FAST FOOTY FACTS
The Brisbane Lions are one of only three teams to have never won a pre-season competition together with the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle. However, the Club has experienced two pre-season premierships with Fitzroy in 1959 and 1978.
The Lions have twice made it through to the Grand Final of the pre-season competition since the 1997 merger - in 2001 against Port Adelaide and in 2007 against Carlton.
Lions Vice-Captain Luke Power has played more matches in the pre-season competition than any other current Lions player with 27 while Daniel Bradshaw ranks second with 23 pre-season games.
Bradshaw has also kicked more goals during the pre-season competition than any other current Lions player with 29. Lions Captain Jonathan Brown is next best with 17 goals from ten matches.
Jared Brennan became the first Lions player to kick multiple nine-point 'super goals' in a match last season against Essendon at Gold Coast Stadium. The livewire left-footer's total of two career super goals is the most kicked by any current Lions player.
The Lions have not won a match at Gold Coast Stadium since Round 7 of the 2006 AFL Premiership Season when they defeated Hawthorn by 40 points.
