On afl.com.au, Michael Whiting has given his Brisbane Lions wish list the 2016 AFL Fixture:

One of the Lions' most important requests with the fixture is to play six matches in Melbourne.

Since Fitzroy merged with the Brisbane Bears, the Lions have been adamant on keeping strong ties in Melbourne, and the more matches there the better as far as they're concerned.

The Lions have also pushed hard to play premiers Hawthorn at the Gabba - something that hasn't happened since 2008.

They are also keen for a repeat of the 2015 home match against Collingwood, with James Aish's move to the Magpies sure to add some extra spice.

The full 2016 AFL fixture is out tomorrow, stay tuned on lions.com.au for the release.
