Brisbane captain Dayne Beams had to be withdrawn late from the Lions’ clash with Port Adelaide today due to illness, much to the chagrin of the cheer squad who build the banners.

Today was supposed to be Beams’ 150th game, and the Lions had paid tribute to him on the banner.

Unfortunately the late out meant a big scramble to get everything fixed in the Adelaide Oval carpark:

Somehow the Lions did manage to engineer a clip at Collingwood for their own banner issues last night:

The banner instead paid tribute to Nick Robertson for his 50th game:

Brisbane trail 4.0 (24) to 4.6 (30) at quarter time of the clash.
