the biggest rival for the lions is collingwood, both of these clubs have been involved in scrappy and brutal encounters. in the early 2000s they played in many monumental games including grand finals. having built up plenty of history in the relatively short existence as a merged club. pre-merger fitzroy was a neighbouring suburb to collingwood, with the boundary being based on smith street, along with the fact that fitzroy and collingwood topped the vfl/afl premiership tally during the early decades of the vfl competition. the brisbane bears also had a bit of history with the magpies as nathan buckley famously deflected to collingwood after one season on the bears list, citing that he wanted to win premierships, ironically retiring at the end of the 2007 season without a premiership as a player in the afl. the bears also lost their final regular season match in their final season to the magpies, costing the bears the minor premiership that season. however the rivalry between the lions and the magpies has been properly ignited post-merger, starting in late 1999 when collingwood played their last ever vfl/afl game at their spiritual home ground, victoria park with the lions emerging 42 point victors that day and consigning the magpies to their second wooden spoon, to the dissatisfaction of the collingwood supporters. the rivalry between the two clubs went to the next level as the clubs played off in two consecutive grand finals in 2002 and 2003, with the lions emerging victors on both occasions. these grand final results further fueled the bitterness that collingwood supporters and their president eddie mcguire still have towards the brisbane lions to this day, despite the lions having a poor decade on the field after their golden era. due to many collingwood supporters migrating up to queensland and many brisbane lions supporters residing in victoria (many of which were ex-fitzroy supporters), along with the on-field history between the two clubs, many lions supporters consider a brisbane lions v collingwood match-up to be their derby, despite the clubs being over 1700 km apart and the fact that there are many clubs in the competition that are geographically closer to each other.
