Bio
Recruited from the Northern Territory via Norwood and Prince Alfred College with pick 15 in the 2017 National Draft, Zac Bailey arrived at Brisbane during a significant rebuilding phase. While early fears regarding player retention at the Lions were prevalent, Bailey became a key figure in stabilizing the list, committing to the club and developing into a dynamic match-winner. Renowned for his explosive speed, agility, and ability to evade tackles in congestion, he established himself as a dangerous hybrid threat capable of impacting the game both through the midfield and inside 50.
Bailey's career has been defined by his capacity for high-impact moments, most notably his match-winning goal after the siren against Collingwood in 2021. A consistent scoreboard contributor, he played an instrumental role in Brisbane's rise to power, featuring in the 2023 Grand Final before helping secure the premiership in 2024. Now a seasoned campaigner, Bailey remains one of the Lions' most potent attacking weapons, using his burst pace to break defensive lines and finish accurately on the run.
