Anthony Hudson & Ash McGrath both join us to look back on one of the most iconic moments in Brisbane Lions history.

After a disappointing loss to the Crows, we sit down (with Mike Zooming in from Darwin) to review the first half of season 2023.

In our mid-season report card, we cover off a heap of big questions, such as who's in line for All-Australian selection, what the most memorable moment of the year so far has been, and whether we are more or less confident in the Lions 2023 chances than we were at the start of the season.
