The Brisbane Lions have carried their strong form from 2024 into the 2025 season with wins in the first five rounds. The Lions face the Collingwood Magpies at the Gabba on Thursday night, aiming to keep their winning streak alive. Brisbane Lions and AFL legend Leigh Matthews told Jason Matthews on Wide World of Sports, "I think you'd be confident that when they're on and playing at their best. I think that's the top level in the game at the moment." "They've had an unusual situation where [in] four of the five games, they've been sort of well behind at half time and then really came home hard in the second half." "So that's been a bit of a vulnerability. But certainly they've been coming home strong here," Mr Matthews continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

July 9th: Leigh Matthews Disappeared (2004) We always imagine the sense of closure a family feels after their loved one's killer is placed in prison. But, this is not always the case. On July 9th 2004 a young woman disappeared in a case that saw a quick arrest and a speedy trial. But, even all these decades later, the family feels a lack of closure despite the fact that her killer remains behind bars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Leigh_Matthews, https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/leigh-matthews-fear-and-shock-as-donovan-moodleys-parole-process-begins-to-unfold-20220120, https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/leigh-matthews-murder-convicted-killer-donovan-moodley-changes-version-again-during-parole-hearing-20230330, https://www.iol.co.za/pretoria-news/news/convicted-killer-donovan-moodley-face-to-face-with-leigh-matthews-parents-in-parole-bid-f777157e-1047-4735-beb3-96780cd2360d, https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2022-01-21-leigh-matthews-murderer-donovan-moodley-to-apply-for-parole/, https://www.2oceansvibe.com/2023/03/30/sub-leigh-matthews-murder-donovan-moodley-lies-again-during-parole-bid/, https://www.citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/courts/leigh-matthews-killer-donovan-moodley-denied-parole/, https://mg.co.za/article/2005-07-25-how-leigh-matthews-was-murdered/ Learn more about your ad choices.
