Fagan farewell? How 'immortal' coach transformed Lions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Even Jonathan Brown, a magnetic figure of Brisbane's first premiership three-peat in the early 2000s, is in awe of Chris Fagan. A warrior for the Lions, Brown experienced glory as a teenager in 2001. But after losing the 2004 grand final - his fourth premiership decider in his first five years in the AFL - Brown played in just two more finals in the last 10 seasons of his glittering career. The hulking forward is proud and astonished with how Fagan, famously appointed as a 55-year-old without ev
Lions hero on his grand final-saving defensive efforts (opens the original)

Confessing to some mistakes early in the AFL grand final, Ryan Lester was responsible for arguably the most desperate defensive act in Brisbane Lions history. With Fremantle nine points ahead, Josh Treacy was charging into an open goal to give the Dockers a three-goal buffer with less than seven minutes remaining.

Read excerpt
Brisbane coach Chris Fagan has hailed departing superstar Lachie Neale for shaping the Lions into a team capable of reaching AFL premiership heights. Neale's 186th - and almost certainly final - game for the club was the Lions' extraordinary third straight premiership. The dual Brownlow Medal winner helped sink his former club Fremantle, whose fans booed him during the parade and in Saturday's grand final. After Neale left the Dockers at the end of 2018, Brisbane played in eight straight finals
Lions stars reveals staggering injuries after flag (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Young Brisbane hero Logan Morris managed to kick the final two goals of the Lions' epic grand final win after dealing with a back stress fracture for a large part of the season. Morris' final minutes against Fremantle will go down in folklore - calmly slotting a set shot to put Brisbane ahead, before snapping the sealer with only seconds left. And he wasn't the only Lions star to battle injury in their incredible three-straight premiership. Veteran defender Dayne Zorko, 16 years Morris' senior,
