Brisbane Lions v Essendon
Saturday 17 March 2012 @ 3:30pm (local time) - NB: 2:30pm (QLD time)
Visy Park, Carlton

With West Coast and Adelaide earning the right to contest the 2012 NAB Cup Grand Final, there will be nothing up for grabs in the Lions' final pre-season practice match except for valuable match practice.

After the preliminary NAB Cup rounds, the Lions placed 8th with two wins from four matches, while this week's opponent Essendon are ranked 15th with one with from three matches.
 
Saturday afternoon will also be the Lions' first visit to Melbourne this pre-season, providing all the Club's Victorian-based fans a great opportunity to watch the team in action before the regular season arrives. 

TICKETING

All signed up 2012 Lions members (with match access) will receive free entry into this week's match (subject to capacity) upon presentation of their 2012 membership card.

Non-members are able to purchase tickets at the stadium on the day for the following prices:

Adult - $10
Concession - $5
Junior (U15) - $2

TEAM SELECTION

As usual, the Lions’ NAB Cup squad will be announced on Thursday afternoon.

Saturday afternoon will provide Senior Coach Michael Voss and his group of coaching staff one final opportunity to scrutinise the team before the regular season commences on Saturday 31 March.

So expect near full strength line-ups from the both sides.

Jonathan Brown is still a few weeks away from returning, although Josh Drummond and Sam Docherty are chances of a return (albeit likely in the Reserves practice match).
