A bumper Round 23 begins with Brisbane squaring off against Melbourne in one of the most important matches in home-and-away history. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 7:50pm (AEST).
The winner at the Gabba will seal a top-four spot for the finals, while the loser will have to pray both Collingwood and Fremantle lose to avoid giving up the double chance.
The Lions have only lost two of their last 20 games at their home ground – but they’ve both been finals, and with this match a September preview, will their famous big-game jitters come back to bite?
