The Brisbane Lions will host Adelaide at Metricon Stadium in a QLD v SA double header, which will be streamed exclusively on Kayo.

Each team will participate in one pre-season practice match scheduled by the AFL. These match-ups are listed below and will see teams decide on the format of each game including number of players, number of quarters and quarter length.

AFL Head of Broadcasting and Scheduling Marcus King said these practice matches play an important role for both AFL Clubs and supporters.

“Our two objectives for pre-season practice matches are to give clubs the best opportunity to prepare ahead of the AAMI Community Series and to take matches to supporters in local and regional communities where possible.
 
“The practice matches will see football played at local grounds right across the country and we are really looking forward to connecting the elite men’s game to regional footy grounds – including Lavington Oval in Albury and Morwell Recreation Reserve – allowing fans to be able to watch their teams in action in their own backyard.”

Last time the Lions met the Crows, Jarryd Lyons dominated against his old club with 31 disposals, while live-wire Lincoln McCarthy kicked 4 goals from 16 touches in a near best-on-ground performance. 

The Lions will then head to Melbourne the following week to take on the Western Bulldogs in the AAMI Community Series.
