Coach: Craig Starcevich
2020 captain: Emma Zielke
2020 best and fairest: Emily Bates
2020 in a nutshell: Started like a house on fire with three wins and a draw in the first month. Fell to Carlton in an away semi-final clash.
New players: Taylor Smith (Gold Coast), Courtney Hodder, Zimmorlei Farquharson, Ruby Svarc, Indy Tahau, Beth Pinchin
Notable departures: Arianna Clarke (retired)
Inactive players: Gabby Collingwood (injured), Sharni Webb (pregnant)
?? NEW LION ALERT ?? Welcome Beth Pinchen, who has been elevated onto our AFLW list, replacing Sharni Webb in 2021!

2021 opponents: Richmond (a), Geelong (h), GWS (a), Melbourne (h), Gold Coast (a), Adelaide (h), Fremantle (h), Collingwood (h), West Coast (a)
Circle it: The Lions will play at the Gabba for the first time in history in round eight when they host the Magpies.
Player to watch: Courtney Hodder was a junior sensation in Western Australia before successfully switching to rugby. She's back with footy now and is lightning quick with great evasion and should add real spark to Brisbane's forward half.
Best Rising Star chance: Isabel Dawes
