Rhys Mathieson (born 10 January 1997) is a professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). At 1.87 metres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighing 84 kilograms (185 lb), he plays as a midfielder and is known for his ability to win contested ball. On the 20 October 2023 he was delisted by the Brisbane Lions.[4]

AFL career

[edit]

He was recruited by the Brisbane Lions with the 39th selection in the 2015 national draft. He played his first senior game in round 9 of the 2016 season against Melbourne. In his time at the Lions he has been known for his on-field antics, in particular his goal celebrations. Upon kicking his first AFL goal, Rhys celebrated with a 'shotgun' move made famous by Hawthorn's Mark Williams and faced some criticism for this showboating, while the Lions were losing to GWS in round 17, 2016.[5] After his de-listing, Mathieson joined Brisbane based QAFL side Wilston Grange.
