From afl.com.au, by Paul McGough:
"The Lions? best form remains good enough to beat any team but it is interesting to note Leigh Matthews? team has never won a preliminary final away from Brisbane ? losing in Melbourne to the Kangaroos in 1996 and 1999.
In its past two premiership years the Lions played its preliminary finals at the Gabba ? beating Richmond and then Port ? and on both occasions it had also enjoyed the week?s rest, a luxury it does not have this time. "
