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 🦁
