Brisbane Lions Confirm Finals โขWeek โ3 Squad, Monitor Lachieโ Neale‘s Unlikelyโ Return
Brisbane has named its squadโข for โthe upcoming Preliminary Final against Collingwood, โwith minimal changes expected โขfrom their qualifying final win. Despite being initially ruled out for the season with a calf injury, dual Brownlow Medalist Lachieโข Neale remains a remote possibility for selection should the Lions advanceโ to the Grand Final.
The Lions appear set to deploy โa two-ruck combination of Darcyโค fort and Oscar McInerney, aโ strategyโ that proved effective โฃagainst Gold Coast.This likely means Samโค Dayโ will missโค a second consecutive week. Ty gallop is expected to retain his place in theโ forward line after a strong โperformance โagainst the โฃSuns. A potential โคtactical switch sees first-year draftee Sam Marshall and Bruce Reville possibly swapping โขroles, with โฃReville subbed on for Marshall in the final quarter of the previous โขmatch.
Brisbaneโข Lions โSquad:
J.Fletcher, S.Marshall,โข O.McInerney,โ B.Reville (sub)
Emergency: S.Day, J.Tunstill, D.Joyce.
