SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
Geelong vs. Brisbane
MCG, 2:30pm [AEST]
Team news: Brisbane Lions co-captain Lachie Neale has made an extraordinary recovery to be selected for the AFL Grand Final against a Geelong side featuring Rhys Stanley. Neale, whose season was feared over three weeks ago when suffering a calf injury, replaces Jarrod Berry, who will miss Saturday's premiership decider after dislocating a shoulder last weekend. The Cats summoned Stanley to replace five-time All Australian defender Tom Stewart, who was concussed in last Friday night's preliminary final against Hawthorn. -- AAP
