The Lions' eight-point win over the Magpies proves costly on the injury front, with the All-Australian defender now in a race against time to return to full fitness for the finals.
The Brisbane Lions have ended their six-year losing streak against Collingwood but the eight-point victory was soured by a hamstring injury to All-Australian defender Harris Andrews.Harris Andrews left the field in the third quarter and will be in a race against time to prove his fitness for the finals
Andrews is arguably the Lions' most important player, given his ability to take intercept marks and then slingshot his side forward.The Lions were able to hang on without Andrews on Friday night after their 26-point lead in the third term whittled down as the Magpies kicked the last three goals of the match.
Jarrod Berry and Jarryd Lyons made the early running for the Lions, who overcame some kicking yips to drill four straight majors among a five-goal second term to set up the win.
