Springfield Park & Ride. Free if Qld Rail cooperates. 250 meters to Lions
Take exit 32.The 5 story Park & Ride is on your right. Impossible to miss
At the 1st roundabout (construction works) basically do a u turn to get back to the Park & Ride entrance

At present not all car parks are open.
Take exit 32. Turn right at the 2nd roundabout into Southern Cross Cct.
Entrance on right via Sir Lew Edwards Drive on corner of Southern Cross Cct.
Now to the game, but i won't go into much detail. Will leave that to posters for their opinions
We will play in front of a home crowd but have no real home ground advantage.
Overall record in 7 meetings is Demons 5 Lions 2
More important is the meetings this year
Season 2022:- Lions had a loss by 3 then another loss in the PF by 4
S7:- Lions win by 15
We will go in as favourites, but with the 2 losses earlier in the year (season 2022) fresh in their minds complacency should not be an issue
At our best we should get the win. But it’s a GF so you need to nail every opportunity
Melbourne have a good defense structure that relies on bad delivery to forwards by their opposition.
We are guilty of this as could be seen in the Adelaide game. We should have beaten the Crows by 6 goals last week
I won’t go into which players are likely to win us or them the game, but a team effort is required to win a GF.
Will we try and shut down some Melbourne players?. Maybe but i doubt it will be more that one
Kick a decent score and we should get the win
One question remains on selection
Zimmei is available but has not played for a while
Taylor Smith sustained an ankle injury on Friday but returned to the field so should be okay for selection
Will Starcevich bring Zimmei in over someone?
I think that may be likely, but won’t be surprised if he does not
