LIVE AFL: Cats keen to kick prelim curse as Lions return to scene of triumph

Geelong will be looking to bury their recent preliminary final curse and book their place in the 2022 Grand Final with victory over Brisbane at the MCG.

The minor premiers (18-4, 144.2%) have proven to be September constants, making 16 of the past 17 finals series. But they’ve fallen down at the preliminary final in four of their past six campaigns.

Brisbane (15-7, 119.3%) are also looking to banish a recent run of finals failure by making their first grand final since 2004.

Preliminary Final

The Lions have been a top two contender the past three seasons, but fallen down before making the biggest game in AFL.

Geelong head into the preliminary final with an unchanged line up from the qualifying final, after star Jeremy Cameron proved himself fit.

The Lions made two changes with Joe Daniher returning from personal leave and Oscar McInerney clearing concussion protocols.

The duo who replaced them for the semi final win over Melbourne, Tom Fullerton and Darcy Fort are the omissions.

Lion Jarrod Berry will take his place in the side after beating his one-match ban for making unnecessary contact with opponent Clayton Oliver’s eyes at the Tribunal.

This match gets underway at 7.50pm AEST from the MCG.

Watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504) from 7pm AEST.
