Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Saturday 3rd July at 4:45pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 4, 2020: Brisbane 10.23 (83) def 7.4 (46) at the GABBA
Last five H2H: Adelaide 3 – Brisbane 2
Thommo Watch:
Brisbane
Lyons in game 150, Rich, Mr Zorko and supposedly Lachie Neale is playing (yeah, right!)Adelaide Laird, maybe Sloane and Keays if you want to be unique.
Match Preview: The Lions are just quietly going about their business, sitting comfortably in third place with 4 wins from their last 5 games. They pumped Geelong last week and will like their chances against the Crows in Adelaide this week. Obviously, Adelaide have managed some impressive wins in 2021, none more so than defeating the Demons, but they may have been a bit lucky to have caught Melbourne on the back of 9-straight victories.
Brisbane can be a bit shakey on the road but it’s hard to see them dropping this one.
Thommo’s Tip: Brisbane by 24 points (tipping record 23.5/42).
Is Neale a trade out with this calf niggle? Only 3 more rounds to go for leagues before finals start and at this rate Neale seems destined to play out the season hurt.
Looking forward to Jarrod Berry being a cheap option next year. Write this year off for him. Reckon we might have a genuine 95-105 player for sub $400k.
FINAL TEAMS:
Lachie Neale is OUT. Replaced by Rhys Mathieson.
Jackson Hately (ADEL) and Jaxon Prior (BRIS) the subs.

Brisbane update: “Neale suffered a slight calf injury at training on Wednesday… He is expected to be available for next week’s game against St Kilda.”
