The 2025 Home and Away season is officially done! Top 4 is locked in and another final against  Geelong is just over a week away!  Poor kicking in front of goal was back in a big way on Sunday Night against Hawhorn but Brisbane put in another quality performance to knock off The Hawks JB and Patrick chat about the Round 24 victory and the final series that awaits.  All that plus: - The top 3 momen...

The good news: You have a Saturday night podcast!!! That bad news: JB forgot to press record on the video - so it's audio only this week!  Also theres no coverage of the VFL or AFLW in this weeks chat due to an early record But the even better news is that Brisbane are officially playing finals in 2025 with a 10 goal win on the road against Fremantle!  It came at the expense of Jarrod Berry's shou...

A game we almost pinched in the dying seconds certainly had some equally impressive and frustrating moments against Sydney last Saturday.  JB and Patrick are back for another to unpack another disappointing loss at The Gabba in 2025. A ground which was once an impenetrable fortress is now seemingly a weak spot for The Brisbane Lions. As the injuries mount up with only 2 regular H&A games left,...

Well that was pretty good! After getting their pants pulled down last week in the Q-Clash Brisbane answered back in emphatic fashion against the ladder leaders, Collingwood at The MCG. JB and Patrick can't get enough of this win!  Henry Smith came in for his frist game in 2025, Logan Morris dominated with 6 goals and the midfield group absolutely tore it up in the contest.  JB and Patrick take a l...

You'll certainly be able to tell through this episode that JB and Pat don't really want to talk about this game any more than they have to. Brisbane absolutely phoned this one in and got smacked accordingly! With top 4 and even top 8 in the balance, A response against Collingwood down at The MCG is needed more than ever!

In a week where academies and Father-Son rules have been a hot-button topic. The Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs faced of on Friday night, each boasting 3 favourite sons in their respective teams. Again, The Brisbane Lions were wasteful in front of goal but their pressure and intent was right up and were comfortably the better side on the night.  JB and Patrick look back on a glorious win at T...

Ahead of a very tough end to the season, JB and Patrick take a look at the latest win at Marvel Stadium against Carlton. The pressure, especially Inside-50 was a highlight from a great team performance that leaves Brisbane half-a-game clear in 2nd spot on the ladder. With The Bulldogs, Suns And Pies in the next 3 weeks, Brissy will need to keep that intensity up if they want to hold on to a top-4...

The Brisbane Lions returned after the bye with a decent outing against Port Adelaide. A 5 goal win built of the back of a blistering 10 minute period at the end of the first quarter and arguable Zac Bailey's career-best game. Still there are a few things to work on as we come up against Carlton in a couple of days time.  JB and Patrick look at the Round 17 win and hand out their votes to the playe...

Well we are halfway* through the 2025 AFL Season and The Brisbane Lions sit 2nd on the latter with a fairly decen t win-loss record. What will the back half of the year produce as we rocket towards September? JB and Patrick take a moment to look back at the first 15 rounds of Footy and look ahead to the second half and beyond.

In a game that JB gave Brisbane absolutely zero chance of winning, Brisbane came out with their strongest performance of 2025 to give it to The Cats and end a 22 year drought at GMHBA Stadium. The small forwards were back in form, the defensive intent and tackling pressure was also back to its best and so was the goal kicking.  A comprehensive win built on slick ball movement and amazing defensive...

As The Brisbane Lions limp towards the bye with a game against a red-hot Geelong on the way. It's safe to say that the form is definitely a worry! Bad Goalkicking and poor defensive intent meant that The Lions lost another game that was there for the taking!  JB and Patrick try and keep things in perspective for another weekly review but with a bad injury to Jack Payne, the back-to-back dream take...

Well... what can you say about THAT?! JB and Patrick will attempt to try and make sense of The Brisbane Lions latest game against Adelaide at The Adelaide Oval last Friday night. All-in-all The Lions did just about everything right to get a decent win on the road against a top 4 opponent EXCEPT the one thing that matters... kicking goals.  A frustrating end to an otherwise fairly impressive outing...

