The grand final beckons for the Cats and Lions
Good afternoon, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL finals series. With one preliminary final in the books and one grand finalist locked in, all roads lead to the MCG as Geelong and Brisbane do battle for the right to fill the other spot.
The Cats were able to enjoy a week off after an impressive qualifying final win over Port Adelaide a fortnight ago, while the Lions had to produce one of the greatest comebacks in finals history against the Giants last week to make it this far. Different journeys, but the same goal today.
So many interesting match-ups, so many great players, so little margin for error. Brace yourself for one of the biggest games of the year, and keep the blog handy as we enjoy all of it together.
