Brisbane will continue using its whiteboard for opposition analysis in the wake of the controversy that emerged from last week.
The Lions' assessment of Essendon players' strength and weaknesses came to light, with one note in particular leaving a sour taste for those who viewed it.
"It was unfortunate, what happened with the whiteboard, (but) the good thing was that early in the week I was able to sit down with the leadership group and chat about what happened and as a result, we put a few things in place at the club,” Brisbane coach Chris Fagan said.
Former Lion-now-Bomber Jaxon Prior had his partner's name under one of his strengths, which Fagan confirmed has never occurred since he started using it as a tool.
"If that had been the case, we wouldn't even talk about this stuff, so we were a little bit unlucky there," Fagan said.
"We also talked about what's OK to write on that board and what's not, and certainly writing a partner's name on the board isn't, so we've made that clear to the playing group.
"That's probably the first time a player's partner's name has ever been written on the board.
"On investigating, it was clearly just a bit of a joke and having a bit of fun, which unfortunately can be taken the wrong way, and I understand that.
"It wasn't good enough on our behalf, (but) we'll continue doing our whiteboard."
Fagan remained "unapologetic" over its use, saying it was initially used to help the younger players in the squad.
"I'm unapologetic about that. We're in a pretty tough business where every little thing matters. It's been a really good educational tool that we've used over the years.
"When I first got here (ahead of the 2017 season), I didn't think our players knew enough about their opposition, so we put that whiteboard up to use, and now all the older guys are pretty good at that.
"We just use it for our one-to-four-year players as part of their education."
