It has been brought to our attention that an individual has been canvassing for members’ proxy votes.

Concerned members have advised us that this individual has contacted them using details previously only available to the Brisbane Lions. As such we intend to raise these concerns with the AFL integrity unit over how this individual got access to these details.

As a supporter advocacy group, The Lion’s Roar is pleased that all members will have an opportunity to have a say in the future of their club at the EGM.

We further advise those members unable to attend the EGM in person to give careful consideration to who they nominate as a proxy. Granting it to the wrong person may have unintended consequences. For example, if your nominated proxy doesn’t attend the EGM your vote defaults back to the chairman. Further information on nominating proxies will be forwarded to all members in coming days, with plenty of time to lodge them prior to the EGM.
