#165: A Win In The West

<p>The current era of Brisbane Lions success began with a shock win over reigning premiers West Coast in Round 1, 2019.</p><p>What none of us would have guessed that night, was that we would make it until at least 2027 without losing to them again.</p><p>Our eighth win in a row over the Eagles has kept our top four hopes alive, with the four-hour flight home no doubt feeling much nicer with the four points in hand.</p><p>A Crows upset over the Swans has them breathing down our necks though, leaving no margin for error as Josh Carr’s new-look Port Adelaide side make their way to the Gabba.</p><p>You wouldn’t think that playing 16th one week and 15th the next would be quite so anxiety inducing, but that’s seemingly the way of things in 2026.</p><p>Also this week:</p><p>-What went wrong in the ruck?</p><p>-Brainstorming ways to get Oscar Allen back into the side</p><p>-Our thoughts on Ken Hinkley’s Tasmania appointment</p><p>The Roar Deal is sponsored by Kartable.
