Zac Bailey Biography

Zac Bailey will stay in Brisbane until at least the end of 2026 after signing a new contract extension.

Playing predominantly up forward in 2022, Bailey kicked three or more goals on six occasions and finished the year with a career best haul of 37.

"Eventually I'd like to spend a bit more time in the midfield," Bailey said. "But at the moment, I'm pretty happy playing that small forward role and pinch-hitting in the midfield.

"I feel like my strength is to be used as that small forward and I can keep developing in that area."

Zac Bailey kicks the winning goal after the siren to hand Brisbane a thrilling one-point win against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium.

"It's an amazing feeling," Bailey told Fox Footy after the match.

"It (the kick) felt really good. There was a lot of pressure obviously and I was just glad I was able to put it through."

Zac Bailey signs a new four-year deal to remain with the Lions until the end of 2024.

"I'm really excited about the future of the club. I reckon you've always got a connection with the guys you're drafted with, you just gravitate to them in your first year or two at the club," Bailey said.

"Obviously the longer you stay, you branch out and have great friends everywhere, but there's always that connection."

Zac Bailey signs a two-year contract extension to remain with Brisbane until the end of 2021.

"I've enjoyed my time at the club so far and with all the other boys re-signing it was an easy decision to be honest," Bailey said.

"The whole club has been really good over the first seven or eight months and I want to stay with them for the next couple of years."

Zac Bailey makes his AFL debut for Brisbane at the MCG with 7 disposals (2 kicks and 5 handballs), 2 marks and a tackle in a 93-point loss to Richmond.
