The 2025 Brisbane Lions have added more fuel to the dynasty conversation. Here’s a breakdown of how they stack up now, and whether they might be considered the best ever.

Here is why they could be the greatest dynasty ever.

• The Lions won back-to-back premierships: 2024 & 2025. 
• The 2025 Grand Final was a convincing win (47-point margin) over Geelong. 
• Key players are young and rising: Will Ashcroft won the Norm Smith Medal again in 2025. He is now one of the youngest to win it twice, and did so in consecutive years. 
• It’s their third consecutive Grand Final appearance (2023–2025). Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2
• Overall, this latest premiership brings their total to five, which ties or leads clubs for most in the AFL era (post‑1990). Wikipedia+1

All signs point to the Lions being very strong, not just in a single year but over several seasons. They have the recipe to get back to the Grand Final in 2026 which would make them one step away from taking the crown as the greatest ever!!
