BRISBANE bombed out of the finals with back-to-back defeats, but have we been collectively too nice to the Lions?
The Lions stormed their way into premiership contention and had two finals at the Gabba, but were unable to break their 10-year drought without a finals win after Saturday's semi-final defeat to Greater Western Sydney.
