The Lions overcame an early Blues onslaught to win their way into the AFL grand final with a 16-point victory at the Gabba
11.13 to 9.9 win sets up decider against CollingwoodTheroped in a fast-starting Carlton to register a 16-point win that books an AFL grand final berth against Collingwood. The Blues kicked the preliminary final’s first five goals to shock the Gabba faithful in the first quarter but managed just four more in a 11.13 to 9.9 Lions win on Saturday.
There were ominous signs for Brisbane early when Berry picked out Callum Ah Chee in front of goals, only to cop the club’s first free kick for running too far all season. Matthew Cottrell ran into an open goal at the other end, the first of five straight Blues majors to light up the huge travelling army that headed north for the clash.
