Brisbane Lions prepare for next match following club record loss
Summary

Brisbane coach Craig Starcevich is seeking a response from his team as they prepare to host Greater Western Sydney this Saturday night at Brighton Homes Arena. The club currently holds a 1-2 record following a record defeat to Melbourne at Casey Fields. The Lions are managing a wave of injuries after Ruby Svarc, Marlo Graham, and Neasa Dooley sustained injuries during the match against the Demons. Additionally, Ally Anderson and Courtney Hodder remain unavailable for selection. To address these absences, Brisbane has named debutants Asher Fearn-Wannan and Madi Evans to the team lineup. Despite the current challenges, Starcevich remains confident in the leadership group to help the team improve its standing.
