THE BRISBANE Lions administration remains closed, but the players are training as usual.
The Gabba-based offices are shut as a result of Queensland's fatal floods, with the club unable to say when they will reopen.
But the Coorparoo training venue is largely unaffected by the devastation, and after close monitoring by the club's football department, has been declared good to go.
The club had talked to the AFL about moving its entire training operation to the north of the state if it found itself unable to train in Brisbane.
The Lions have contacted all players and football staff to determine their availability and the immediate flood threat at their homes, and all those who are able to safely access Giffin Park will be in attendance at Thursday morning's training session.
The club has also opened discussions with the AFL to determine the best and most appropriate way it can assist in the clean-up and recovery efforts in the flood-affected regions of Queensland.
League football operations manager Adrian Anderson said earlier in the week that the welfare of staff and players was the primary concern, and the AFL was doing everything it could to assist the club.
"Our thoughts are with everyone in Queensland who has been affected by the floods," he said.
"Obviously the situation has dramatically worsened over the past 24 hours and we offer our condolences to those who have been most severely impacted."
The AFL and its 18 clubs had combined to contribute $500,000 to the Queensland Government's flood relief appeal.
