Another Tuesday, another bombshell!

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.

The emergency podcast we've waited all year for is here!

Our Lions certainly don’t like doing things the easy way!

We also apparently don’t like travelling to New South Wales, with Saturday’s Qualifying Final loss at the SCG making it three losses in the Harbour City this year, coming in at an average losing margin of 58 points.

The good news is that we don’t have to go back to Sydney this year.

The bad news is that it’s sudden death from this point onwards.

The even worse news is that we might get knocked out by the worst club in the comp - the stain on the AFL that is the Adelaide Crows.

Here we go again.

After a long, barren nine-year finals drought from 2010 to 2018, we now remarkably enter our eighth consecutive finals series.

And as September begins, the most extraordinary possibility sits ahead of us.

Our Lions stand on the precipice of one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of Australian sport: Two hat trick dynasties two decades apart.

As we enter the month where legends are made and history is written, we've got a massive episode of the podcast.

On the 30th of May, the Lions lost their sixth game for the season against Fremantle at the Gabba, sinking to a 6 and 6 record with wildcard finals looking our best hope.

It led to all of us just about ruling out a top four finish, realising that we could probably only afford to lose one more game for the entire season for that to be possible.

Who would’ve known that that would be exactly what we’d do.

10 wins and 1 loss later, and the Lions have finished the home & away season in the top four for the sixth time in Chris Fagan’s era.

And now, as a hint of spring returns to the air, we know the bit that comes next very well.  

September is nearly here, and finals anxiety is about to go off the charts once again.

Three more wins from here, and the Brisbane Lions, once more, will have gone back to back to back.

This week on the podcast:

-The Lions have 6 players in the All Australian Squad

-Who’s more likely to get a Grand Final fairytale - Kiddy or Linc?

-Our thoughts on the wildcard matchups

198 home & away games, 15 Lions wins, two or three emotional crashes on the Roar Deal, and after all of it, we find ourselves in a familiar situation:

It’s all coming down to the final round.

After another late season QClash fizzer, we return to the MCG as we near the end of August.  

Hopefully we’ll be doing the same at the end of September, with this Friday night’s game against Collingwood set to play an enormous role in determining what our finals run might look like.

Remarkably, with one game to go, both a 3rd place finish and a qualifying final at the SCG and a 7th place knockout final at the Gabba are still on the table.

Welcome to the Roar Deal, with the ladder predictor due to get a big workout in the week ahead with so many possibilities still on the table.

The whiplash is back!

Worryingly bad to unbelievably good is a pattern we’ve seen from the Lions a few times in recent years, and Friday night’s domination of the Hawks has given us another dose.

A loss would’ve spelt the end of our Top 4 hopes, and a strong Hawthorn win might’ve felt close to the end of our premiership aspirations.  

It didn’t take long, though, for our nerves to turn to sheer delight, as the Lions put on an absolute masterclass to remind the rest of the competition just what we’re capable of.  

In what was probably our best game of the season, the Lions ended up with an unexpected percentage booster against the third-place Hawks.

The pressure was awesome, the skill level was amazing, and our premiership hopes are well & truly alive.

The late season shocker strikes again.

In both of the last two seasons, just as we seemed on track for a strong finals tilt, the Lions dished up a couple of late July and early August defeats that had us all worried.

In 2024 it was losses to the Giants and Collingwood that took away our top 4 hopes. Last year, it was a Swans resurgence and a Suns smashing that dented our confidence.

This year, we were hoping the late season curveballs might be behind us, only to find ourselves on the receiving end of maybe the worst one yet.

Chris Fagan has been warning about the sledgehammer for a few weeks now, and here it is.

An almost incomprehensible 76-point loss to Carlton has torched our percentage, derailed our winning streak, temporarily seen us fall out of the top 4, and raised significant questions about what lies ahead from here.

This week on the show:

-Is Dom ready to make 2026's wild bet yet?

-We talk through the selection dilemma in front of the Lions now

-Our favourite Jarrod Berry memories

June began with the Lions sitting precariously in 9th spot following three consecutive losses.

Fast forward a couple of months, and July ends with us entrenched in the top 4 by both a win and percentage, with our seventh win in a row coming on a perfect Brisbane winter’s day at the Gabba.

Port Adelaide have been lauded for their defensive profile all year, and it was there in full force once again on Sunday. That is, at least, for the first three quarters, before a Lions masterclass blew things open.   

It’s capped off an incredible streak of the Lions at their best, with these last 7 wins coming at an average winning margin of 7 goals.

And now, with August arriving, we’re hoping the next two months might be just as good as the last two.
