Autumn is here, the Gabba goal posts are up, and it’s time to unfurl another flag.

On the last Saturday of September last year, a fourth quarter avalanche sealed the club’s fifth flag since the merger. This weekend, on the first Saturday of March, we begin the quest for our sixth.

And we have one of the biggest Roar Deal episodes of all time to launch season 2026.

Coming up on the podcast this week:

-We preview the massive season opener against the Bulldogs and the drama of our first team selection for 2026

-The club’s General Manager of Footy, Danny Daly, joins us to talk through injuries, selection dilemmas, and a sneaky question about Zac Bailey’s contract

-One of the best video editors in the country - Alex Cottier - the man behind last year’s AFL.com.au premiership documentary Pound The Rock - joins us ahead of this Wednesday night’s launch of 22 Days, the AFL website’s 2025 Premiership documentary

-The crystal ball makes its first appearance for 2026

-After months of work in the studios, we have the premiere of the revamped Brisbane Lions club song

And much more!
