A top eight clash with plenty riding on it.
Carlton ended a two-game losing streak with a comprehensive 108-point victory over an injury-ravaged West Coast last week, led by Charlie Curnow's nine-goal haul.
Their opponent, Brisbane, are one of the hottest teams in the competition now, winning their past four matches by an average of 44 points.
However, aside from Collingwood, the Lions haven't beaten anyone of note in the past month, while the same can be said about the Blues.
