    #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!

    #155: Copying Carlton

    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 from a bumpy 0-2 start to the year to make it to 6 and 3 as the fixture starts to get a little trickier. The table-topping Dockers, the always-tricky Giants and Damien Hardwick’s annoying Suns all lie ahead in the next month of footy, but before we get there, it’s time for the Grand Final Rematch. Brisbane and Geelong are the two greatest sides of the decade so far, with so many classics amongst our last few years of matchups. And the week ahead gives us the chance all over again to enjoy memories like Cam’s prelim goal on the left, the third quarter goal that sealed Lachie’s miraculous resurrection, and the final siren at the MCG last year that sealed our place as one of footy’s great sides. Also this week: -Maybe our favourite Joe Daniher story yet -Should Ty come back in up forward or down back? -Our thoughts on who Brisbane’s biggest competitor for the flag is this year And much more!

    #154: Whiteboardgate

    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-free day of enjoyable footy in our third go at footy’s new primetime slot of 12:30pm for the year - well, at least, it was stress-free, until a rogue Auskick dad’s photo blew up to become the greatest scandal the game has ever seen. It’s Monday May the 4th as we sit down to record, and more 48 hours on from the Bombers game, we’re still talking about a whiteboard. Thankfully, our first Friday night game for the year is fast approaching, meaning something more interesting to talk about is on the horizon. Also this week: -The new Victory Lap merch range is now on sale -Zac Bailey’s update on his playing future   -Could this be Michael Voss’s last week as coach? And much more!

    #153: Poke The Bear

    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 last two of them. On Sunday, the clouds parted and the blue sky returned in Brisbane. The same thing happened for the Lions, with last week’s loss against the Demons now a distant memory after a dominant win over the Crows. Also this week: -Dom’s emotionally preparing himself for Zac to leave -Should Canberra have an AFL side? -Big news about the Victory Lap marathon And much more!

    #152: A Steven King Horror

    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 afternoon nailbiter. With some questionable form, some even more questionable umpiring calls, and a new set of injuries to worry about, it was a gloomy afternoon at the MCG.   It’s probably fair to say this is our first gloomy episode of the podcast for the year too, as we try to turn things around ahead of Sunday’s long-awaited Gabba return against the Crows. This week on the podcast: -Our concerns about the tackle stats -Who replaces Noah Answerth? -Dom’s Twitter chat with David King And much more!

    #151: Winning In Wine Country

    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 least 2028 as well.   Today on the Roar Deal, we’ll recap our fourth-straight Gather Round win and turn our attention to our first trip to the MCG since last year’s Grand Final. Also this week: -Reports from Alice Springs & Hobart -How do we replace Dayne Zorko? -A new nickname for Sam Draper And much more! The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable.
