A Brisbane Lions star will celebrate a major milestone on grand final night, as the club face one last selection dilemma this evening.
Dayne Zorko has laughed off speculation he may hang up the boots at season’s end, declaring a grand final triumph for the Brisbane Lions would not be his swan song.
“I’ve seen a little bit of this, reporting on this over the last 24 hours. I don’t know what that speculation is and why,” Zorko said.“We always seem to knock down players when they get to a certain age where they must retire. My football has been as good as it’s been over my career over the last 12 months, my body is in really good shape, there’s no reason as to why I wouldn’t continue to play next year.
Since the Lions fell in the 2004 decider, the club featured in finals football just once until 2019 – two years after Chris Fagan took over as head coach. “Early on we were coming from a long way back, and even the first few years under Fages we were building, but we weren’t probably getting the results we were chasing.
