All Victorian-based fans heading to Etihad Stadium this Saturday afternoon to watch the Lions’ Round 18 match against North Melbourne are encouraged to stay back after the game to hear from some of the players and coaches at the Club’s second aftermatch function for 2011.

The aftermatch function is FREE for all Lions fans and will be held inside Etihad Stadium’s Victory Room which is located between Aisles 14-16 on Level 1.

The hosted event will start shortly after the final siren (approximately 4:45pm) and will run till around 6:15pm.

A Lions coach will be on hand to provide a post-match review while a large selection of players will arrive once they have completed their usual post-match warm-downs to sign autographs and mingle with their fans.

MC Craig Huggins and Lions mascot Bernie ‘Gabba’ Vegas will keep the crowd entertained in the meantime with roving fan questions, giveaways and trivia competitions. Food and drinks will also be available for purchase within the room.

So hang around at Etihad Stadium after the game to mix with your fellow supporters and hear directly from the Lions players.
