We all knew Carlton had one good half of footy in them - I just don’t think any of us expected it to be the second half! After a scratchy finish at the Gabba, we’re just glad to have banked the four points, recovering from a bumpy 0-2 start to the year to make it to 6 and 3 as the fixture starts to get a little trickier.The table-topping Dockers, the always-tricky Giants and Damien Hardwick’s annoying Suns all lie ahead in the next month of footy, but before we get there, it’s time for the Grand Final Rematch.Brisbane and Geelong are the two greatest sides of the decade so far, with so many classics amongst our last few years of matchups. And the week ahead gives us the chance all over again to enjoy memories like Cam’s prelim goal on the left, the third quarter goal that sealed Lachie’s miraculous resurrection, and the final siren at the MCG last year that sealed our place as one of footy’s great sides.Also this week:-Maybe our favourite Joe Daniher story yet-Should Ty come back in up forward or down back?-Our thoughts on who Brisbane’s biggest competitor for the flag is this yearAnd much more!As we enter the Grand Final rematch week, the Roar Deal is brought to you as always by the brilliant team at Kartable - Kartable Cartage now means you don't have to leave site to collect your parts.

For the first time in a very long time, the Lions went into a match against a struggling opponent that they should have beaten comfortably without any struggles, and actually ended up doing just that.It was a stress-free day of enjoyable footy in our third go at footy’s new primetime slot of 12:30pm for the year - well, at least, it was stress-free, until a rogue Auskick dad’s photo blew up to become the greatest scandal the game has ever seen.It’s Monday May the 4th as we sit down to record, and more 48 hours on from the Bombers game, we’re still talking about a whiteboard.Thankfully, our first Friday night game for the year is fast approaching, meaning something more interesting to talk about is on the horizon.Also this week:-The new Victory Lap merch range is now on sale-Zac Bailey’s update on his playing future -Could this be Michael Voss’s last week as coach?And much more!The Roar Deal is brought to you by the team at Kartable - Kartable Cartage now means you don't have to leave site to collect your parts.

Two years ago, it was the ANZAC Round that had us just about giving up hope of ever seeing this Lions group holding up a flag.This year, ANZAC Round was an emphatic reminder of why these Lions have gone on to win the last two of them.On Sunday, the clouds parted and the blue sky returned in Brisbane.The same thing happened for the Lions, with last week’s loss against the Demons now a distant memory after a dominant win over the Crows.Also this week:-Dom’s emotionally preparing himself for Zac to leave-Should Canberra have an AFL side?-Big news about the Victory Lap marathonAnd much more!The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable - Kartable Cartage now means you don't have to leave site to collect your parts.

Just when you’re starting to enjoy footy again for the year, it goes and breaks your heart.It’s only mid-April, but we’re already up against it after suffering our third loss for the year against the Demons in a Sunday afternoon nailbiter.With some questionable form, some even more questionable umpiring calls, and a new set of injuries to worry about, it was a gloomy afternoon at the MCG. It’s probably fair to say this is our first gloomy episode of the podcast for the year too, as we try to turn things around ahead of Sunday’s long-awaited Gabba return against the Crows.This week on the podcast:-Our concerns about the tackle stats-Who replaces Noah Answerth?-Dom’s Twitter chat with David KingAnd much more!
For the first time in 2026, we’re on the right side of the ledger.A hard-fought win over North Melbourne in the Barossa sees us now sitting 3 and 2, with the regional South Australian grounds off the cards until at least 2028 as well. Today on the Roar Deal, we’ll recap our fourth-straight Gather Round win and turn our attention to our first trip to the MCG since last year’s Grand Final.Also this week:-Reports from Alice Springs & Hobart-How do we replace Dayne Zorko?-A new nickname for Sam DraperAnd much more!The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable.

Now this is a much nicer way to start the Easter long weekend!After two years of Easter Thursday deflation, the Lions have made a statement against Collingwood to even the ledger to 2-2 as we enter April.There are so many storylines in the wash-up: Sam Draper’s domination, Oscar Allen finding form, Kiddy Coleman back to his best already, Will Ashcroft the new midfield leader - it’s hard to know quite where to begin with a win that good.And just like Mike Whiting will be doing with his beloved hot cross buns in the coming days, we’ve got an extra long weekend to savour it.This week on the podcast:-Kylie Minogue’s link to the Lions (and why it’s a promising sign for the three-peat)-A possible new identity for Chris Fagan in the rap world-Who would win in a game between the 2024 & 2025 Premiership sides?And much more!The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable.

For the first time since September 27, we’re back on the winners list.The timeslot was odd and the rivalry was unconventional, so it probably shouldn’t be any great shock that the game itself was very weird too. At any rate, the 2026 campaign is now off and running, with a last quarter crusade showing the best of Brisbane and ensuring we can avoid the pain of a zero-three start.We have very little time to reflect, though, with the Collingwood clash rapidly approaching.The last two Easter Thursdays have been horrendous starts to the long weekend for all Lions fans, and with even more disruption in defence, it’s going to take a special effort to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself this week too.This week on the podcast:-How do we solve the latest round of problems in defence? -A deep dive into our form at the Gabba-What will happen to the AFL if Australia runs out of fuel?And much more!Sponsored by Kartable.
