Friday night footy is coming back to the Gabba with the Lions to take on Collingwood in a round 15 blockbuster.

The last time these two side met on Easter Thursday last year was a sell-out and the best way for any non members to secure a ticket for this game and the remaining ones at the Gabba is to take up a three game membership which are still on sale.

The AFL has released the fixture block for rounds 14 – 17 with the Lions to play two matches at the Gabba followed by a trip to Cairns.

The side will enjoy a bye in round 14, following the round 13 Sir Doug Nicholls Round clash with St Kilda at the Gabba on Sunday August 23.

They then return to the Gabba to take on the Pies on Friday, September 4 at 7.50pm.

It’s a short turnaround before our next outing, against the Suns on Wednesday September 9 at 7.10pm.

Then it’s up to Cairns to take on the Swans at Cazaly’s Stadium on Sunday, September 13 at 6.10pm.

Our round 18 opponent will be Carlton with the date and time still to be confirmed.
