QLD vs NSW it doesn’t get much bigger than this!

As it has felt every week for the last six weeks, there is once again a lot on the line. How does this affect the top four, eight, let alone the rest of the season for either side... it's anyones guess. 

Well Lions fans, it's time to put it all under the microscope as we take a look into this week’s match preview.  

Last Time We Met

Last time: Brisbane 13.19 (97) d Sydney 12.9 (81) Round 14, 2023

Yes, the last time we technically played the Swans was a preseason match in Blacktown that featured everything from a stadium blackout to red belly black snakes wriggling onto the field (yes you read that right). However, when it was for premiership points it was a gritty win under Friday night lights at the Gabba to snap a two-game losing streak.

Zac Bailey was lively, kicking 2.3 from his 26 disposals adding zip to a match often played in tight congestion. Lachie Neale (29), Josh Dunkley (28) and Will Ashcroft (23) were busy as our midfield fought hard against a never-say-die Swan brigade.

Also, who could forget, Jaspa Fletcher made his AFL debut kicking a memorable first goal that he and the Gabba crowd won’t soon forget. This Sunday two very different sides go head-to-head in a match-up that is shaping to be one of the games of the season. Like every other game this round, this game particularly will have great implications in shaping a congested top eight.

Excited About

Back at the GABBA!

As they say, there is no place like home and after a big trip to Perth, we can’t wait to entertain Lions members and fans as we return to a SOLD OUT Gabba!

The Swans have been the team everyone is chasing in season 2024 but our boys are ready for a proper state of origin clash with our cousin to the south.

It’s going to be a tough contest no doubt, but we know Lions fans will bring the noise with their best Liiiiiiiiioooooooooooonnnsssss chant to get behind the boys as they look to notch up another win.

Match-ups we're keen for

Lachie Neale vs Chad Warner

This might not be the only time these two go head-to head against one another this season. Both men are Brownlow fancies in what is shaping to be one of the closest counts on footy’s night of nights.

Nevertheless, until that night we get to see these two battle it out on Sunday afternoon at the Gabba. Lachie Neale has been in scintillating form averaging 29.9 disposals, 7.3 clearances and 6.8 score involvements. Neale was dominant in the Lions' 13-point win over West Coast last Sunday and polled a maximum 10 coaches votes in round 18.

Meanwhile, Chad Warner has posted equally impressive figures averaging 24.3 disposals, 3.9 clearances, and 8.2 score involvements.

You’ll want to grab the popcorn for this battle!
