....To win the Grand Final you need to be the toughest team, both mentally and physically, in the competion. And Brisbane is clearly that. In fact, in their three-year run they have lost only one final, to Collingwood this year.
The Lions continue to push the envelope when it comes to their preparation - intravenous drips, hypoxicators, extensive pain-killing injections, cool rooms, hyperbaric chambers, even low-altitude planes.
Some of these have subsequently been ruled illegal by the AFL but the quest to be No. 1 is clearly shared right throughout the Brisbane organisation and can only be applauded.
That they are out of town probably allows them to conduct these experiments behind closed doors. That they keep winning justifies them. Collingwood couldn't even have three days off on an island without newspaper reporters and photographers crashing the camp. ....
Showing some restraint.
