“Everyone has seen the quality they have in Brisbane and we know that we will have to be much better than we last week.
“” The opportunity to play in front of 100,000 supporters at MCG, one of the most emblematic stadiums in the world, is what makes tours of lions unique and special. “”
We know that our Lions supporters will take behind the team on Saturday and create a fantastic atmosphere. “”
