Melbourne is seeking grand final redemption after last season’s heartbreak, but faces an enormous task in toppling an imposing Brisbane Lions side seeking its second flag in three seasons.
The Lions have barely put a foot wrong all season, losing just one match en route to the decider.
Melbourne has loomed as the main challenger to the Lions for virtually the whole campaign, also losing just one match and finishing the season just 0.3 per cent behind on the ladder.
Furphy has made the commitment to provide equal support to its AFL and AFLW teams. Don’t support the AFLW? Unbelievable.
This match gets underway at 2:40pm AEDT from Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield, QLD.
Watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504) from 2pm AEDT.
