2010 Brisbane Lions season
Introduction This covers all the results and statistics for the Brisbane Lions in the 2010 AFL season.
2009 off-season The Lions lost in their semi-final clash against the Western Bulldogs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground by 51 points. It was the last game for veteran Tim Notting, who announced his retirement almost a week from the match. Michael Voss was desperate to make some changes to the playing list. The Lions secured three players on the first day of the 2009 AFL Trade Week. 's Amon Buchanan and West Coast's Brent Staker were traded in a complex three-team deal that also involved Brisbane's Bradd Dalziell who went to West Coast and West Coast's Mark Seaby who went to . In a separate trade on the same day, 's Andrew Raines joined the Lions. The Lions continued to be active in the trade week and on the fourth day they secured 's Xavier Clarke. On the final day of Trade Week, Fevola was traded to the Lions for Lachlan Henderson. Daniel Bradshaw and Michael Rischitelli originally were put up trade for Fevola but the deal fell through after Rischitelli declined. Bradshaw was incensed at being put up for trade and eventually quit the Lions.With one of the best team rosters ahead of the 2010 season, Brisbane were expected to once again make the finals. Four straight wins saw them on top of the ladder after round four, but from there the Lions went into freefall winning only three more games for the season.
