Brisbane Lions Unchanged Heading Into AFL Grand Final
Brisbane Lions Back Same Team That Saw Them Through Prelim
The Brisbane Lions will head into Saturday's AFL Grand Final against Collingwood unchanged, with the club opting to back the same team that saw them through their preliminary final victory over Geelong.
Defender Jack Payne has been left out of the starting 22, with the Lions opting to continue with the same backline that has served them so well this season.
The Lions will be looking to win their first premiership since 2003, while Collingwood will be aiming to break their own premiership drought, which dates back to 2010.
The match is set to be a close contest, with both teams in excellent form heading into the decider.

Bre Koenen: A Brisbane Lions Legend
Bre Koenen is a Brisbane Lions premiership captain, two-time premiership player, 2023 Grand Final best on ground, and 2022 All-Australian.
She is one of the most decorated players in the AFLW, and her leadership and skill will be crucial to the Lions' chances of success in the Grand Final.
Lions Duo Struggles in Grand Final
Hugh McCluggage and Joe Daniher stepped up for the Lions in their preliminary final victory over Geelong, but Jarrod Berry and Eric Hipwood struggled.
Berry was well held by Geelong's midfield, while Hipwood was unable to have an impact on the game.
The Lions will need these two players to perform at their best if they are to win the Grand Final.
