Editing Brisbane Lions (section)

===History===
In the inaugural year of the Brisbane Lions (1997), the club affiliated with the [[Queensland Australian Football League]] (QAFL), allowing players not selected for the AFL team to be drafted to individual clubs.<ref>{{citation|title=Scoreboard|newspaper=Courier Mail|page=18|date=2 June 1997}}</ref> Reserves players not on an AFL list cannot be called up to the AFL team, they must first be drafted into the AFL.

Between [[1998 QSFL season|1998]] and [[2010 QAFL season|2010]], the club's reserves team participated in the QAFL, where it was initially known as the "Lion Cubs".<ref>{{citation|title=Scoreboard|newspaper=Courier Mail|page=15|date=11 May 1998}}</ref> The club won their first reserve-grade premiership in [[2001 AFLQ State League season|2001]] when they defeated the [[Southport Sharks]] in the Grand Final. In [[2004 AFLQ State League season|2004]], they began to compete as the Suncoast Lions Football Club. The side played home matches at [[the Gabba]] (as a curtain raiser game for Brisbane Lions matches) and, formerly, at the Fishermans Road football complex on the [[Sunshine Coast, Queensland|Sunshine Coast]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Australian Football – Suncoast Lions Football Club – Info |url=https://australianfootball.com/clubs/info/Suncoast+Lions/240 |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=australianfootball.com}}</ref>

In 2011, the team moved to the multi-state [[North East Australian Football League]] (NEAFL), where they won four premierships − 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2019.

Following the NEAFL disbanding after the [[2019 NEAFL season|2019 season]], the reserves side moved to the [[Victorian Football League]] (VFL), with their first season in [[2021 VFL season|2021]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vfl.com.au/victorian-football-league-2021-season-set-to-begin-april-17/|title=VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE 2021 SEASON SET TO BEGIN APRIL 17|work=vfl.com.au|date=1 February 2021|access-date=3 March 2021|archive-date=1 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301103901/https://vfl.com.au/victorian-football-league-2021-season-set-to-begin-april-17/|url-status=live}}</ref>
