Brisbane Lions vs Sydney Swans Preview
Brisbane’s ascent to the top four marks a significant turnaround, making this clash against Sydney effectively a Qualifying Final. The Lions secured a hard-fought win in Perth and will look to leverage their home advantage at the Gabba, where Sydney hasn’t won since 2021.
The Swans, fresh from a bounce-back win against North Melbourne, need a strong performance to prove they remain a tier above. Brisbane’s midfield, led by Brownlow contender Lachie Neale and Hugh McCluggage, offers consistent dominance, and their forward line has been prolific with multiple goal scorers.
Sydney’s defensive transition has been shaky, and the Lions will aim to exploit this. While Sydney’s last meeting with Brisbane in 2023 was closely contested, the Swans’ best form should see them edge out the Lions in a crucial fixture.
