Heading into the 2004 season, the Brisbane Lions were on a quest to become just the second club in VFL/AFL history to win four premierships in a row.

In this episode, Jason Akermanis shares his disappointment with the AFL, revealing he still believes the league didn't want the Lions to win four flags in a row, which is why they were made to play their "home" preliminary final against Geelong at the MCG.

While they ultimately got over the line against the Cats, the Lions ran out of steam the following week against Port Adelaide and lost the grand final.
