Brisbane Lions secure 43-point victory over Sydney Swans at the Gabba

The Brisbane Lions defeated the Sydney Swans 126‑83 (a 43‑point margin) at the Gabba on June 25, 2026. Forward trio Cam Rayner (three goals), Charlie Cameron (two) and Zac Bailey contributed significantly, while Chad Warner added a solo long‑range goal and Lachie Neale recorded 27 disposals. Coach Chris Fagan praised the team’s defensive mindset and said he will seek clarification from the AFL over a controversial penalty involving Logan Morris.

The win ends a three‑game losing streak for Brisbane and moves them back into finals contention, holding a wildcard eighth‑place spot with 32 premiership points. The Swans, missing key midfielder Errol Gulden for most of the game, were unable to replicate their usual handball‑driven offense and were left deflated after the heavy defeat.
