Brisbane Lions have made a stuttering start to the AFL season
“Danny Daly, the Lions’ head of football, as a result of reports and rumours, on Monday called (co-captain) Harris Andrews and he called Lachie Neale and said: ‘Look, you have to confess to me if there is something’ about this? Is there a division in the playgroup? Are people getting sad?
“The two leaders vehemently denied it.”
Lions chief executive Swann also insisted the group of players stay together.
‘Is there a split in a group?’ Well, no, there isn’t,” Swann said.
It’s pure nonsense. There is no division in the group. This (trip) was in November, by the way. It’s not the reason we’re not going to do well.
It’s just that some of our good guys aren’t in shape. “We asked all the leaders again and they said, ‘No, there is nothing at all’ in terms of a split in the group.”
After the season-opening loss to Carlton, Lions superstar Neale erupted in an unusual outburst when he accused some players of ‘shitting’ his teammates.
“(There was) a little bit of selfishness… we probably went with some easy options,” he said after the Blues came back from a big deficit to win.
“We don’t go deep and you’re basically shitting on your teammates.”
After the loss to Collingwood on Thursday night, Brisbane’s third in a row, coach Chris Fagan admitted they were in a “bit of a slump” and his job was to help his players rediscover the magic of game day.

He also admitted that the response to his shocking form is “not obvious.”
‘Some of our players are not at their best at the moment; “I can’t tell you why,” he said.
‘That’s sport for you. ‘It’s a good challenge. You talk to them about what they are good at and reinforce that.
‘The form comes and goes. So it’s just positivity, but also honesty. They have been good players, we will not press the panic button.
“I’ve trusted them for a long time and they’ve delivered, so I’m not going to abandon them just because we’ve lost three in a row.”
