Brisbane fans have shown their support for the Welcome to Country ceremony, despite calls from former players to boycott the event.

The Gabba erupted in applause as the Welcome to Country was read out before the Lions' clash with Carlton on Saturday night.

It was a powerful moment of reconciliation, and it showed that the vast majority of AFL fans are behind the Welcome to Country.

The Welcome to Country is a traditional ceremony that acknowledges the traditional owners of the land where the game is being played.

It is a way of showing respect for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and it is an important part of the AFL's commitment to reconciliation.

However, some former players, including Eddie McGuire, have called for the Welcome to Country to be scrapped.

They argue that it is divisive and that it does not represent all Australians.

But the fans have spoken, and they have shown that they overwhelmingly support the Welcome to Country.

It is a powerful symbol of reconciliation, and it is something that the AFL should be proud of.
