Welcome to Return of the Pride. Josh Gabelich and Michael Whiting from AFL.com.au, have explored how Brisbane hit rock bottom on-field and off-field, how they recovered from the disaster that was the go-home five to climb off the canvas and go back-to-back under the oldest coach in VFL/AFL history. Across six episodes, we will unpack the major appointments in this rebuild and how those key people arrived in Brisbane. We will dissect the crucial list decisions and hear from the people behind those calls, before revealing how many of the key trades actually transpired. Over the course pre-season, we have spoken to more than 50 people inside the Brisbane Lions and across the AFL industry, from Greg Swann to Chris Fagan, from Luke Hodge to Dom Ambrogio, from Paul Connors to Alastair Clarkson, from Jonathan Brown to Eddie McGuire and many of the 2024 and 2025 premiership teams to find out how another dynasty was built in Brisbane.
