It’s one of the biggest games of the season but not for the reason everyone expected as Collingwood and Brisbane, last year’s Grand Finalists, square off while winless to begin Round 3.
The Lions (0-2, 86.6%) are coming off the bye after a disappointing start to the year, losing in the west to Fremantle and coughing up a 46-point lead against Carlton in Opening Round, which was their first defeat at the Gabba in 18 months.
The Magpies (0-3, 74.2%) are trying to avoid becoming the second reigning premier in V/AFL history to sit 0-4. Only the Collingwood side of 1959 has done it before, though notably, that team recovered to play finals.
