Ty Gallop started his AFL life as a key forward, earning a premiership medal last year and looking forward to a 200-game career in that role. Needs must at footy clubs, however, and their long injury list to start 2026 caused Chris Fagan to try him at centre half back, where he has looked even more promising. Media chatter has been that he might stay there when the Lions regain all their soldiers, but only Fagan knows the long-term plans. Defence is easier than attack so if he can hold down CHF he should be there, so Brisbane will have a choice to make.
