About this episode
? Gday Lions fans and boy do we have a huge episode for you!? We take a quick walk through preliminary final week, revisit a couple of key talking points from our massive semi final win and Ash is diving deep into a hot debate in Lions land: is this current finals run actually hotter than the glory days of the three-peat? By listener request, we’re rewinding to the mid-90s Bears and early Lions years – a run of five finals in six seasons that quietly laid the foundation for one of the greatest dynasties in AFL history.? From Robert Walls’ recruitment smarts, to Northey’s near-miss, through to the merger drama and finally Leigh Matthews putting the finishing touches on a juggernaut – Ash breaks down who really built the beast. ? Plus, a look at the makeup of the 2001–2003 premiership teams and how much of that success was Bears, Lions, Fitzroy or “Lethal Leigh.”? And because it’s trade season in a few weeks time, Ash also runs through every out-of-contract Lion, who stays, who goes, and who might just make room for some big names coming in.? It’s history, hot takes, and a little bit of fan-nuffy passion rolled into one.Don’t forget to follow us on your podcast app and give us a five star review so we stay at the top of your feed.FB: Brisbane Lions LowdownFB: 5 Minute Warning IG: brisbanelionslowdownE: brisbanelionspodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
