The Brisbane Lions have carried their strong form from 2024 into the 2025 season with wins in the first five rounds.

The Lions face the Collingwood Magpies at the Gabba on Thursday night, aiming to keep their winning streak alive. 

Brisbane Lions and AFL legend Leigh Matthews told Jason Matthews on Wide World of Sports, "I think you'd be confident that when they're on and playing at their best. I think that's the top level in the game at the moment."

"They've had an unusual situation where [in] four of the five games, they've been sort of well behind at half time and then really came home hard in the second half."

"So that's been a bit of a vulnerability.  But certainly they've been coming home strong here," Mr Matthews continued.
