The 2011 AFL season will be the Brisbane Lions' 15th season in the Australian Football League since the merger.
The Brisbane Lions lost their first home game of the season for the first time in thirteen years.
Justin Sherman played against his former club for the first time.
The Lions lost their first three matches of the season for the first time since 1998, the year they last won the wooden spoon.
The Lions recorded the worst start to a season since 1998. After North Melbourne won earlier against Port Adelaide, Brisbane is the only team winless.
This was the inaugural clash between the Gold Coast Suns and the Brisbane Lions, also known as the Queensland Clash. Jared Brennan and Michael Rischitelli played against their former club for the first time.
This match saw Michael Voss and James Hird go head-to-head for the first time as AFL coaches, almost ten years since they captained their respective sides in the 2001 AFL Grand Final. Essendon won at the Gabba for the first time since Round 8, 2000, snapping a six-match losing streak at the venue.
The Lions won their first match for 2011. They won their first match at home since Round 10, 2010 and the crowd of 18,404 was the lowest crowd for a Brisbane Lions home game at The Gabba since Round 10, 1999.
