Dakota Davidson has urged Brisbane Lions supporters to come out in force at Maroochydore ahead of their Round 5 clash against Collingwood.

“We’d love to see another big crowd down there on Saturday,” Davidson said.

“It was great last week having the crowd behind us, it was such a huge atmosphere booster seeing all the Sunny Coast supporters and Brisbane supporters get up there.

“I actually heard someone came from Rockhampton! So it was just amazing to see all the fans out there enjoying watching us play footy again and get behind us.”

AFLW Last Time We Met: vs Collingwood Prelim Final

We look back at the last time we faced the Magpies in the 2021 AFLW Preliminary Final.

“The Pies this weekend will be another great contest,”

“Collingwood’s a very good team and definitely a Premiership contender this season.

“They’ve always shown us how strong they are in the midfield, and then with Chloe Molloy up front and the likes of Sabrina [Frederick], they’re definitely a great team and we’ll have to bring our best on Saturday if we want to compete with them.”

Off the back of their 2021 success, the Lions are on the verge of reaching a record-breaking 2,000 AFLW memberships.

Dawes: It Was A Bloody Grind

Belle Dawes was nothing but smiles after tonight's win against Geelong on her home deck in Maoorhycore.

It’s a feat that Davidson says really inspires the whole playing group.

“It’s really exciting to know that nearly 2,000 people have thrown their support behind us this season with an AFLW membership,”

“We’re cusp of cracking that 2,000 AFLW member mark, and it’s a really exciting moment for the Club and the whole team.

“We have the best fans in the competition and to see them throw their support behind us like this, and like they do on game day, really just inspires the whole playing group.”
