Brisbane coach Craig Starcevich won't put any expectations on star midfielder Ally Anderson to set more records in the huge round three clash with Collingwood.

But by the same token, Starcevich wouldn't be at all surprised if his outstanding ball-winner does find another level in Friday night's contest at Brighton Homes Arena.

"Ally continues to get better physically, technically and tactically," Starcevich said.

"She's adding layers to her game that haven't been there in the past and there's no ceiling to what she can achieve.

"She's right in the prime of her footy life right now and last week was pretty phenomenal."

Anderson set a competition record for most disposals in a match (43) in the Lions' hard-fought win over Melbourne in round two.

It helped put Brisbane's (1-1) premiership defence back on track ahead of an important home date with the winless Magpies (0-2).

"They'll be desperate to get a result, that's for sure," Starcevich said about Collingwood.

"They're a dangerous team around the middle of the ground and if they can hold the ball forward for long enough they'll make life hard for you, which we found out last year.

"It's going to be an almighty challenge."

Brisbane has left out experienced utility Kate Lutkins for round three, handing Academy product Sophie Peters her debut.
