New Lions ready to seize chance to join flag-winning teammates
Brisbane has given Oscar Allen and Sam Draper an opportunity to overcome injuries and reach football's pinnacle
OSCAR Allen and Sam Draper shared a car to training for their first four months in Brisbane and on Saturday they’ll share the MCG as the only two Lions yet to win a premiership.
The pair were Brisbane’s big off-season free agent acquisitions following the 2025 season, with Allen heading east after eight years at West Coast and Draper north after nine at Essendon.
"I'm very happy with how things turned out," Allen said on Friday morning.
"I've come to the club to play in big, important games, and clearly this weekend is going to be the biggest and most important and I’m really looking forward to it."

Even though he's been part of a club who has won an AFL premiership before, Oscar Allen is yet to put his hands on the famous cup.
At his last grand final parade back in 2018, Allen believed he was about to play in the decider for West Coast.
But heroic defender Jeremy McGovern courageously took his place in the grand final with broken ribs, helping the Eagles to a famous five-point win.
