Fagan demands action as Lions chase three-peat against Adelaide
Brisbane coach Chris Fagan insists his Lions must prove themselves with action, not words. They play Adelaide Crows in Saturday's semi-final.
Fagan warned on Friday that past comebacks don't guarantee success against Adelaide. The Lions bounced back from heavy losses before.
But the coach said history alone won't deliver a third straight premiership. "It's all about actions, it's not about talk," he said.
Brisbane must show energy and effort when it matters. Ankle injury sidelines lockdown defender Noah Answerth.
Young key-position player Ty Gallop steps in alongside Harris Andrews, Darcy Gardiner and Ryan Lester. They help fight Adelaide's tall forwards.
Training went well, Fagan said. But he felt the same way before the Sydney loss.
