Chris Fagan says he's prepared to risk injuries at pre-season training in order to improve the Brisbane Lions' work around the contest.

The Lions took their Tasmanian pre-season training camp to another level on Tuesday morning, introducing a modified game simulation that the players hit with full force.

Unlucky half-back Claye Beams strained a medial ligament earlier in the session during a contested drill, but Fagan said it wouldn't hinder their approach.

The boys are hungry, injuries suck but shows it.

They meant business. New recruit Charlie Cameron bumped Archie Smith off the ball, and the big ruckman didn't take too kindly, chasing Cameron to give him a piece of his mind.

No.1 NAB AFL Draft pick Cam Rayner looked at home against the bigger bodies, while Luke Hodge did his usual organising in defence.

Archie chasing Charlie. Kind of like a mini chasing a Ferrari

Just cannot get enough footy out of season so I popped down to Tassie for the day on Sunday for some photography, caught the boys at training for a couple of hours before heading bush to do some landscape stuff. Thought there might be a few peeps on here who might enjoy a couple from my morning session.

Hodge really does love the sprinkler doesn't he.

Hipwood is starting to grow a decent mop.

The Hipster seems quite happy and involved with training......good to see the smiles.

There will be a boycott of the camp next year.
Too dangerous and far too many injuries.

Not available next year..... renovations

I feel sorry for Claye...My brother told me that Beams was injured at training. I started to shout a few expletives and jump up and down. Then he said "It's all good, it was Claye, not Dayne" We all breathed a sigh of relief. Poor Claye!

Interesting to see how it translates next year. If Fagan can drill some agro into Bell he could be a decent inside bull

The AFL site used ‘Beams injured at training’ as a click bait headline.

All Beamses matter.

Should have gone all the way -'Beams injured at training and fans are losing their minds!'

From little snippets ive seen it seems as though Rayner could have a fair stint as a midfielder alongside beams and zorko this year. Potentially a 60-65% TOG role like SPP did for port as an onballer.

Berry no doubt to continue as an inside mid and seem Robbo will play as a half forward. Exciting team and some great draft selections over the past few years.

Add Hodge, Robbo and Christensen. Another year into Witherden, McGluggage, Berry and Hipwood ans thinga look very exciting.

Hopefully Mcstay can really come on and i feel Gardiner could be set for a Grimes like year from the tigers
