The 'Weren't they supposed to be premiers?' award​

That's certainly how Brisbane looked ...well, at least with seven minutes remaining of the first half of the Lions' "Opening Round" clash with Carlton, when they led by a whopping 46 points. Two things then happened. First, the Blues kicked a couple of late goals to go into half-time with a sniff. Then, literally on the siren, critical running half-back Keidean Coleman did his knee, not to return for the season. And since then for Brisbane, it's been pretty much all downhill. Coleman is just one of four Lions done for the year with ACLs (Lincoln McCarthy, Darcy Gardiner and recruit Tom Doedee the others). The Lions have lost to the likes of Fremantle and Hawthorn and only drawn against Adelaide. Their conversion is among the worst in the AFL. And they've gone from the second-heaviest scoring team in the competition to a mediocre 10th. Two-and-a-half games outside the top eight, Brisbane has a massive task in the second half of the season simply to play finals, let alone be challenging for flags.
