Chris Fagan has stepped down as Brisbane Lions coach, days after leading the club to a third-straight AFL premiership.

The Lions say they respect Fagan's decision and steps will be taken to appoint a new coach "in due course".

Chris Fagan has told the Brisbane Lions he is stepping down as coach following the club's third-straight AFL premiership success.

The 65-year-old led Brisbane to a stunning 14.12 (96) to 12.17 (89) victory against Fremantle on Saturday.

However, he told the club he wanted to step away from the final year of his contract to be closer to his family.

Fagan responds to Neale's Magpies meeting

Brisbane coach Chris Fagan addresses Lachie Neale's meeting with Collingwood last week

CHRIS Fagan says he hasn't lost any sleep over Lachie Neale's decision to tour Collingwood's facilities last week, but conceded he would have preferred it happened after the Lions played Carlton, not before.

Brisbane's two-time Brownlow Medal winner was taken through the Magpies home base last Friday, just 24 hours out from his team's date with the Blues at Marvel Stadium.

Following revelations of Neale's tour, and the Lions' subsequent 76-point loss, former players and pundits criticised the timing of the free agent's visit to a rival club.

Speaking ahead of his team's crucial match against Hawthorn on Friday night, Fagan said it was something the industry had to get used to.

Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan says it would have been nice for Lachie Neale to tell him of his tour of a rival club’s headquarters.

Dual Brownlow medallist Neale visited Collingwood’s base last Friday, a day before Brisbane crashed to a 76-point loss to Carlton.

Neale, widely expected to leave the Lions and join the Magpies at the end of this season, didn’t tell Fagan of his plans.

“He hadn’t spoken to me about it, so I wasn’t aware,” Fagan said.

‘We want to get better’: Magpies star comments on Neale visit

Injured Collingwood forward Jamie Elliott has commented on the club’s pursuit of Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale.

SEN's Tom Morris (see full story below) reported on the weekend that Neale was at the KGM Centre last Friday to tour the Magpies’ facilities.

Elliott says the club is all about getting better, so if they have to look at top players from rival clubs then that’s what they’ll do.

“We run the motto of ‘we want to get better’, so if that’s looking at players that can make us better in any regard then obviously we want to look at those players,” Elliott said on SEN Breakfast.

Brisbane coach Chris Fagan has backed Ty Gallop to learn from a costly three-match suspension

BRISBANE coach Chris Fagan has reassured Ty Gallop of the respect he has for the young defender following the "out of character" incident that landed him a three-game suspension.

Gallop was sanctioned by the Tribunal on Tuesday night for his shove of an unsuspecting Mitch Georgiades that resulted in the Port forward landing face-first in the Gabba turf.

Fagan spoke passionately about Gallop at his weekly press conference on Thursday, describing the 20-year-old as an "outstanding person that made a little mistake".

"It's probably on the more severe side of what I thought they could do, but that's not the point.

Fagan’s first big rebuild signing hits historic double milestone

Charlie Cameron is a veritable feast of football content and quirky football facts this week ahead of a major reward for a huge career decision nine years ago.

It’s almost to make you want to steal the old advertising slogan… but wait, there’s more!

Cameron is the #1 Member of the Chris Fagan Brisbane Lions Rebuilding Program, having made a call in October 2017 to walk away from an AFL grand final side and join the wooden-spooners.

The now 32-year-old excitement machine was the first ‘big’ signing of the club’s rebuild under coach Fagan, who at the time was 12 months, 22 games, five wins and one ‘spoon’ into his time in Brisbane.

Saints make late change ahead of huge Roos clash, Lions host Port. Follow LIVE

ST KILDA has made a change minutes before the first bounce against North Melbourne with Rowan Marshall ruled out.

Marshall will miss with a back spasm and has been replaced by Anthony Caminiti.

It came after Cooper Sharman was ruled out an hour before the bounce and replaced by Dan Butler.

The Roos (8-10) continue to frustrate as they added Melbourne to the finals contenders that they have at least challenged before suffering a defeat, extending their record of failing to beat a side currently sitting in the top 10.

The Kangaroos' wildcard hopes are hanging by a thread and the clash with the Saints is their last match-up against a bottom-half side in a tough run home.

Brisbane survive Carlton scare after late drama gifts Levi Ashcroft double free kick

Brisbane have survived an uncharacteristically fast-finishing Carlton to escape with an 11-point win after late drama threatened to put the result to bed.

Amidst a season of second-half fadeouts, Carlton bucked their crippling trend to kick 11 of the last 15 goals of the match, after trailing at one stage by 49 points, as they nearly snatched an unlikely victory over the two-time reigning premiers.

The result was still up for grabs until Lachie Neale kicked the sealer for the Lions at the 28-minute mark, but it was almost put to bed earlier in the last quarter when Levi Ashcroft was awarded a double free kick directly in front of goals.
