The Brisbane Lions are headed to Melbourne for the first time in 2017 next week for the JLT Community Series, and have plenty in store for our loyal Victorian-based members and supporters.
It’s the first time in three years that the Club has been scheduled a pre-season match in Melbourne, and the team will be staying down an extra night to get around as many of the Victorian faithful as possible.
