The Brisbane Lions have cleared up Mitch Robinson’s claim he was denied entry to his old club’s dressing rooms on Saturday night.
Robinson, celebrated for his reputation as an old-fashioned “hard nut” footballer, has since deleted his comments on social media as his former club clarified the situation.
Brisbane has communicated that Robinson was denied entry by Gabba security staff because he did not have the required accreditation to access the club’s inner sanctum.
According to the football club, Robinson was issued an accreditation pass by a member of the footy department when it became known he had not been let through.

Robinson is understood to have turned down the offer when a group of friends he was with was denied entry.
Robinson, who played for both Carlton and Brisbane before hanging the boots up in 2022, was there to watch his two clubs do battle at the Gabba.
He watched on as the Lions blew the Blues off the park, running away with a 28-point victory after the home side had led 60-0 in the second quarter.
