Brisbane legend Jonathan Brown has slammed the AFL over the Lions' fixture in 2016, labeling it "a disgrace".
The Lions suffered yet another humiliating loss on the weekend, this time going down to Fremantle by 83 points at the Gabba.
Brown said on Fox Footy's On the Couch on Monday night, that the AFL should shoulder some of the blame for Brisbane's poor start to the year, with his former club "given the second hardest draw" of any side in the competition.
"The Lions were hung out to dry. I don't want to to stick up for my old club too much but the Lions were hung out to dry with being given the second hardest draw in the first half of the competition," Brown said.
"That is a disgrace from the people at the AFL who made that draw. They've given the Lions' so-called easy games on the road, with a young list. So fix it up, for Christ's sake because it was an absolute disgrace going into the season like that."
Brisbane currently has one win from the opening 12 rounds and sit 17th on the ladder with a percentage of just 60.50 per cent.
Brisbane's next five weeks:
R13 V West Coast (Gabba)
R14 V Richmond (MCG)
R15 - Bye
R16 V GC Suns (Metricon Stadium)
R17 V GWS (Gabba)
