There’s an old saying that, “what happens on an end-of-season trip should stay on the trip”, and that’s how the Brisbane Lions have responded to concerns about an off-season vacation by some of their players to the US. They say there’s no rift among players and the trip is not to blame for their winless start to the season.

The Brisbane Lions have categorically denied that a rift developed in their playing group following an off-season trip to the USA.

Both denied there were any ongoing issues. Neale was one of a small group of Lions players who travelled to America, along with former Hawthorn and Geelong premiership player Isaac Smith. Andrews was in Europe.“I quickly spoke to our leaders over the phone, there was no meeting per se,” he said. “I spoke to both leaders for about one minute, just asking if there was any truth in it.“They categorically told me there wasn’t.

Brisbane Lions football manager Danny Daly talks to media about the club’s winless start to 2024 and the off-season issues that have now been aired in public.“We’re at zero–three so there’ll always be heat on performances,” Daly said. “We’ve played some really good football in patches this year. It’s just the consistency of our performances we need to straighten out a little bit.
