**"Little Things Matter": The Black Book Behind the Brisbane Lions' AFLW Success** As the Brisbane Lions prepare for their sixth grand final, they embody a strong sense of unity, even as they enter the match as underdogs against North Melbourne. With a remarkable track record of reaching six out of the eight AFLW grand finals, the Lions have become experts in navigating the challenges of the big stage. At the heart of their preparation is a unique notebook, kept by Breeanna Brock, the head of women’s football at the club. The cover, adorned with pink lettering that reads “Finals,” contains invaluable insights and lessons learned from their previous experiences. “We have a little black book of finals: rinse and repeat,” Brock explains as the team gears up for Saturday’s showdown. “I jot down what worked, what didn’t, and essential reminders—‘don’t forget to do this.’” This meticulous approach to preparation highlights the importance of the little things in achieving success, and it’s a testament to the Lions’ commitment to excellence as they aim for another championship title.
