PAGE 2 Forest and Brisbane Lions kick off partnership Forest Lions under 11s player, Jarrod Hyles, was recently on hand at the Gabba when our club formalised a partnership with the Brisbane Lions AFL club. Our club will now be part of the Brisbane Lions “adopt a club” program. This program, a first for Brisbane outside of their home state, will give the club coaching, sponsorship and fundraising benefits. The Forest Lions have also been given an “adopted player”, full back and vice captain, Daniel Merrett. “we really feel the Forest Lions are now in a great position to grow and prosper in the Forest area” One Day in September Jarrod Hyles meets Daniel Merritt earlier this year If you love the AFL Grand Final but find it a bit quiet watching it alone don't panic! “We really feel that the Forest Lions are now in a great position to grow and prosper in the Forest area due to the expertise that With a new large screen Brisbane can share with us.

This partnership between the multi premiership winning Brisbane Lions and Forest comes on the 40th anniversary of the Belrose based club’s formation. The two clubs are working on a number of initiatives in the anniversary year and into 2010, such as changing Forest’s playing uniform to that of the Brisbane Lions and a meeting later in the year for all the Forest players to meet the Brisbane team. The Forest Lions are also playing an instrumental role in the formation of a Brisbane Li- ons supporter group in NSW, with help of a one- eyed Brisbane supporter from St Ives, Mike Wilson.

  • US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book
    US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book The First Ten Years of Australian Rules Football in America. “For the good of the game, for the love of the game” USFOOTY United States Australian Football League A REAL USFOOTY THANKS TO President’s Report “If you dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney Over ten years ago a group of ten Australians and Americans met in a barn in Indiana over a beer or two and dreamed about starting an Australian Rules Football League in the USA. From this gathering and the hard work of many, the USAFL celebrates its tenth year of operation. A dream became a reality and a game born in Australia is quickly establishing itself as a strong minor sport in the land of professional sport. Our tenth National Championships are being played in the city where the first game was played - Louisville, Kentucky. Our Championships have grown over the years from a small gathering of clubs to a significant number that produce economic benefits to the host club and city, but more importantly the gathering of teams is a chance to celebrate football and the league on an annual basis. If you haven’t been to the USAFL Championships you are missing a great celebration of grass roots sport. At these Championships we will celebrate those players, coaches, umpires and officials who have been integral to the success of the USAFL. We will remember past matches and past Championships. The stories will be told of those fantastic road trips and the characters that make being part of a football team one of the great experiences of life.

The Lions have only beaten Geelong once in their past 10 attempts, with that sole victory coming last year following a spectacular mark and goal from ex-Cat Lincoln McCarthy in the dying stages of the match. Geelong won the clash between the two sides earlier this year by 27 points at Metricon Stadium. Preliminary Flashback Coincidentally, the Brisbane Lions’ last Preliminary Final (16 years ago) was also against Geelong.
