Brisbane Lions v Geelong Cats; AFL 2021 round 15 match preview and team lists

Brisbane Lions v Geelong Cats, AFL 2021 round 15 match preview and team lists, Gabba, Thursday 24 June 2021 19:30 AEST
Ben Jensen QUINTON NARKLE has been omitted from Geelong’s side to play the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba tonight, replaced by Lachie Henderson who he came in for as a late change last week. Also missing is Mitch Duncan who injured his knee in the first ten minutes or so last week and faces an extended stint on the sidelines. Shaun Higgins who was supposed to be out ‘managed’ last week but played almost all of the game as Duncan’s sub retains his spot. The Lions have one inclusion and a handy one at that, Dayne Zorko, in place of the omitted Rhys Mathieson, and Tom Berry last week’s medical sub will also miss.
