Didnโt plan on watching this when Melbourne were 42 points down, but this sport is so momentum prone. Itโs now a two-score game in the fourth. #afl
โ๏ธ Can anyone stop the Brisbane Lions in 2026?
The Brisbane Lions will be looking at going back ๐ ๐ ๐ in season 2026.
Despite losing three quality players- Brandon Starcevich (West Coast), Callum Ah Chee (Adelaide) & Oscar McInerney in the off-season, the Lions depth is scary.
โฌ๏ธ is a list of players on their list that didnโt play in the 2025 ๐. A few are ๐ in their โBest 23โ when fit, with others in the mix and a chance at playing this season.
Oscar Allen ๐
Daniel Annable โ
Noah Answerth ๐
Keidean Coleman ๐
Tom Doedee
Sam Draper ๐
Eric Hipwoodโ
Lincoln McCarthyโ
Conor McKenna
Jack Payne ๐
6 of their current โBest 23โ are 22 and under & already quality AFL players, some ๐
Will Ashcroft
Levi Ashcroft
Jaspa Fletcher
Darcy Wilmot
Logan Morris
Kai Lohmann
Sam Marshall and Ty Gallop who played in the 2025 ๐ are only 20 and will likely play a lot of AFL in 2026. Both already look like quality AFL players.
Harris Andrews, Josh Dunkley, Jarrod Berry, Hugh McClugagge, Zac Bailey & Cam Rayner are all under 30.
Their key players over 30- Dayne Zorko, Ryan Lester, Lachie Neale, Darcy Fort, Charlie Cameron & Darcy Gardiner all played at an elite level at times in 2025 and will play key roles in 2026.
Can anyone stop the Brisbane Lions from going back to back to back in 2026?
Good luck to the rest of the competition this season!!
