As it stands, Brisbane will be without two-time Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale for Saturday's Grand Final against Fremantle after the Tribunal upheld his one-match suspension.
But who's in line to replace him?
There's always controversy when heading into the final week of the AFL season, and this year has proven no different.
Could there be a fairy-tale inclusion for two injury-plagued stars? Will a premiership defender overcome an ankle injury?
How about a 2025 premiership team member? Or a draftee from last year?
The Lions can still appeal the Tribunal's decision at the AFL Appeals Board, but in case, here are six Brisbane players who are in line to play on Saturday...
Lincoln McCarthy
Next name on the agenda is the hard luck Lincoln McCarthy, who missed the past two Grand Final victories with knee injuries.
The veteran forward has played eight games this season after overcoming back-to-back ACL injuries.
He last featured in Fagan's side in Round 9 against Carlton.
McCarthy has been used in multiple roles both as a forward and half-back this year.
Given his versatility, Fagan could push the likes of Zac Bailey or Cam Rayner more into the midfield - in Neale's absence - and use McCarthy as a small forward.
He was an emergency for last week's preliminary final.
