LIONS LOWDOWN | No Andrews, No McCluggage, No Worries!

Round 4 delivered one of those nights that felt bigger than the scoreboard — and on this week’s Lions Lowdown, Ash is here to pull the whole thing apart with his usual mix of storytelling, stats, mischief and unapologetic Brisbane pride.From the nerves (or lack of them), to the build-up, to a pre-game twist from the other mob that raised more eyebrows than it answered, Ash takes you right into the feel of the night before a ball was even bounced. Then it’s on to the game itself — the explosive start, the outrageous highlight that might already have a place reserved in folklore, and the midfield domination that flipped the momentum and never let it go.But this episode is far from just a recap. Ash digs into the selection calls, the odd little subplots swirling around Collingwood, the commentary quirks, the weird and wonderful stats unearthed by Luke, and the shifting media narratives that always seem to orbit us after a big win. You’ll hear who starred, who surprised, and who — in Ash’s words — is going “straight in the bin.”There’s praise, there’s frustration, there’s laughter, there’s one extremely cursed joke about AFL House after dark, and a top-five list that reveals the opposition clubs Ash secretly rates more than you’d expect.It’s sharp, it’s passionate, and it’s full of the kind of takes you’ll be thinking about long after the siren.If you love the Lions, love footy, or just love hearing someone absolutely in their element, this is not one to miss.Tune in — and buckle up. The Lowdown is rolling.
