Brisbane Lions Best Players of All Time

Based in Brisbane, Queensland, the Lions were formed in late 1996 through a merger between the Melbourne-based Fitzroy Lions, an 1883 foundation VFL club, and the Brisbane Bears, a 1987 Queensland expansion team.

Since then, they have become one of the most successful teams in the AFL, having won three premierships and making the finals nine times. The team’s colours of maroon, blue, and gold are a combination of the colours of the two parent clubs. With a passionate fan base and a proud history, the Brisbane Lions are one of the most popular teams in the AFL.
