And now, the aftermath arrives.
So much joy meets so much sadness, as we’re still digesting the greatest Grand Final win in living memory alongside the bombshell that it was Chris Fagan’s final act as Brisbane Lions coach.
With October upon us and the trade period in full swing, we’re all a bit all over the shop right now. Some of us are still in the euphoria of Wharfie Time - others, however, have had the sadness of the Fagan departure take centre stage. And for others still, they’re trying to turn their attention to the next chapter in the story of this extraordinary football club.
It’s an emotional buffet for Lions fans at the moment, and everything is on the menu.
This week:
-Who will be the next coach of the Lions?
-Why the individual moments of Grand Final greatness are getting overlooked
-The future of Kiddy Coleman
And much more!
We are here thanks to Kartable - planning for later or needing now? Streamlined pricing and procurement for all of your trade materials, supporting services & site deliveries. Go Lions!

With four minutes and eighteen seconds left, as Wharfie Time rang around the MCG, the script seemed written: The threepeat had proven to be just a bridge too far.
Fremantle Premiership merch was already on sale, the Auskickers had their Dockers guernseys on ready for the medal presentation, and Freo fans everywhere were hugging and crying as the enormity of the moment they had waited so long for started to hit them.
And of course all this was happening. Because it was over. We just don’t see comebacks in Grand Finals - certainly not like that, certainly not that late.
In the one hundred and thirty years of the competition’s history, it’s never happened before.
This Lions group, though, don’t seem all that bothered by history - at least, not unless they’re the ones making it.
And in four minutes of glory at the MCG, our Lions did exactly that.
Under the highest possible stress, with stakes that do not come any greater and a clock rapidly ticking down, the 2026 premiership was won.
Charlie Cameron started it, Zac Bailey continued it, Logan Morris finished it off, and Will Ashcroft tied it all together, officially launching this group into footy folklore for the rest of time.
2024 made these Lions a great side, 2025 made them brilliant, but the hat trick cements things - this Lions group is unquestionably now one of the greatest teams to ever play the game.
This is the rare air of a dynasty.
Enjoy our 2026 Premiership special thanks to Kartable!
