- Woman wants to marry AFL star Brandon Starcevich
- Defender is on the books of the Brisbane Lions
- Handwritten marriage proposal was a talking point
- Didn’t inspire the Lions, beaten by 11 points at home
One thirsty footy fan made her romantic intentions crystal clear when attending Saturday’s clash against GWS at the Gabba.
The woman in question also roped in her daughter to get the attention of star Brisbane Lions defender Brandon Starcevich – who she wants to marry.
‘I don’t want your boots….I want your last name,’ read the single mother’s cringeworthy handwritten proposal.
‘I need a step dad….marry my mum,’ a separate message from the young girl read.
The Lions’ social media team saw the funny side of the bold proposal, posting it on their official Facebook page pre-game.
‘Your move Starce,’ was the accompanying message – and it also didn’t long for footy fans to weigh in on the woman’s quest for romance.

‘Don’t ask, don’t get,’ said one.
‘HAHAHAHA honestly I appreciate the hustle,’ posted a second.
‘This is atrocious,’ a third bluntly stated.
On the field, the Giants showed they are genuine premiership contender following a hard-fought 11 point win.
Spearheads Aaron Cadman and Jesse Hogan booted a combined 11 goals, with the hosts once again wasteful in front of goal.
Their mood was further soured when Lions defender Jack Payne picked up a serious left knee injury after landing awkwardly in a marking contest.
Play was halted for more than 10 minutes while Payne was assisted from the field.
The club suspects the 25-year-old has suffered a ruptured patellar tendon, with scans to determine his fate.
