Brisbane Lions odds
These are interesting times for the Brisbane Lions.
Chris Fagan’s men finished fourth from bottom in 2018, but a closer look at their record shows significant improvement across the board.
Can the Lions move up again in 2019 and set the stage for a finals charge in the not-too-distant future?

Best Brisbane Lions bets for the 2018 AFL season
Where are the best Brisbane bets in the AFL futures markets for 2018?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Stop it. Don’t even look in this section. We can’t believe you clicked this tab open. The Lions are $151 to win the premiership at Sportsbet and in our opinion, those odds are no where near high enough. If you can find somewhere in the vicinity of $5,000 for the Lions to pinch a flag, have a go, but in the interim, perhaps hold on to your money when it comes to premiership betting.
- Weirder things have happened in the AFL. Not many weirder than the Lions making finals in 2018, but some definitely have. The Lions will need a fairytale season in which the talented kids take huge leaps, the veterans re-find their very best football and the same side that couldn’t win more than five games last year somehow manage to win more than 12. To say it’s all very unlikely is an understatement. The club will look to improve, but 2018 is not the season in which it will aim for finals.
- Brisbane captain Dayne Beams has shown a tendency to catch the attention of umpires when it comes to polling votes when he plays well. Unfortunately for Beams, his good games have often been overshadowed in thumping Brisbane losses and he’s missed large chunks of the last three seasons with injury.If Beams re-captures his best form, the Lions remain competitive and win more than eight games there could be some value in the $21 Sportsbet has on the skipper.
- Here is an award that the Lions will seriously fancy their chances in. Lions midfielder Alex Witherden got a taste of the big time last year and impressed all. Witherden is the $6 favourite to win the award and for good reason. He will start in the Lions Round 1 side, play every week and stand out in a midfield that will ask a lot of him. Witherden ticks a lot of the usual Rising Star boxes and there’s a reason why he’s at the top of the tree here.
- Brisbane don’t have a realistic option in Coleman Medal betting. Young forward Eric Hipwood sits at $51, but given he’s still playing further up the ground in a team that doesn’t provide adequate supply, he’s absolutely no chance. Don’t bother with Hipwood this year, but keep an eye on the kid, because one day he could be the best forward in the comp.
