Lions defender Darcy Gardiner gives a thumbs-up to fans.

After just two matches during the season, Gardiner returned to the side for the preliminary final and held his spot for grand final.

The Brisbane side’s most successful era was from 2001 to 2003, when they won three premierships in a row.

They are yet to win again since their golden era.
