Brisbane Lions Lowdown

We’re charging into Round 11 and things are heating up fast. With just two games to go, Brisbane are sitting pretty in the top four after a fifth straight win, dismantling Essendon at Windy Hill by 38 points.

This week’s Lowdown dives into:

🏆 The road to a third premiership (and maybe a McClelland payday?)

💪 Ally Anderson’s midfield masterclass

✨ Claudia Wright’s dream debut

⚡ Ruby Svarc filling the Hodder void

📉 The one stat the Lions still need to fix before finals

Plus — Ash doesn’t hold back on AFLW scheduling, hands out a few gold stars, and throws a cheeky “bin vs basket” call or two.

The finals race is on, the vibe is up, and the Lions are roaring. Hit play and get your weekly dose of chaos, insight, and Ash-isms on The Lowdown W Edition.

Fifteen years. 

Countless drafts. 

A few heartbreaks — and two premiership cups to show for it.

🦁 This episode on The Lowdown, Ash takes you inside the masterplan that built Brisbane’s modern dynasty — from the scars of the Go-Home Five to the brilliance of the Ashcroft era.

🦁 How did a club once battling to keep its kids become the AFL’s model for list strategy and loyalty? It started with belief, a few bold trades, and a bloke named Fagan.

🦁 From Ryan Lester’s arrival in 2010 to Levi Ashcroft’s arrival in 2024, this is the story of how the Lions turned patience into power, rookies into champions, and resilience into back-to-back glory.

🦁 Featuring insights on Neale’s game-changing trade, Dunkley’s midfield muscle, the academy pipeline, and the bargain buys that became premiership heroes 🦁

🦁 G’day Lions fans — Ash is back with a double dose of chaos, milestones, and Maroon carnage!

🦁 Ally Anderson hits 100 games and decides she’s not about to let Richmond break their drought, dragging Brisbane from a snoozy start to a surge that had Brighton Homes shaking.

🦁 Then, as if that wasn’t enough, the Lions stroll down the highway and absolutely detonate the Suns in Uncle Starce’s 100th.

🦁 Courtney Hodder goes supernova, Belle Dawes racks up numbers like she’s farming XP, and Ally Anderson just keeps being Ally Anderson — elite, relentless, and ridiculously good.

🦁 It’s milestones, madness, and more laughs than the MRO trying to justify itself.

🦁 Two wins, one podcast host running on caffeine and vibes, and the Lions back to full roar.

🎙️ Ash is back and he’s cracking open The Middle Six Review – the land of could’ve-beens, should’ve-beens, and “what the hell happened?” teams.

🏉 From Port’s Groundhog Day blues to St Kilda’s identity crisis, Sydney’s nosedive, the Dogs’ half-baked bite, Freo’s eternal rebuild, and the Giants’ “so close yet so far” saga – no one escapes the spray.

💥 Predictions vs reality. List gaps. Draft capital. And the perfect track to soundtrack each club’s season of frustration.

🔥 It’s savage. It’s sarcastic. It’s funnier than it should be. If you thought finals were chaos, wait ‘til you hear Ash tear into the mid-tier meltdown of 2025.
