fagan fundamentally changed the brisbane lions. truly changed it deep within its core and repaired the soul of the club in ways only lions fans can really understand. in many ways he gave people back their football club and passion for footy. thankful isn’t a strong enough word.
Scans have confirmed Eric Hipwood has a partial tear of his ACL in yet another blow to the Lions' premiership defence. In a curious series of events, the forward went for an unrelated scan as he tries to overcome a calf injury, and the partial tear was revealed. It's unclear how long Hipwood had been playing with the tear for. More to come on @1116sen + Crunchtime.
It's August today which means it's nearly footy awards season, and I've taken the liberty of picking this year's All-Australian team (and the team for every other year) so the selectors don't have to.
