š¦ The 2026 season began under the brightest lights ā a packed Gabba, a premiership flag rising into the Brisbane night, and a crowd expecting another chapter of Lions dominance.

š¦ In this episode of Lions Lowdown, Ash breaks down an Opening Round that had just about everything: early momentum swings, moments where the Lions looked every bit the reigning powerhouse⦠and a final stretch that left plenty of supporters staring at the scoreboard wondering how it slipped away.

š¦ And then thereās the moment everyone is talking about. A collision. A decision. And the fallout that could shape the next few weeks of the season.
š¦ Add in injuries, suspensions, selection puzzles, and some unexpected bright spots from new faces and returning players, and suddenly Opening Round becomes a lot more complicated than anyone expected.
š¦ Itās not all doom and gloom ā but itās definitely not straightforward either.
š¦ If you want the deep dive, the honest Lions-fan perspective, and a few questions the mainstream coverage might be skimming past⦠this oneās worth a listen.
