Amazing what changes there are in AFL coverage in QLD after winning a premiership!
We were running late by a few mins for the 1st training session this arvo - got stuck at the lights around the corner from the ground and on the radio on the 4pm news on B105 (equivalent of Fox FM for the Vics) they announced that Lions first training session was just starting at the Coorparoo ground. We then pull into the carpark and there are cars from ch10, 9 and 7, and the live broadcast van from ch10 as well. And 4 or 5 photographers, and a couple of print journos too.
Until a few months ago - training during the season couldn't even get that sort of media turnout - let alone a pre-season training session!!!
