Make no mistake, they are the worst team in the competition at the moment.
They have issues off the field and on the field. Administration is a joke, their leader is out injured, probably never to return, support is down, crowds are down, profits are unheard of.

Brisbane is just as an important market as Sydney in the grand scheme of things and everyone loves the Fitzroy Lions - the competition is better off to have that link to them, it needs it I believe.

If Sydney deserves a "COLA" then Brisbane surely deserve some extra help as well. Yes a lot of their predicament is their own doing (see poor admin) but in the interests of a strong competition it isn't good for any team to be like Brisbane is right now
well the Brisbane side finally made it and won the flag.

Yeah they finished 5 years in a row in the bottom 4 from 2014 until 2018. But Brisbane finally got that 2024 flag.

Never should have sacked voss

He had them playing decent footy, and they were on the up

What is needed, a complete overhaul of their administration, including the entire coaching department
I'd go as far as offering up the team for sale to the qld government

So at least 2/3 of those things happened and worked successfully

Greg Swann came in a few weeks after the post - Still at the club and the results of his leadership speak for themselves

Coaching department overhauled by 2016 with Fagan coming in (Plus David Noble as Footy GM*) - Eventually stopped the flow of players leaving the club

The QLD government changed in 2016 and ultimately wound up pitching in to build the training base at Springfield, finally giving the Lions a key piece of infrastructure they never had

I had to bump this.

At the end of 2018, Brisbane was 18 million dollars in debt.

At the end of 2025, they will have 10 million in the bank

Despite this we still need help Mr Maniac.

Just no.
 
Brisbane market not as important as the disinterested, half hearted Sydney market that the competition must bow to
Sad but true. There is 6 million Queenslanders.

I follow the A-league soccer league. Still frustrating that there's 14 teams but only one Queensland team.

Hell even the NBL or Aussie basketball has put sides in the NBL over the years in Brisbane, Gold coast, Townsville and even Cairns.

With what?

Our academy and father sons are only producing top 5 mids, we aren’t getting any top end talls out of it, which is what we need. So need some concessions to make this happen.

You were right about the complete overhaul of the administration

Top 5 academy player in this years drafts.

The rules changed after Melbourne won their premiership and couldn’t take their academy player Mac Andrew in the top 20.

Do Brisbane need draft help and get this top 5 prospect from this years drafts?