Here we are again.... An underwhelming performance against an opposition that we really SHOULD have put to the sword. Never-the-less, The Brisbane Lions walk away with the 4 points! JB and Patrick chat about the Round 12 Clash against Essendon and talk about a few players and their impact o nthe team as we approach the halfway mark of the season. NOTE: Patrick suffered a power outage during the po...

After a couple of pretty average weeks, The Brisbane Lions (and the midfield) were back to their absolute best against Hawthorn. JB and Patrick are back to chat about a big win against a team that has had the wood over us for a few years now! With a quick turnaround before Essendon on Thursday night at The Gabba and then a pretty tough task of Adelaide down in South Australia. Getting the players...

Well, here we are after another poor performance from The Brisbane Lions. We were lucky enough to walk away with a draw last week but Melbourne made us pay in the last quarter at The Gabba on Sunday evening. Still, we sit 2nd on the ladder with a 7-2-1 record with a really tough game against Hawthorn coming up at The MCG. JB and Patrick take a look at what happened against The Dee's and forecast s...

Mothers Day, Round 9 2024 Brisbane Lions had a draw against Adelaide. Mothers Day Round 9 2025, Brisbane Lions had a draw against North Melbourne!  What are the odds of that!? JB and Patrick are back for another week to discuss the latest match of footy against a bottom 4 team that the Brisbane Lions seemingly didn't take seriously. The midfield that bashed up St Kilda and The Gold Coast were taug...

JB and Patrick are back after what was billed as the biggest Q-Clash EVER! Both teams went into the game with only one loss under their respective belts but it was Brisbane who asserted their dominance in the midfield and walked away with a 17 point win which probably should have been larger. Ashcroft, Neale, Dunkley and McCluggage shined as did the key position defenders as Brisbane find themselv...

Back on the winners list with arguably their most comprehensive game of the year, The Brisbane Lions now find themselves 2nd on the AFL Ladder with a 6-1 record. JB and Patrick chat about the win against the Saints and preview a HUGE Q-Clash on the way this week. PLUS we have an exciting announcement about our very first run of MERCHANDISE. All that plsu - The weekly votes - An update on the VFL t...

JB and Patrick are back to chat about the first loss the Brisbane Lions have had in quite a while. But a loss you could see coming a mile away! Nick Daicos and Collingwood pur Brisbane to the sword on Easter Thursday and it's left us all feeling pretty flat. With a 9 day break coming at the right time, It gives us a moment to reset and start firing again against St Kilda on Saturday. Voting was ha...

JB and Patrick sit down again to discuss the current top of the ladder, Brisbane Lions! After their best start to a season since Fitzroy back in the 40's, The Lions mounted yet another comeback to run over the top of their opposition with this latest one perhaps the most impressive. More selection headaches await in the coming weeks and how do we get THAT sort of performance from Eric Hipwood each...

JB and Patrick are back for another week as The Brisbane Lions make their way to a 4-0 start to the season. Still yet to put together 4 quarters of their best football, The round 4 clash against Richmond could potentially be one of the worst games of the season so far but also, our biggest win! We take a look at the game, what needs to improve and ponder the future selection dilemmas that face Fag...

JB and Patrick are back for another week to chat all things Brisbane Lions who now find themselves in the exact opposite position to 2024 with a win-loss record of three and zero! A tough slog in the wet saw Brisbane fall behind their opponents AGAIN at the half before storming home to their best win of the season so far!  We hand out our votes in a game that was tough to hand out votes on, talk a...

JB and Patrick are back for another week to chat all things Lions! Brisbane got off to a shocking start against what many believe to be a bottom 4 team at the weekend, and to make matters worse, the weather was absolutely atrocious! A very suburnt JB talks about his game day experience as the '24 flag got unfurled and how Brisbane almost lost a game that was very much their to be won. All that plu...

Well, we are officially back! We have some genuine AFL Football to talk about! A gutsy win by Brisbane means we get the season off to a good start with a game against West Coast just around the corner. JB and Patrick look at our first game against Sydney, The good, bad and everything in between.  There are some injury concerns that we need to consider moving forward with Brandon Starcevich with an...
