It’s do or die for the Brisbane Lions VFL side when they face Carlton on Saturday in the Smithy’s VFL Semi Final at the Moreton Bay Sports Complex. 

Off the back of tough loss to Southport in last weekend’s Qualifying Final, the Brisbane Lions VFL will need to put together a strong performance against Carlton if they want to keep their season alive.  

Three changes have been made to the side ahead of Saturday’s elimination final, with experienced midfielder Jarryd Lyons headlining the inclusions.

Overcoming groin soreness, Lyons, alongside veteran defender Ryan Lester will bring a boost of maturity and experience to a young VFL side.  

Darcy Fort is a late out after Senior Coach Chris Fagan confirmed that the ruckman would be needed in next week’s Semi Final, after Oscar McInerney was subbed out early in the game with a concussion. 

Development player Wilson Barry has also been named in the side to face Carlton. 

The last time these two sides met was in Round 1, Carlton walked away with a 42-point victory over the Lions at IKON Park.  

The Brisbane Lions will face Carlton at the Moreton Bay Sports Complex at 12:05PM on Saturday.
