2026 Hall of Fame: Brisbane Lions elevate Robert Walls to Hall of Fame Legend
The late Robert Walls became just the seventh Lion to be awarded Legend status in the club’s Hall of Fame, joining an illustrious group that includes Haydn Bunton, Kevin Murray and Garry Wilson, Michael Voss, Simon Black and Jonathan Brown.
Hall of Fame Legend - Robert Walls
Roberts Walls sat in the Chanel Seven commentary box at the MCG to watch the Brisbane Lions beat Essendon in the 2001 AFL Grand Final to claim their first premiership.
Hall of Fame Inductee - Brad Scott
It’s an extraordinary family which boasts more than 1000 games of AFL football as player and coach across five clubs, six AFL premierships, three years in charge of football operations across the country, and two Hall of Famers.
Hall of Fame Inductee - Tim Notting
It’s a special thing for any AFL footballer to kick six goals at the MCG, regardless of age or experience. But to do so at 20, in just your 13th AFL game in an unfamiliar role at centre half forward, is extra special plus.
Brisbane midfielder Will Ashcroft entered the game with premiership glory in his genes and on Saturday became the youngest Norm Smith medallist of the AFL era when he won the famous medal as a 20-year-old.
