The Brisbane Lions will receive a big boost to their squad named ahead of Friday night’s preliminary final against Geelong at the MCG.

Big O and Joe have been named in the starting 22 after missing last week; Oscar McInerney under AFL Concussion Protocols and Joe Daniher to welcome the birth of his first child.

It’s a full strength side for the Lions, which sees young guns Darcy Wilmot and Deven Robertson retain their spots after solid back-to-back finals performances.

After stepping up into senior duties last week, Darcy Fort has been named as an emergency, alongside Jaxon Prior, Ryan Lester and Rhys Mathieson. One will be named as tomorrow night’s medi sub.
