🦁 FOUR GRAND FINALS. THREE FLAGS. ONE REMARKABLE ERA.

Across 2023–26, Brisbane played 107 games — eight more than any other AFL club.

They never finished a minor round on top of the ladder and entered three of their four Grand Finals as underdogs.

Their finals record? 12 wins from 15 games, with four victories decided by 10 points or fewer. In both 2025 and 2026, they recovered from qualifying-final defeats to win the premiership.

Behind those numbers is a lesson for sport and life: setbacks don’t have to define what happens next.

Keep connecting. Keep believing. Keep turning up for each other.

Sustained success takes talent. It also takes resilience, trust and the willingness to keep working when the outcome is uncertain.

Thank you to my close friend and former Australian Wheelchair Rugby Captain, Ryan Scott, for sharing this inspiring video with me.

A crash survivor, Ryan has inspired thousands of young Australians to make smarter, safer decisions on our roads. His work reflects the care, resilience and respect we champion through Learning Life Through Sport.

HANDLING ADVERSITY
Life mirrors sport — sport mirrors life.

Guillermo del Toro’s simple question, “AND?”, offers a powerful way to respond when life challenges us.

Acknowledge the hurt. Share it. Sit in the discomfort. Then ask yourself: AND… what’s my next step?

A loss, a setback or a disappointment can hurt deeply. Give yourself time to process it, then focus on what you can do next.

We can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose our response. Don’t let the challenge define you. Let what you learn from it help you grow.

LETHAL & FAGES
TWO COACHES. TWO THREE-PEATS. ONE REMARKABLE LEGACY. 🦁🏆

The strikingly similar Brisbane coaching records of Leigh Matthews and Chris Fagan tell an extraordinary story.

Matthews delivered three consecutive premierships in 2001–2003. Fagan has matched that achievement in 2024–2026.

Their six flags, alongside Fitzroy’s eight, bring the combined Fitzroy–Brisbane Lions heritage to 14 VFL/AFL premierships—a total surpassed only by Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon, with 16 each.

At the time of the 1996 merger, Fitzroy hadn’t won a premiership for 52 years, while the Brisbane Bears had never won a senior AFL flag.

Two remarkable coaches have since guided the Lions to two golden eras.

Different personalities. Remarkably similar records. An enduring legacy.
