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 Fremantl…

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…

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 to…

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! Consider donating to the sh…

In a week where academies and Father-Son rules have been a hot-button topic.

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…

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 tha…

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 R…

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. Get yourself some Bri…

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 b…

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!

JB and Patrick try and keep things in perspective for another weekly review but with a bad …

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.

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…

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 th…
