3-PEAT HERO GUERNSEY
The Brisbane Lions will wear a commemorative 3-Peat ‘Hero’ guernsey for this Friday night’s match against Collingwood to further celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Club’s historic hat-trick of Premierships.
It is the same design as the one worn in Round 8 against Essendon at Etihad Stadium.
The names of every player who played a senior match between 2001 and 2003 – and that of Senior Coach Leigh Matthews – are watermarked into the garment to recognise their contribution towards this remarkable period of success.
Fans can pre-order their limited edition guernsey online at www.lionsshop.com.au or by calling 07 3335 1712.

LAST TIME THEY MET
The Brisbane Lions suffered their biggest loss ever to Collingwood in Round 7, 2012, going down to the Pies by 58 points at the Gabba.
The Pies busted the game wide open in the first quarter, kicking the first 5 goals of the match. The momentum remained with Collingwood for the next 3 quarters, as the midfield trio of Swan, Pendlebury and Sidebottom each racked up more than 30 touches.
At half time the Lions trailed by 42 points and were unable to claw their way back into the game. Despite the best efforts of Jack Redden (28 touches and 8 tackles) and Matt Maguire, who did a terrific job on Cloke in the second half, the Lions finished the game 58 points down.
Brownlow Medal Votes: 3. S Sidebottom (COLL), 2. D Swan (COLL), 1. S Pendlebury (COLL).

Michael Voss, will coach his 100th AFL Game as the Brisbane Lions’ Senior Coach this Friday against Collingwood at the Gabba. Voss, a former Lions’ Captain, triple premiership player, Brownlow Medallist, five-time Club Champion and five-time All-Australian, was appointed as the Lions’ Senior Coach in September 2008.
Simon Black will play his 318th AFL game this weekend and equal Marcus Aschroft as the Brisbane AFL games record holder. In 2012 Black became the first player in VFL/AFL history to have played 300 games, won a Brownlow, been part of a Premiership, and won a Norm Smith Medal.
The Lions will wear the 3-Peat Guernsey for the second time in 2013 against Collingwood on Friday. The Guernsey, which features the “side-on” Lion and watermarked names of every player who played a senior game for the Lions between 2001-2003 as well as former coach Leigh Matthews, will honour those that were involved in the merged Club’s Premierships a decade ago.
The Lions will feature on Friday night football for the first time since their Semi Final against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG back in 2009.
