Lions CEO Greg Swann has strongly rejected a suggestion that the AFL has staged an "intervention" at the Club.

A television report on Saturday night suggested that AFL operations boss Mark Evans had visited the Club on Thursday to "interview officials, coaches and players because of AFL concerns."

Swann said it was Brisbane who invited Evans to the Club to help prepare a wish list to present at a long-scheduled AFL Commission meeting in Queensland later this month.

“I asked Mark to come up and go through preparations with us for that meeting because he is very experienced,’’ Swann said.

"It's about resourcing - he spoke to a few guys and asked what else we need and between us we got a wish list."

“We asked him to come up because he knows what’s going on around the league and it was actually a good day.’’

Swann said some of the club’s resourcing requests would be for extra staff and facilities, with the Club currently spending $1.2 million below the soft cap on football department expenditure.

“We are looking for extra resourcing in a whole range of areas to help improve our footy and compete on a level playing field, like a full-time psychologist, a forward scout, high performance and recruiting staff, and development staff,’’ Swann said

"Meetings like we had with Mark are just all part of that ongoing process and happen at clubs across the competition."
