The last-placed Brisbane Lions meet the rising Western Bulldogs at the Gabba to conclude their 2015 season. Join The Roar from 1:30pm (AEST) for live scores and coverage.
The Lions will finish at the bottom of the table, having struggled to get off the ground and show their claws throughout the 2015 season.
The Queensland-based club hold a win-loss record of 3-18 and will be glad to see their season over.
Some Lions players want to leave Brisbane, however the majority of the squad will likely stay on and need to show some hunger this afternoon.
Meanwhile, if results go the Bulldogs’ way, they can make the qualifying finals and have a double chance if they lose, or a home final in week three with a win.
In their past five matches, the Lions have won three with the Bulldogs taking two. The Bulldogs were however most recent winners, when in Round 12 they thrashed the Lions 22.14 (146) – 11.8 (74).
The Bulldogs are coming off a win over the Kangaroos 14.12 (96) – 10.13 (73), while the Lions last week lost to the Hawks 9.8 (62) – 21.8 (134)

Footscray will score an impressive win over Fitzroy to secure a home final.
