Pauga returns for Qualifying Final showdown

The Brisbane Lions have made one change to their side travelling to Norward Oval to take on the Adelaide Crows in Saturday’s first Qualifying Final.

The Brisbane Lions have made one change to their side travelling to Norwood Oval to take on the Adelaide Crows in Saturday’s first Qualifying Final.

Due to Dee Heslop’s three-match suspension being upheld at the tribunal, the defender will not be available to play against the Crows.

This opens the door for small forward Mikayla Pauga to come into the side and play her fifth game for the season.

Known for her forward pressure, Pauga will add another layer to Lions AFLW senior coach, Craig Starcevich's attacking mix.

The Lions take on the Crows with the first bounce at 2:35pm local time.

You can catch all the action live on Fox Footy and Kayo or follow the Lions social channels.
