After beating Fremantle on Saturday, Brisbane sits at second place, with
A victory in Friday night's game against third-placed Melbourne at Casey Fields would go a long way towards another Grand Final appearance.
Lions CEO Greg Swann confirmed on Tuesday that if the Lions finish on top of the NAB AFL Women's Championship table, fans can rest assured knowing the Grand Final will be played at the Gabba.
"We've had conversations with the Gabba, which we did before the season started, but we had confirmation last week that if we were lucky enough to finish on top, the game would be at the Gabba," Swann said.
"We've overcome that problem from last year.
The Lions finished first last season but were forced to 'host' the decider at Gold Coast's Metricon Stadium after the Gabba was deemed unfit for play following an Adele concert.
Adelaide won the Grand Final in front of more than 15,000 spectators.
"It's going to be hard, the Bulldogs are sitting pretty on top, but
"Our record away from home is phenomenal, we haven't lost a game away from home (in either season), the travel doesn't bother our girls," Swann said.
"We hope we can win this week and almost put that to bed (a Grand Final spot)."
Swann was speaking at Watson Road State School, on Brisbane's southside, about the Lions' involvement in a 'Breakfast Club' program with the school.
More than half of its 129 students speak a language other than English at home and 80 percent of the students turn up to school each day without having breakfast.
Eleven men's players and three women's players were on-hand to provide breakfasts – something the club has been doing for a year.
"The players live in a bit of a bubble, so it's great for them to come out and see what the real world's like," Swann said.
"Teachers do a fantastic job and our guys get paid to kick a football around, so it’s a bit of a dose of reality for them. They really enjoy it."
