Pre-season training typically means a rigorous schedule packed with practice sessions and fitness training to get the players in top-notch shape. The Lions' training sessions are no walk in the park; they include everything from intense cardio sessions to skill drills that focus on ball-handling finesse and strategic plays.

Of course, this isn't just about fitness – it's also an opportunity for players to bond, strengthen their friendships, and create a dynamic team culture. Team-building exercises are just as important as on-field skills, as unity can be the secret sauce for success in the AFLW.

Away from the grueling training, the Lions are also keen on keeping the community engaged and energized. Community events and fan engagement activities are part of the pre-season plan, allowing fans to rally behind the team while also giving the players a chance to give back. From school visits to charity events, the Lions aim to connect with their supporters and foster a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the pitch. This is vital as the team builds momentum towards the upcoming season, and the players know that they play just as big a role off-field as they do on it.

As the clock ticks down to the season opener, the Brisbane Lions are determined to strike a balance between hard work and fun, aiming to keep their spirits high, so there's plenty to watch over the coming months. With a mixture of grit, humor, and determination, the pre-season journey is undoubtedly going to set the stage for what fans hope will be a scintillating season ahead.
