Levi Ashcroft skips fan day after celebrating three-peat too hard
Levi Ashcroft missed the Lions' Sunday fan day after celebrating their grand final win too hard.
Levi Ashcroft played a key role in Brisbane's grand final comeback against Fremantle, notching 19 disposals and a goal. Levi Ashcroft was nowhere to be seen when the Lions paraded their third straight premiership at their spiritual home, Brunswick Street Oval, the next day.
When his name was skipped during player introductions, fans chanted "Leeeviiiii" to no avail. Teammate Ryan Lester later revealed the reason.
"The young fella might've got a bit excited," he said with a laugh, hinting that Ashcroft's celebrations had run late into the night. The 19-year-old has now won five consecutive premierships across junior and senior levels.
He has played every game since being drafted with pick five in 2024, a record mark unlikely to be broken.
