Gabba will play host to Saturday's Round 10 AFL game between the Brisbane Lions (3-5-1) and the Richmond Tigers (1-8).
Brisbane almost pulled off a thrilling away victory that could have rekindled their season, but could only manage a draw against Kuwarna last week. They will hope to breeze past the struggling Tigers and remain in contention with the top eight, especially with the Hawks, Bulldogs and Saints to come.
Richmond, meanwhile, are now in the midst of an injury crisis which is taking a toll on their performances. The Tigers have now lost five on the spin with the margins increasing every week, but they will back themselves to keep this one tight against the similarly undermanned Lions.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Brisbane vs Richmond in the AFL, plus plenty more.
