Brisbane Lions Lowdown

Finals footy just went nuclear.  🏉 Hawthorn stormed into Adelaide, punted the minor premiers out of September, and left the Crows with nothing but tram tickets back to Glenelg. Gunston wound back the clock, Newcombe went full caffeine-fuelled maniac, and Sicily gave Taylor Walker the longest night of his career. 🏉 Up north, the Lions brushed aside the Suns in a QClash semi that turned ugly...

🚨 EMERGENCY POD 🚨 🦁 Well, well, well… the “most anticipated QClash ever” came with all the hype of a Marvel movie trailer — and ended like a dodgy meat pie at the Gabba. Tasted good for the first bite, then you realised you’d been conned. 🦁 Gold Coast came out swinging with two quick goals, but Brisbane just smiled, tied it up, and then flicked the finals switch.  🦁 From there the Lions...

🦁 Ash is back, and it’s time to talk Round 5 W footy the only way we know how — with way too much Lions bias and just enough nonsense to keep you laughing. 🦁 If you’re heading to the ground or parked on the couch with snacks, we’ve got all the  when, where, and how-to-watch  covered. We’ll run through the  ins and outs  (who’s back and who got dropped like a hot rock at a day...

🏉 Two semi finals. 🏉 Two massive storylines. 🏉 On Friday night, Adelaide face Hawthorn with history hanging over their heads — no minor premier has gone out in straight sets since 1983. The Crows could steady the ship or collapse into pub-trivia infamy, while the Hawks are rolling in with nothing to lose and plenty of chaos to cause. 🏉 Then Saturday night… the biggest QClash ever. Brisbane and...

*DISCLAIMER: This episode is narrated by a comedian, not a paid mainstream media expert, so don’t @ me guys* September footy doesn’t care about your ladder position, your losing streak, or your excuses. 🏉 Just ask Collingwood, who walked into Adelaide Oval and turned chaos into a prelim berth.  🏉 Geelong reminded everyone they’re not done yet. 🏉 Hawthorn survived an Orange Tsunami from GWS...

Seventeen points down at three-quarter time, the Crows circling, Adelaide Oval rocking — and then Brisbane flicked the switch. In six minutes of ruthless brilliance, the Lions stormed home with three unanswered goals to pinch a heart-stopping win. Ash takes you inside the madness: Taylor Smith’s ice-cool match-winner, Courtney Hodder’s genius footy brain, and a backline that turned into a brick wa...

G’day Lions fans — Ash is here with another brutally honest take on Brisbane’s finals campaign. Friday night at the ‘G was ugly. Geelong outworked, outran and outright embarrassed us, and walking out of that ground it felt like the empire was cracking.  To make matters worse, Lachie Neale’s season is done, Eric Hipwood is sidelined until mid-2026, and our premiership defence looks shakier tha...

Two elimination finals. Two wild storylines. Giants v Hawks — scars, stars and a rivalry tighter than your Monday commute. Dockers v Suns — 60,000 in Perth, Fyfe’s finals return, and Gold Coast’s first ever September dance. All the hype, form checks and X-factors — packed into five minutes flat. Don’t forget to follow us on your podcast app and give us a five star review so we stay at the top of y...

Plus, we break down the VFL boys’ finals heroics, celebrate All-Australian honours, and dive headfirst...

Ash is back with a double-dose of finals fever on 5 Minute Warning. First up, it’s Adelaide vs Collingwood at Adelaide Oval — a qualifying final with more spice than a Vindaloo. Can the Crows turn their minor premiership into September dominance, or will the Pies’ backs-to-the-wall mentality pinch it late? Then it’s Geelong vs Brisbane under the Friday night lights at the ‘G. The Cats bring flair...

Fresh studio, fresh gear, same old chaos — Ash is back with a monster episode of the Lions Lowdown.  From the tribunal farce to the absolute circus that is footy media, nothing’s off-limits. Then it’s time to dive deep into our Round 24 clash with the Hawks: wasted chances, Rayner’s rollercoaster, Lohmann’s spark, Harris Andrews’ defensive masterclass, Zorko’s 300th and Chuck’s 250th both cel...

In a demolition job out West, we smashed Fremantle with ruthless pressure, slick ball movement and record-breaking scoring power.

Ash is back with a fiery midweek emergency  Lowdown after two days of pure footy chaos.  We kick things off with the VFL boys pushing Casey to the brink in a soggy scrap at Brighton Homes, before diving head-first into the off-field drama – from an alleged brawl in the stands to an AFL investigation that went nowhere but still stirred the rumour mill. Ash unloads on the AFL media’s negat...

Two points.  That’s all that separated us from pinching it late against Sydney — but the damage was done long before our 3-goal blitz in the last minute. Ash dives into the selection calls that left us exposed on Heeney, why Beecken’s omission still stings, and how our Gabba pressure drop-off is costing us. There’s discussion about the Ashcrofts, Dunkley, Wilmot & Andrews, a reality check...

G’day Lions fans — this week on  The Lowdown , Ash unpacks the soggy mess that was the AFL Q-Clash and the morning delight that was the VFL edition.
