The Collingwood Magpies concluded the regular season as the best team, but they were only ahead of their subsequent opponents by one win in what turned out to be a close race for the minor championship. The Collingwood Magpies were able to pick up a morale-boosting victory over the Melbourne Demons in the Qualifying Final by defeating them with a score of 60-53. The following week, in the preliminary final, they defeated the GWS Giants by a score of 58–57, which was one of the closest victories possible. The Collingwood Magpies will need to come up with a plan to fill the void Taylor Adams left after suffering a hamstring injury. Due to the fact that Daniel McStay is also unavailable, it appears like either Billy Frampton or Jack Ginnivan will receive the starting nod for the most important game of the year.
Brisbane Lions - Lions hoping to establish dominance once again over Magpies
The Brisbane Lions finished in second place on the Australian Football League ladder, four points behind the Collingwood Magpies. As a result, they were handed the unpleasant task of facing off against the Port Adelaide Power in the qualifying final. Despite this, they were able to earn a victory over their rivals by putting on one of the best performances of the season, which resulted in a score of 123-75. After that, a victory over the Carlton Blues in the preliminary final with a score of 79-63 came next. The Brisbane Lions are still awaiting word regarding Jack Payne and his ankle injury, and it is anticipated that they will receive it on Thursday. Following his great performance in the previous match, Darcy Gardiner might be an asset in easing any concerns. Despite falling on his shoulder during the preliminary round, Lachie Neale has been given the all-clear to play on Saturday. However, Jack Gunston and Daniel Rich may not be included in the lineup because the Lions may try to make as few adjustments as they can.
Expert Betting Tips
When the Brisbane Lions have faced off against the Collingwood Magpies in the past, they have had success, and there is every possibility that this trend will continue this time around. However, finals are very important, and it would be a terrible disappointment for the Magpies to blow this opportunity after what can only be described as an outstanding season. Consequently, despite the fact that I will not completely discount the Brisbane Lions because of what they bring to the table in this contest, I continue to believe that the home team has what it takes to emerge victorious in this encounter, which is expected to have a close conclusion.
