The Brisbane Lions reserves 2010 QAFL fixture list as follows:
LIONS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2010 QAFL DRAW
The Lions’ season opener against Mt Gravatt is a rescheduled Round 11 clash to align the Lions reserves with their senior team’s Bye in late June. The game will be the first of ten QAFL Rivalry Challenge matches to be played in 2010.
Eight Brisbane Lions reserves matches will be played as curtain raisers to a senior AFL game at the Gabba in 2010.
The Lions reserves will play one home match at the Club’s usual training facility - Giffin Park, Coorparoo - in Round 10 against Southport due to the Queensland Scorpions taking on NSW/ACT in the curtain raiser at the Gabba.
The Lions face a tough opening to the QAFL season with matches against reigning Grand Finalists Mt Gravatt, NT Thunder at their near impenetrable home ground in Darwin and reigning premiers Morningside in the opening three rounds.
Former AFL premiership player Tim Notting will make his first visit back to the Gabba in opposition colours in Round 5 when the Lions host Labrador. New Lions teenage draftee Bryce Retzlaff may also be squaring off against his former local side.

In other features of the 2010 QAFL State League draw:
• The NT Thunder, such a huge success in their first season in the QAFL in 2009, will have their travel load reduced by three games. They will play eight games in Darwin and four in Alice Springs, and make only six visits to south-east Queensland.
• Each team will travel to the NT at least once - premiers Morningside, Broadbeach and the Western Magpies will travel twice. Morningside, Mt.Gravatt, Redland and the Magpies will visit Alice. Broadbeach will visit Darwin twice, and Brisbane Lions, the Magpies, Southport, Aspley, Labrador and Morningside will visit the NT capital once each.
• Morningside (Alice Springs - Round 3), Western Magpies (Darwin - Round 6) and Broadbeach (Darwin - Round 18) will surrender a ‘home’ game to the NT to fill the Thunder’s 12-match quota.
• Each QAFL team except Southport will play a Gabba curtain-raiser against the Brisbane Lions Reserves. The Sharks’ scheduled ‘away’ game against the Lions will be played at Coorparoo due to a clash of dates with a Queensland U18 match against NSW/ACT in the NAB Australian U18 Championships.
• Morningside and the Western Magpies will play at Heritage Oval, Toowoomba, on Saturday, 5 June as they look to strengthen their presence in the western region.
