The Brisbane Lions have continued their rise up the ladder with a big win over Collingwood at the Gabba, while all eyes will be on whether Nick Daicos will be fit for Gather Round after he was withdrawn just before the match on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The Lions were never headed and had winners across the ground, despite their makeshift defence due to injury and suspension.<\/p>\n

The biggest difference in the match was the forward lines, with several goal-scoring chances going begging for the potent Lions, who still posted a bumper score thanks to Logan Morris (three goals), Kai Lohmann (four) and Oscar Allen (three) all impressive, along with cameos from Charlie Cameron and their midfield.<\/p>\n

Will Ashcroft\u2019s third-term goal will be a goal of the year contender, just adding to his stunning night.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, all eyes will be on how Craig McRae\u2019s Magpies bounce back from their underwhelming start to 2026 and their ongoing struggles to kick goals. Outside of Dan McStay\u2019s three goals, the Pies had few dangers forward of centre.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Daicos\u2019 calf injury will alarm supporters despite the Magpies remaining confident he will be fit for Gather Round in Adelaide next weekend, while Steele Sidebottom showed great determination to play on after a blistering hit from Keidean Coleman.<\/p>\n

The Lions are due to get premiership star defender and skipper Harris Andrews back from suspension, just adding to their ascension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brisbane Lions have continued their rise up the ladder with a big win over Collingwood at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-580759","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
