I wrote a story 12 months ago that the Ashcroft family doesn't know how to lose.

Levi joined his older brother Will and father Marcus as a Brisbane premiership player in 2025, and the pair replicated that feeling last week in a thrilling win over Fremantle.

Will claimed his third consecutive flag, matching his father's efforts in 2001-2003. Levi has two premierships in two seasons in the AFL, taking the tally between the three boys to eight flags.

But daughter Lucy, who played with Southport Sharks in the QAFLW, also tasted her own premiership success in 2026.

Lucy is part of the Lions' women's academy ahead of her draft year in 2027.

She made her senior debut for the Sharks in early August, the last round of the home-and-away season against Moreton Bay.

Lucy returned to the reserves side for the finals and won the premiership against Coorparoo earlier in September.

Levi's grand final win makes it five consecutive premierships, dating back to a three-peat during his Sandringham Dragons days.

Will claimed his second Gary Ayres Award but surprisingly didn't earn enough votes to win the Norm Smith Medal.

Marcus (318 games and three premierships), Will (85 games, three premierships, two Norm Smiths, two Gary Ayres Awards) and Levi (54 games and two premierships) have a remarkable record, which could be added to in the years to come.
