List of Brisbane Lions players explained

This is a list of every player to have been listed in the Australian Football League or the AFL Women's for the Brisbane Lions in the club's history.

Players are listed in order of debut, and the start of their Brisbane Lions career is determined by their year of debut, and the end is determined by the year of their final game playing for the Brisbane Lions. This guideline results in the possibility that players may not have necessarily begun or finished their career on the Brisbane Lions' list within these periods listed.

AFL players

Order
Players are listed in order of debut, then alphabetically by surname
SeasonsIncludes Brisbane Lions only careers. All seasons spent on the Brisbane list from the player's AFL debut for the club to their last AFL game for the club
DebutDebuts are for AFL regular season and finals series matches only
GamesStatistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches only and are correct to the end of the 2023 season. Games played for either of the two clubs that merged in 1996 to form the Brisbane Lions, the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Football Club are not included in this list. However, Brisbane Bears players who played for the Brisbane Lions are officially recognised by the AFL as being one-club players whereas Fitzroy players who were selected by the Bears to play for Brisbane are not. Official AFL records list former Fitzroy players as being two-club players.

For the 2022 season, clubs were permitted a supplementary list of 20 state league players, who would be available to play in the AFL if players were unavailable due to the league's health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brisbane selected VFL players from Coburg, Port Melbourne and their own reserves team. None played an AFL game for the Lions.
