The 2019 AFL season has presented a number of big new stories that have shaken the game to its core.

In a rough order, these 10 stories are up there as the biggest so far this season. Can you think of any others?

6. Brisbane's rise

There are many stories you can take from the Lion's rise to finals contention.

The coming of Charlie Cameron, the emergence of Hugh McGluggage, the All Australian nod that is likely given to Harris Andrews and the consistency of veteran Dayne Zorko.

Combine all these alongside the support and direction from Chris Fagan and you have a genuine threat going into September.

Any football fan would love the watching the Brisbane Lions and are excited by their brand of footy.

Despite minor slip ups against Carlton and a thrashing at the hands of Collingwood, the Lions sit sixth at 8-5 and are poised for a big second half of season 2019.

Brisbane haven't made finals in over a decade and we've seen underdogs and fairy-tales come true in September in recent years.

There has been a lot of 'feel good' stories in previous years and given the even competition, there's a feeling it could happen again.
