Outgoing Brisbane coach Chris Fagan has gone all out for his final speech at the Lions during the club’s best and fairest night, Docker Jordan Clark copping a scathing drive-by.

Fagan revealed on Thursday he would ride off into the sunset after delivering the Lions three premierships in three years and having turned the club from wooden spooners to powerhouses during his decade in charge.

It means he forgoes the chance to join Collingwood legend James ‘Jock’ McHale as the only coaches to win four premierships in a row.

But it did allow him to unwind on Merrett–Murray Medal night.

The 65-year-old addressed every player individually, but it was his comments to defender Darcy Wilmot that raised the eyebrows of the Dockers’ faithful.

“Motty, I’m not an All-Australian selector, but it’s about time they picked you in the All-Australian team, I reckon, mate,” Fagan started.

“If that Jordan Clark from Fremantle can get picked, I reckon you can, anyway.”

Clark earned his second All-Australian blazer this season after his maiden call-up in 2025.

He averaged a career-high 22 disposals per game alongside 4.7 marks, two tackles and an elite, according to the AFL, 480 metres gained per match.

In comparison, Wilmot averaged 20 disposals, six marks, 1.6 tackles and 359.8 metres gained this season.

Clark wasn’t the only one to cop a drive-by on the night, with dual Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale not missed ahead of his move to Collingwood for next season.

“I would like to just acknowledge Lachie Neale, who we now know is going to the dark side,” Lions chairman Andrew Wellington said.

“Take a last look at Lachie because he’s going tomorrow to have some teeth removed and a bit more ink.”

However, Fagan delivered a heartfelt message.

“I wish you all the best with the rest of your life and whatever happens to you,” he said.
