Brisbane forward Eric Hipwood has offered an insight into Brisbane's forward set up.
The Lions are set to go into their qualifying final against Sydney with Hipwood, All-Australian Logan Morris and Oscar Allen.
Hipwood and Allen have both had injury-interrupted campaigns, with Hipwood missing the early part of the year returning from an ACL rupture and Allen has played the last four games including a four-goal haul against Collingwood in Round 24.
"I think you look at the top four or five teams who have the three keys which is a nice recipe for success," Hipwood said.
"I think the last three or four games it works really well. You might not see it on the stats sheet but you see the way we're able to score going inside 50 and our efficiency as well, I think that's probably the best indicator to look at.
"It's nothing too new and gives us some isolated looks. That's about it really. The stats sheet might not be lighting up but it's the one-on-ones you get and the efficiency which is important."
Hipwood also dismissed suggestions the Lions would be hot favourites despite the tumult Sydney has been subjected to in the recent weeks following five players being stood down on the eve of Round 24.
"We've played the Swans twice this year and got a small sample size of them playing against North Melbourne," Hipwood said.
"I think that win against North Melbourne was huge. I think that's a solid win the Swans had so we'll look at that, watch how they played. I expect the Swans to be at their best, finals can bring anything so we'll hone in on ourselves."
