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 2019 AFL season
Where are the best Brisbane bets in the AFL futures markets for 2019?
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. 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.
- Top honours are out of the question, but there is no doubt the Lions are a team on the up. Their young players are coming on nicely and Lachie Neale’s inclusion more than offsets the departure Dayne Beams. They will need a lot of things to go their way, however, so maybe give it another year before you start backing Brisbane to make a dent in September.
- Lachie Neale polled plenty of votes during his time at Fremantle and looks the best bet to top the Brisbane count in this year’s Brownlow Medal. Club captain Dayne Zorko is another one to consider.
- Brisbane’s youngsters have featured heavily at the top end of Rising Star betting in recent years, but the Lions lack a standout candidate on this occasion. Ely Smith, the 21st pick in last year’s draft, is rated an outside chance.
- Eric Hipwood won Brisbane’s goalkicking trophy last year with 37 majors. He might need to double that tally to figure in the race for the Coleman Medal. Don’t bother looking for another option in the Lions camp – there isn’t one.
