Our 2016 AFL fixture was released yesterday and with seven Victorian games and a host of blockbusters at the Gabba, our fans were generally pleased. See how they reacted on Twitter below:

@brisbanelions great work by the club to get 6 games in Melb. All the hard work lobbying for it over the years has finally paid off.

@brisbanelions - 6 games in Melbourne plus one in Geelong. There should be dancing in the streets! Loving the fixture! ❤️

@brisbanelions prepared to admit I let cynicism of past events get the best of me. Well done on securing 6 Melb games. Long may it continue!

@SteeleTallon @brisbanelions If you want to win a flag need to beat everyone, so fixture not that tough.

And finally, a promise we're going to hold him to...
@brisbanelions if the lions make the 8 in 2016, I will buy every starting 22 player a beer. I swear, cross my heart.
