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...
Bruce Reville
Reville looms as the like-for-like replacement given his midfield prowess and ability to play wing.
Hugh McCluggage stated he may get more inside midfield minutes in Neale's absence, opening the door on the wing.
Reville has played 18 games this year, and was an emergency last week. He played in last year's premiership team.
