The list of AFL clubs publicly endorsing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament continues to grow.
Last week, the league's board backed the proposal ahead of a national vote, following a handful of clubs taking a stance.
The announcement came after a meeting leading up to the first week of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Although rivals off the field, clubs are hand in hand on an important decision being put in front of the public.
This week, Brisbane, Walyalup (Fremantle), Adelaide and the Gold Coast Suns followed suit.
On Wednesday, the Lions recognised and acknowledged "the invaluable contributions made by our First Peoples to our Club and to our great game," in taking a position.
On their way, Brisbane conducted a volunteer survey assessing the thoughts of players, staff and board.
"The results showed significant support for it and as such, the Brisbane Lions Board, led by the views of the majority of our people, supports the First Peoples Voice to Parliament," the Lions said in a statement.
"We strongly believe that Australian rules football is a powerful platform for promoting positive societal change. Walking alongside our community, we commit to listening, learning and working together to create a Club that respects and welcomes everyone, from our First Peoples to our newest Australians."
Walyalup's board agreed the Voice will provide "appropriate representation to Parliament and be a step in the right direction towards a more reconciled Australia".
Since entering the competition in 1995, the Dockers have the highest number of games played by Indigenous players - a point of reflection for the club.
"The continuous and ongoing connection our Club has with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives since inception allows us to keep learning, recognising, and celebrating First Nations culture, and has shaped our Club for the better," the Dockers said.
On Friday the Crows announced their support following a canvassing of opinion within their four walls - consulting Indigenous players and staff along with their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Committee.
"The Club has also created an environment where its players, coaches, staff and administrators can have open and informed discussions on all matters of significance.
Each club expressed their acknowledgement for differing views, as well as the Suns, who in turn said the Voice However, is an "important issue for our Indigenous players and staff and so, it is an important issue for our football club".
"As a club we embrace our community, and are constantly seeking to better understand different cultures, their histories, and their people," a Gold Coast statement read.
"The Gold Coast Suns believe the Voice to Parliament is an opportunity to advance reconciliation and that First Nations people should be recognised in the Australian Constitution.
"The Voice to Parliament is a step towards reconciliation for our First Nations people, but we understand it should not be the only step.
"We have an ongoing responsibility to recognise the history of our nation, to gain greater understanding of indigenous culture, and to move forward into a more reconciled and prosperous future."

The messaging from clubs follows AFL general manager of inclusion and social policy Tanya Hosch extending a memo to all 18 clubs encouraging each return a stance on the Voice.
On Friday, more than 20 sporting organisations from across Australia including the AFL, united to express their support for a 'Yes' vote.
