Great balls of fire it's Round 22 already!
The Gabba is set to be packed to the rafters as we celebrate our amazing members in a twilight clash against the Crom.
Two big milestones and HEAPS of prizes to give out and we're not even talking footy yet!
This is everything you need to know before bounce.
Last time we met
Wasn't our best outing last time we played the Crows.
Our seven-game winning streak came to an end on a Sunday arvo at Adelaide Oval, here's what the AFL said:
"Adelaide has re-claimed its spot in the top eight after withstanding the challenge of a wasteful Brisbane to secure a 17-point victory in slippery conditions at Adelaide Oval on Sunday evening.
"The result ended the Lions' seven-game winning streak, with the visitors left to rue kicking 1.9 from 19 inside 50s in the third term when they closed within a goal, only for the Crows to pull away to triumph 14.11 (95) to 10.18 (78) and move up to seventh on the ladder."
You get the picture, we didn't kick straight, we lost, we move on! Watch the highlights above if you want to feel sad...
Be excited about
Hugh and Conor's Milestones
It's an exciting time for a couple of our Lions, with Hugh McCluggage and Conor McKenna set to run out for their 150th and 100th games tomorrow!
'Hughy' or 'Clug' as he's affectionately known around these traps, has grown before all our eyes into one of the most balanced midfielders in the competition.
A leader on and off-field, a podcast host and now a 150 gamer, just need the W to pull it all together!
Meanwhile, Conor McKenna's impact on our side cannot be understated.
Safe to say we didn't think 'Kenny' would hit the ground running as effortlessly after two years out of the game.
His run and carry and competitiveness has been a highlight this year and we're certainly glad he chose us!
Match-ups we're keen for
Jack Payne vs Taylor Walker
This one is set to be a biggie!
The in-form Tex will come to the Gabba with a head full of steam ready to keep his side in the fight for finals.
But he'll have a 197cm, 104kg man mountain in Payney to get through first.
Payney's season so far has been nothing short of extraordinary, and he's proven time and time again that he has the physicality, speed and strength to shut down the games biggest forwards.
Meanwhile, Tex sits second on the Coleman Medal ladder and is in equally terrific form.
While ultimately it will come down to the entire teams defence to shut down the Crows, this is one match-up we can't wait for!
