Brisbane Lions don’t know when they can train at Gabba
The fractured cheekbone suffered by draftee Rhys Mathieson in the final NAB Challenge game hasn’t just stalled the start of his AFL career, it also delayed the signing of a contract extension.
Brisbane have been impressed with the tough-as-nails midfielder, who was taken with pick 39 in last year’s draft, and were keen to lock him away beyond his standard two-year draftee contract.
Mathieson, who has quickly become a popular member of the club and has moved in with utility Sam Mayes, had also indicated his desire to strike a new deal.
