Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Preview

Geelong take on the Brisbane Lions for a spot in the AFL Grand Final. The Cats head in as slight favourites for the 5:15pm Saturday clash at the MCG.

The Cats were impressive in the first week of the AFL Finals Series, smashing Port Adelaide by 84 points at the Adelaide Oval and have had the benefit of the week off.

After just missing out on a top four start, Brisbane have had to do it the hard way but have been able to claim their two finals so far, defeating Carlton by 29 points before coming from behind to knock over GWS by five points in the Semi Final last weekend.

Both sides are no strangers to the September action in recent seasons with Geelong taking out the premiership in 2022, while Brisbane were runners-up to Collingwood in 2023.

The Lions boast plenty of big names and Lachie Neale, Hugh McCluggage and Will Ashcroft shape as key player in the middle, while Joe Daniher will look to finish off further up the ground. Daniher kicked a couple of clutch goals late last week to sink the Giants.

Geelong are more even around the ground and have plenty of options up forward with Jeremy Cameron and Tyson Stengle coming off four goals apiece in the Qualifying Final, while their evergreen midfielder, Patrick Dangerfield comes in with some good form.

I suspect this one will go right down to the wire and a lot will depend as to whether or not the Lions can kick straight. They have been wayward in front of goal this season, which cost them dearly the only time the two sides met this season, which resulted in a 26-point win to the Cats at the GABBA. With the week off, Geelong are in the box seat but the Lions have the ghosts of 2023 to address and that hunger might just be enough to sneak through to another decider a week later.
