No Brownlow, no Norm Smith, but is this the Lions' most influential player?
On the eve of game 250, Ryan Lester's teammates pay tribute to the man who set the tone for Brisbane's culture
BRISBANE has a dual Brownlow Medal winner, a dual Norm Smith Medal winner, multiple All-Australians and game-winners on every line.
Yet perhaps the player with the most influence since the club’s remarkable rise, and then sustained success, over the past decade is Ryan Lester.
On the surface, that seems a reach, but speak to anyone inside the Lions and they will have nothing but love for Lester, who will run out for his 250th career game on Friday night against Hawthorn.
Lions legend Lester notches 250 of the best
To fully understand the significance of Ryan Lester’s 250th AFL game for the Lions at the Gabba on Friday night you only need to look at the Fitzroy history. Or the AFL’s all-time player list.
In 100 years in the VFL/AFL, among 1157 players all-time, Fitzroy had only three 250-gamers … Kevin Murray (333), Paul Roos (269) and Garry Wilson (268).
The 250-Game Club is for very special people. Like the 10 Brisbane members – Simon Black (322), Marcus Ashcroft (319), Dayne Zorko (314), Michael Voss (289), Luke Power (282), Daniel Rich (275), Shaun Hart (273), Darryl White (268), Jonathan Brown and Harris Andrews (256).
Lester’s 250th game, which comes 19 days before his 34th birthday, is a mark of extraordinary resilience and a tribute to persistence-plus.
