Two months ago, the men began their premiership challenge from third on the ladder. Now, the Lions women prepare to do exactly the same, with a strong - if inaccurate - win over Collingwood setting up a qualifying final clash against the Demons, with hopes of a November that ends with just as much joy as September did.

It’s the ninth time in ten seasons that the Lions women have made the finals, hunting a fourth-straight grand final and a third premiership. Today on the Roar Deal, we’ll preview the massive clash against Melbourne, with the path to completing the year of dreams for Brisbane sporting teams now paved in front of us.

Also this week:

-Some more Irish blood with Gaelic star Ben Murphy joining the Lions

-A big departure with Andrew Crowell leaving the club

-We talk about Charlie Cameron, Darcy Gardiner and Harris Andrews as our 2025 Premiership team rundown continues

And much more!
