Lions Draw First Blood

The Lions have gotten a perfect start to the season by winning against a very disappointing Eagles side by 46 points. Daniel Rich starred in his AFL Debut, kicking 1 goal and grabbing 26 disposals, he couldn't ask for a better debut indeed. Aaron Cornelius also did well in his first game grabbing 16 disposals and kicking a beautiful goal from 45m out. Once again, Brown and Bradshaw dominated as usual. Brown kicked 6 while Bradshaw kicked 4. The Eagles` plan to stop Brown and Bradshaw obviously failed. Mark Lecras starred for the Eagles kicking 5 goals. The Selwood brothers played against each other and didnt take it easy at all at each other. But the Lions would never take it easy against the Eagles with Tim Notting and Jared Brennan getting reported for strking Troy Selwood and Quinten Lynch. We will bring you the news from the tribunal tomorrow. But for now, its goodbye from me and have a good weekend, with the Brisbane Lions thrashing The West Coast Eagles by 46 points in front of a crowd of 32,000 at the mighty Gabba.
