布里斯班雄狮队一直在尝试让经验丰富的后卫达西·加德纳（Darcy Gardiner）担任前锋，并在 AFL 总决赛输给科林伍德后首次在季前赛中取得成功。 Brisbane Lions have been experimenting with veteran defender Darcy Gardiner as a forward, with success in their first pre-season hit-out since their AFL grand final loss to Collingwood. 球队正专注于“未竟的事业”，预计阿德莱德新秀汤姆·多迪（Tom Doedee）将在第三轮因前交叉韧带撕裂而回归，而二年级天才威尔·阿什克罗夫特（Will Ashcroft）则希望在赛季中期从同样的伤病中回归。 The team is focusing on "unfinished business" and is set to see Adelaide recruit Tom Doedee return in round three from an ACL tear, while second-year talent Will Ashcroft eyes a mid-season return from the same injury.
