will wear a bespoke one-of-a-kind '23' diamond on his boot during tonight's warm-up.

The boot along with the diamond (valued at $6k) will be signed by Charlie and auctioned off post-game, with the proceedings going to Lions Legacy. Part of the funds will see the Lions Legacy send food, footballs, and merchandise to Charlie’s community and family in the Gulf of Carpentaria who are experiencing catastrophic flooding. Charlie’s community is incredibly important to him and very close to his heart.

The 23 Project has been made possible through the Brisbane Lions partnership with Claude & Me Jewellery.

The auction is live until Tuesday 11 April: https://app.galabid.com/the23project/

THREE-PEAT GUERNSEY

The Brisbane Lions will tonight wear a special commemorative guernsey to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Club’s 2003 premiership.

This limited-edition collector’s item completes the commemorative guernsey range released over the past three years celebrating the Club's 3-peat triumphs.

Every Premiership Players name is listed inside the number, as well as an image of the unforgettable team that brought home the silverware on that momentous day in 2003.

will be given a Lap of Honour before tonight’s match.

Robinson, who retired at the end of last season, will take part in the Lap of Honour with his wife Emma and three children; Chance, Charli and Maali.

Robinson arrived at The Gabba at the end of 2014 after 100 games with Carlton. He played a further 147 games with the Lions, including being joint winner of the Merrett-Murray Medal as the Club’s Best and Fairest in 2015. The utility was awarded the Player’s Player in 2019, received All Australian nominee honours in 2019 and 2020, and kicked 129 goals over 14 seasons for both clubs.

[pOleK]

I wanna hope that because this is being played at the Gabba this'll be a close one. I'm just scared...

 

[bungalow_bill]

Lions have 2 chances to win.. zero and none. Can feel a thrashing coming up

 

[Zevon]

Really depends which Lions side turns up, because I feel like we pretty much know what we’ll get from Collingwood now.

If it’s the Lions that lost to Port and the Dogs then the Magpies win by heaps.

If it’s the Lions that beat up on Melbourne for 3 and a half quarters then it’s game on.

 

[McIvor]

This will be a massacre - to many issues at the Lions to overcome the rampaging Pies who all play for one another and actually have a game plan.

Pies by a lot.

 

[My Tilly]

Cameron is a big loss and as poor as what McInerney is, he will dominate and give Neale and Dunkley first use.

Should be a good game.
Brisbane win this, they should win a few in a row.

 

[iBeng]

lol we are going to make McStay look like Plugger.

 

[blueiris]

lol we are going to make McStay look like Plugger.

McStay will look more like Nic Nat the Pies have no choice but to play Daniel in the ruck

 

[Dazb86]

Tipping the Lions and I'm not sure why

 

[LoungeLizard]

Carrot diet this week for the Pies, we will be ready for the darkness.

 

[timokane]

Pies sort out their ruck and Pies win this by 20 points

 

[Carringbush2010]

Will get smashed in the hit outs, we got smashed around the ruck against the tigs and lost clearances but still won cp by 22.

Bris a different proposition at the Gabba though and so is Big O.

Could go either way, they've def got more talent on their list and now we're imbalanced with no ruck. Can our system overcome the lions?

If it was at home I'd say yes, not sure at Bris, can't call it.

 

[M Malice]

 

[blueiris]

Tipping the Lions and I'm not sure why

The only thing in our favour is the Gabba factor having won 36 of the last 39 games

 

[nahnah]

I’m surprised by the lions fans lack of confidence for this one given their team is strong. I remember when they were genuinely awful 8 or so years ago they’d still think they’d win

The cricket wicket changes the way teams approach centre bounces. Always felt like certain teams struggled at the Gabba the week after playing at the MCG. I think Goodwin made note of it after their loss to the Lions?

This happens to every fan base after a loss. They’ll be on top of the world again if we win.

I think you're seriously over rating Big Oscar - I'd honestly rather Fort just play as solo ruck this week.

Expecting another Gabba lighting failure then..?

 

[Carringbush2010]

I think you're seriously over rating Big Oscar - I'd honestly rather Fort just play as solo ruck this week.

Be it Oscar or Darcy, Bris will win the ruck battle, it's not up for debate. It's how we negate after the ruck contests that will decide the game.

Make no mistake, we're not just gonna roll up and win like it's fait accompli, this is a test.

 

[Viceregal]

I think it would be best if the Pies just showed up knowing that they will win and the Lions will fold without any effort on their part ... just trust in the footy gods and all will be well.

 

[PCORF]

Huge game for the Lions, but the Pies are on fire. I think Collingwood gets home, but only just.

 

[My Tilly]

I think you're seriously over rating Big Oscar - I'd honestly rather Fort just play as solo ruck this week.

He's a very clumsy and uncoordinated ruckman.
