Brisbane Lions odds
These are interesting times for the Brisbane Lions.
After finishing fourth from bottom in 2018, Chris Fagan’s men have bolted into flag contention in recent years but have struggled to find their best form in the finals.
The Lions are among the premiership favourites this season, but can they build on their recent progress and go a step or two further this year?

Best Brisbane Lions bets for the 2022 AFL season
Where are the best picks for Brisbane in this year’s major AFL betting markets?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these options:
- A few years ago, we would have questioned the sanity of anyone who bothered to read this section. Now, it is a very different story. Brisbane’s list is loaded with upside, so there is no reason they shouldn’t be there or thereabouts again in 2022.
- Given they scraped into the top four by the barest of margins in Round 23, the Brisbane Lions would be hopeful of a fourth successive year finishing inside the Top Four.
- Lachie Neale has always been a strong vote getter in the Brownlow and despite an injury-riddled 2021 will be looking to re-establish himself as one of the competition’s leading midfielders. Jarryd Lyons finished in a share of ninth with Christian Petracca when polling 23 votes and will be looking to continue his fine patch of form.
- Brisbane’s standout candidate in this year’s Rising Star betting is Darcy Wilmot, who was taken with pick no.16 in the 2021 national draft.
- Joe Daniher had arguably his career-best season last year in terms of fitness and on-field performance, with the forward bagging 46 goals for the year and being the only man to kick a goal in every game throughout the season. Alongside Charlie Cameron, Daniher is deemed the Lions’ best chance of clinching the Lion’s second ever Coleman Medal following the feats of Jonathon Brown in 2007.

Brisbane Lions players to watch in 2022
Joe Daniher
Born: 4/3/1994
Games: 132
Goals: 237
Position: Forward
Joe Daniher was a forced to be reckoned with in 2022 and alongside Charlie Cameron formed one of the most lethal forwad-line combinations in the competition. It was the first time in his career that Daniher played every game available and with another full pre-season under his belt he looks set to take his game to an even higher level
Lachie Neale
Born: 22/7/1992
Games: 195
Goals: 101
Position: Midfielder
The 2020 Brownlow Medalist had his 2021 season riddled with injuries and lack of fluidity, meaning he will be raring to go this year. Having compiled 46 possessions in the Qualifying Final loss to Melbourne, the superstar midfielder showed his class and can be back to his best in season 2022.
Hugh McCluggage
Born: 3/3/1998
Games: 106
Goals: 64
Position: Midfielder
Free-flowing wingman Hugh McCluggage has been one of the best performers for the Brisbane Lions over the past few years and is approaching his best years in his footballing life. The now 24-year-old is expected to spend more time in the centre of the ground throughout this season and considering his elite ball handling skills, he gives an already star-studd Lions centre bounce outfit another bow to their string.
