FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
Adelaide vs. Hawthorn
Adelaide Oval, 7:40pm [AEST]
Team news: Josh Rachele will continue to train fully this week and is expected to put his hand up for selection as the Crows now enter a do-or-die final. Harry Schoenberg had 25 disposals, 10 clearances, and one goal in the SANFL, while Sid Draper had 16 and 10 tackles. For the Hawks, key forward Calsher Dear has been ruled out after scans revealed a hamstring strain, leaving the door open for Mitch Lewis who was left out of last week's stirring win over the Giants but kicked four goals for Box Hill. Cam Mackenzie racked up 31 disposals in the VFL side's semifinal win to also stay in the mix.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
Brisbane vs. Gold Coast
Gabba, 7:35pm [AEST]
Team news: In devastating news for the Lions, Lachie Neale will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a calf injury in the loss to the Cats. Bruce Reville was omitted last week and had 19 disposals in the VFL, while Oscar McInerney (21 disposals and one goal) and Henry Smith (four goals) also had a presence. Jake Rogers and Nick Holman will be hoping for better news this week after being overlooked for last week's win over Fremantle, with Damien Hardwick instead naming veteran David Swallow.
