The Live Sport Bible is here!Lions take action to avoid another whiteboard-gate
Sam Edmund • May 4th, 2026 5:51 pm
Brisbane has moved to protect its Intellectual Property and will frost the glass inside its training base after “whiteboard gate”.
A photo of a Lions whiteboard listing the strengths and weaknesses of Essendon players went viral before Saturday’s 64-point mauling of the Bombers.
Former Essendon captain Zach Merrett was described as "selfish", while ex-Don Jaxon Prior’s partner Bronte was written down as his strength.
The pic was taken through glass by an Auskick parent after a junior session planned for outside was moved to the "Cage” – the area inside the Lions’ Brighton Homes Arena.
While the whiteboard – something the Lions have been doing for nine years – is normally out of sight, the club won’t be taking any chances from here.
It’s understood tradesmen will attend the club in the next week to install the frosted glass.
