Senior coach Chris Fagan and the match committee have backed the same team that defeated Adelaide in last week’s Semi Final to again get the job done.

Premiership defender Noah Answerth was giving his all to overcome an ankle injury to be fit to play, though unfortunately was unable to.

The Lions have named its starting five-man interchange as Sam Draper, Jaspa Fletcher, Hugh McCluggage, Levi Ashcroft and Conor McKenna.

With Lincoln McCarthy, Cody Curtin and Bruce Reville as its emergencies.

Saturday’s Preliminary Final is a twilight match scheduled to start at 5:15pm and will be broadcast live on Seven, Fox Footy and Kayo.
