Fagan Hits Out at 'Hero' Parent for Whiteboard Leak
Chris Fagan said the leak was taken from a public-access session and that Brisbane has used whiteboard scouting notes for nine years.
- On Friday, a photo of Brisbane Lions' private whiteboard notes detailing Essendon players' strengths and weaknesses appeared on Facebook, prompting coach Chris Fagan to criticize the "hero" actions of the parent who leaked the confidential information from Brighton Homes Arena.
- The whiteboard featured harsh assessments of several Bombers, including captain Zach Merrett labeled "selfish" and defender Ben McKay marked "low confidence." Former Lions defender Jaxon Prior's only strength was listed as his partner, Bronte Thompson.
- Fagan noted the club has used opposition boards for nine years, calling the leak disappointing. Lions co-captain Harris Andrews added the incident may force a re-think of the club's security protocols to protect internal information.
- The Lions defeated the Bombers 143 to 79 at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, with Fagan confirming he spoke to Prior after the match to assure him there was no ill intent behind the whiteboard comments.
- Essendon coach Brad Scott appeared unfazed by the incident, stating it was an issue for Brisbane to handle, while Fagan emphasized the club will continue allowing community access to their facilities despite the breach.
