Be at the Gabba this Saturday night when Vossy's Lions strive for three wins on the trot while facing two very different Club milestones...
MILESTONE ONE
Bernie 'Gabba' Vegas will officially celebrate 100 games as the AFL's coolest Club mascot since taking over from Oba the Lion near the end of Season 2004.
So to celebrate, Bernie's having a 6:30pm lap of honour with almost 200 of his free 'Gabba Gang' clubmates along with special guest characters from Warner Bros.
Arrive early to join Bernie and his Warner Bros buddies in the Gate 2 parklands on the corner of Main & Stanley Streets for face painting, badge making, bead threading, hero mailing and test your AFL skills in the handball target competition.
MILESTONE TWO
Lions full forward spearhead Daniel Bradshaw is aiming to surpass former Club great Alastair Lynch's Brisbane-based (1994-2004) goal-kicking record with the Bears and Lions of 460 majors.
Braddy is sitting just two short on 458 with 20 goals already this season and will be looking for the midfielders to hit him up to reach this milestone.

FAST FOOTY FACTS
The Lions have conceded the 3rd least amount of points in the competition so far at 627 with only St Kilda (378) and Geelong (535) being more miserly in defence.
The Lions have won 12 of their 19 matches against Adelaide for a winning percentage of 63%.
However, over the last three years Adelaide have enjoyed the edge with three wins from four games.
Lions Captain Jonathan Brown has managed only 11 goals from his 10 matches against Adelaide since making his debut against the Crows in Round 5 of 2000.
But Browny is on fire this year having kicked 24 goals which places him equal 2nd in the Coleman Medal race with Carlton's Brendan Fevola and just behind Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead on 26 goals.
