AFL: Michael Voss is set to face a selection dilemma ahead of his side's elimination final against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.
For the second straight year, Brisbane hosts Carlton at the Gabba with both sides’ seasons on the line, this time in an elimination final .
The Lions recovered from an 0-3 start to dominate the AFL after the bye, winning nine straight games before a couple of late stumbles, still earning a home final. They beat the Blues at this venue in last year’s preliminary final. But the Blues are hoping to repeat their stunning Opening Round upset, where they came back from 46 points down to beat last year’s Grand Finalists. They have six players back from injury this week after backing into the finals despite a Round 24 loss.Tonight’s winner will travel to Sydney to face either the Swans or the Giants in the First Semi Final next Saturday night.The First Elimination Final gets underway at 7:30pm AEST from the Gabba.
It’s a conservative approach with De Koning in his first game since Round 19 following a foot injury.
