigers did enough to steady the ship, giving us a chance to enter the bye with the dream still alive.  Now, as we enter the second half of the season, there’s very little margin for error left.  The task is clear: from here on out, we need to see the best of Brisbane, and we need to see it pretty much weekly, or 2026 could slip away from us quickly. Also this week: -How do the Lions navigate the next stage of their list strategy? -Dom's finally been convinced by Freo -What we think the AFL needs to do to stay competitive with the NRL And much more!

    #160: Mid Season Stocktake

    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 reprieve from the weekly rollercoaster of footy with this weekend’s bye, we’re taking stock of season 2026 following our eighth win for the year against the Tigers, leaving us sitting in seventh spot as we turn for home. At some stages this season, 8-6 at the bye would’ve seemed a disaster - at other times, it might’ve seemed like a miracle - what we’re hoping, though, is that it might end up being the platform we need for a tilt at the threepeat dream. Also this week: -Should the AFL change its timings for the World Cup? -Twenty minutes of trade talk -The crystal ball’s greatest ever prediction And much more!

    #159: Morris & Marathons

    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 game, with the confidence and camaraderie back in full force for a win we so desperately needed. A win over the Suns proved our turning point in 2024, and again in the semi-final last year - now, with the bye nearly in sight, we’re hoping this might prove the launching pad for another surge to September. Also, the marathon is done! A story that began last July reached its culmination in the Botanical Gardens late on Sunday morning, with Mike Whiting joining Chris Fagan in the supercoach realm of taking on a basket case and turning things around. We’ve got the full rundown from the Victory Lap, with a gloomy month behind us and joy on the agenda on all fronts. Also this week: -Where does Eric come back into the side? -Our horrific record against Richmond -Dom's scheme to turn Logan off the idea of Tasmania And much more!

    #158: A Season Slipping Away

    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 last And much more!

    #157: A Giant Disaster

    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 era under Chris Fagan, there has been a scattering of very dark days amidst all the joy. Round 1 against Port Adelaide in 2023 comes to mind, as does ANZAC Day against the Giants in 2024, as well as the Carrara QClash last year. What unfolded in Homebush on Sunday afternoon, though, takes the cake as the worst of the lot of them. After two remarkable premiership seasons, it was always going to take something drastic for the footy media to consider writing the Lions off in season 2026. And something drastic is exactly what we’ve just seen. Now, we’ve got to try to make sense of this disaster and pick up the pieces, ahead of the table-topping Dockers making their way to Brisbane looking to land a knockout blow to our threepeat hopes. Also this week: -The extraordinary legacy of Neale Daniher -Was Scott Pendlebury’s record-breaking game poorly handled? -Dom’s injury scare two weeks out from the marathon And much more!

    #156: The Sleeping Giants

    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 us to feel a range of similarly flat emotions.   Amidst a wet and worrying Thursday night at the Gabba, a dominant Geelong win has given us our greatest concerns for the season so far. With a range of stars still a long way from their best, defensive intent seemingly waning, and the top four starting to move further away, there are plenty of concerns amongst the Lions faithful this week. If we need a bit of hope, though, the location of our next match might just help us find it. All Lions fans felt about as bleak as it gets midway through the third quarter of our last trip to Engie Stadium, and now, as we prepare to head back to the Giants home ground for the first time since the Homebush Heist, we’re hoping we might leave feeling similarly uplifted. Also this week: -A deep dive into the stats behind our poor form -Reminiscing on the Homebush Heist   -Dom shares his hatred of Freo & Wharfie Time And much more!
