Fortress Under Siege – Brisbane v Carlton Prelim Preview

All season, Brisbane have been a colossus at the Gabba. With Harris Andrews, the 2023 Mongrel Punt Defensive Player of Year, holding the defence together, the Lions have turned away every challenger.

They have just one more set of invaders to turn away before they prepare their assault on the MCG on Grand Final Day. And the Blues are ready to give it all to ensure they don’t get that far.

Carlton and Brisbane have only locked horns once this season, with the Lions prevailing by 26 points on the road, but with no tomorrows for the losing team, this is going to be as tough and intense as modern footy gets.

It’s Saturday twilight for a place in the Grand Final, and your old pal, HB has the Mongrel Preview in the form of Seven Big Questions.

Oh, what the hell? A Mongrel paywall? Yep, I believe my work is worth twenty cents per day. If you don’t, that’s fine, but these big reviews are now for members and will go into our Premiers e-book… assuming one of these two teams wins it, right? You’re welcome to join/rejoin to read immediately
