Make no mistake, they are the worst team in the competition at the moment.
They have issues off the field and on the field. Administration is a joke, their leader is out injured, probably never to return, support is down, crowds are down, profits are unheard of.

Brisbane is just as an important market as Sydney in the grand scheme of things and everyone loves the Fitzroy Lions - the competition is better off to have that link to them, it needs it I believe.

If Sydney deserves a "COLA" then Brisbane surely deserve some extra help as well. Yes a lot of their predicament is their own doing (see poor admin) but in the interests of a strong competition it isn't good for any team to be like Brisbane is right now

well the Brisbane side finally made it and won the flag.

Yeah they finished 5 years in a row in the bottom 4 from 2014 until 2018. But Brisbane finally got that 2024 flag.

Never should have sacked voss

He had them playing decent footy, and they were on the up

What is needed, a complete overhaul of their administration, including the entire coaching department
I'd go as far as offering up the team for sale to the qld government

So at least 2/3 of those things happened and worked successfully

Greg Swann came in a few weeks after the post - Still at the club and the results of his leadership speak for themselves

Coaching department overhauled by 2016 with Fagan coming in (Plus David Noble as list manager) - Eventually stopped the flow of players leaving the club

The QLD government changed in 2016 and ultimately wound up pitching in to build the training base at Springfield, finally giving the Lions a key piece of infrastructure they never had
