The Brisbane Lions' last home game is shaping as the year's biggest match at the Gabba.
After announcing his retirement on Tuesday, will rugged defender Chris Scott make his farewell appearance with the seniors on home soil after 14 years and 214 games with the club?
Can Jonathan Brown on 70 goals stay ahead of Fremantle's Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle v Port Adelaide, AAMI Stadium - on the same Saturday night) on 68 goals to be the merged club's first ever Coleman Medallist?
Can the 2007 Lions defeat runaway favourites the Geelong Cats and miraculously break into the final eight in this major last round clash?
Be part of one of the biggest home crowds of the year and see these questions answered LIVE at the Gabba this Saturday night. And keep track of the Brown-Pavlich goal-scoring shootout for the Coleman Medal on the big screen during the game.
Geelong Captain Tom Harley said this week that his boys can withstand any hostile crowd the Gabba can throw at them, so let's give the Cats a pre-finals shakedown.
Arrive early to watch the reserves team the Suncoast Lions battle out an Elimination Final against Labrador as the curtain-raiser from 3pm. It could be a 'double demolition' on both visiting teams to the Gabba-toir this Saturday.
