As we continue to build up to the big dance on Saturday.
As team selection looks to settle, we've looked to combine the predicted sides for the weekend. What exactly would that look like? Who makes it in the combined best 23? Who doesn't?
All is revealed with our combined best 23-man team for this weekend's Grand Final.
2. Midfielders
C: Josh Daicos (Coll), Jordan De Goey (Coll), Hugh McCluggage (BL)
Josh Daicos' efforts on the wing have been superior. The ball just seems to end up in his hands and his delivery inside 50 is essentially on a plate for his forwards. With the same being said for De Goey, some might argue his impact on the scoreboard makes him even better. As a centre with scoring talent, De Goey easily earns his spot. McCluggage is another excellent ball user, more often than not being one of the first players to receive the ball from the contest and hit up a target inside 50. Compliments well alongside Daicos and De Goey.
FOLL: Oscar McInerney (BL), Lachie Neale (BL), Josh Dunkley (BL)
In all Brisbane followers group was selected to honour the large amount of contested possessions these three rack up. McInerney appears in this side with dominance over Cameron and Cox in terms of ruck craft and impact around the ground. McInerney's ability to punch the ball 30 metres from the ruck contests creates the chaotic ball that the Lions love. Neale leads the league in clearances, is second in contested ball and with 75% disposal efficiency claims his spot without doubt alongside his new teammate Dunkley, who has provided the Lions with assistance both in an attacking and defensive sense.
