It’s a top four showdown between Brisbane and Melbourne as the Lions look to shake their MCG hoodoo. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm (AEST).
The Lions have struggled in recent times at the grand final venue, winning just one game under Chris Fagan – however, that was against the Demons in a massive upset in last year’s semi-final.
The Dees have dropped a bombshell at the selection table, dropping boom recruit Brodie Grundy to allow captain Max Gawn to ruck solo. The Lions, meanwhile, welcome back first-choice pair Jarrod Berry and Lincoln McCarthy.

If Brisbane lose to Geelong, their games against Collingwood in Melbourne and the Dockers in Perth could put them in danger of missing the four; and if Geelong won all of their remaining games, they could end up in the top 4. I would much rather play Brisbane in Melbourne than Geelong.

I penciled that in as Geelong’s only loss on the home run.

Certainly finished in his chest. Not a mark either way.

Sounds a bit like the coversation in The Games between John Clarke and Mr. Wilson, the man who built the 100m (94m) track for the Sydney Olympics. “Is a metre a slightly different concept, is it in 100m as against 200m? Well I don’t understand, Mr. Wilson, quite why in the construction of a 100m track you would want to depart too radically from the constraints laid down for us by the conventional calibration of distance.”
