Why the pressure is mounting on dismal Lions

The pressure is mounting on Brisbane coach Chris Fagan, according to AFL great Matthew Lloyd.

The Lions have started their season miserably, slumping to a 2-5 record after seven rounds.

Most recently, they went down to the Giants by a whopping 54 points, with questions raised around their hunger.

Fagan admitted after that loss that he had ”no answers” for the blistering GWS forward line and his side’s drop in pressure.

“Our sharpness to defend, which has been one of our strengths this year, wasn’t where it should have been tonight,” Fagan said post-match.

“We just didn’t work as hard as they did. I have no excuses.”

With Brisbane 13th on the ladder, it appears the side is performing completely differently to the one that made the 2023 grand final, only losing to Collingwood by four points.
