    #180: The End Of An Era

    And now, the aftermath arrives. So much joy meets so much sadness, as we’re still digesting the greatest Grand Final win in living memory alongside the bombshell that it was Chris Fagan’s final act as Brisbane Lions coach. With October upon us and the trade period in full swing, we’re all a bit all over the shop right now. Some of us are still in the euphoria of Wharfie Time - others, however, have had the sadness of the Fagan departure take centre stage. And for others still, they’re trying to turn their attention to the next chapter in the story of this extraordinary football club. It’s an emotional buffet for Lions fans at the moment, and everything is on the menu. This week: -Who will be the next coach of the Lions? -Why the individual moments of Grand Final greatness are getting overlooked -The future of Kiddy Coleman And much more! We are here thanks to Kartable - planning for later or needing now? Streamlined pricing and procurement for all of your trade materials, supporting services & site deliveries. Go Lions!

    #178: Equal Dogs

    With four minutes and eighteen seconds left, as Wharfie Time rang around the MCG, the script seemed written: The threepeat had proven to be just a bridge too far. Fremantle Premiership merch was already on sale, the Auskickers had their Dockers guernseys on ready for the medal presentation, and Freo fans everywhere were hugging and crying as the enormity of the moment they had waited so long for started to hit them. And of course all this was happening. Because it was over. We just don’t see comebacks in Grand Finals - certainly not like that, certainly not that late. In the one hundred and thirty years of the competition’s history, it’s never happened before. This Lions group, though, don’t seem all that bothered by history - at least, not unless they’re the ones making it. And in four minutes of glory at the MCG, our Lions did exactly that. Under the highest possible stress, with stakes that do not come any greater and a clock rapidly ticking down, the 2026 premiership was won. Charlie Cameron started it, Zac Bailey continued it, Logan Morris finished it off, and Will Ashcroft tied it all together, officially launching this group into footy folklore for the rest of time. 2024 made these Lions a great side, 2025 made them brilliant, but the hat trick cements things - this Lions group is unquestionably now one of the greatest teams to ever play the game. This is the rare air of a dynasty. Enjoy our 2026 Premiership special thanks to Kartable!

    #176: Hugh Makes History

    These are the days you live for as a footy fan. 3 points down with less than a minute left in a prelim, in front of more than 95, 000 people in the MCG - it’s the stuff of fan fiction, of kids playing in the backyard and making up the most epic scenarios they can imagine. And what better man to step up to the plate than Hugh McCluggage. The first one drafted under Chris Fagan, the first top pick who stayed, the quietly spoken boy who’s become a man at the club, the one who’s career has gone from strength to strength… Until this year, where the curveballs have hit, the form has dropped, and things have been tough most of the way through. All of that is ancient history now, though, with two late Hugh goals sending the Lions into their fourth straight Grand Final, equalling the extraordinary run of Leigh Matthew’s Lions and providing the most remarkable opportunity: the threepeat is only one more win away. This week on the podcast: -The blow-by-blow account of a prelim we’ll never forget -Who could come in for Lachie Neale? -Our Grand Final week plans We are here thanks to Kartable - Planning for later or needing now?

    #174: Seven Minutes Of Heaven

    Never doubt the Brisbane bounce back! Yet again, a shocking defeat has been followed by a stunning victory, as the Lions rediscover their ‘on’ mode once more to end Adelaide’s season. More importantly, Saturday night’s win has remarkably put us through to our fifth straight prelim, making it six of the last seven years that Brisbane have made it at least as far as the final four. It’s a remarkable achievement, but it won’t be enough for this Lions group, with the legacy-defining shot at a threepeat now only two wins away. Saturday twilight prelims at the MCG have been a happy hunting ground over the last two seasons. The two clubs who have played the most prelim finals there since 2000 are Geelong and Collingwood. We’ve already taken care of them, and now we get a crack at the third side on the list, as we prepare to play what is remarkably our first ever final against the Hawks since the merger. This week on the show: -Our perspectives on the 5-goal blitz   -Chris Fagan’s an emotional management genius -How do we tame the Wizard again?   We are here thanks to Kartable - Planning for later or needing now? Streamlined pricing and procurement for all of your trade materials, supporting services & site deliveries. Go Lions!
