AFL Grand Final, Hughes expected to play, Postecoglou's frustrating Nottingham Forest start

Brisbane Lions co-captain Lachie Neale is set to play in Saturday’s AFL Grand Final against Geelong at the MCG. The dual Brownlow Medallist’s injured calf made it through a closed training session on Thursday morning.

Storm coach Craig Bellamy expects Jahrome Hughes to play in Friday night’s Preliminary Final against the Sharks at AAMI Park. The reigning Dally M medallist fractured his forearm 3 weeks ago, but says he’s an all but certain starter.

Ange Postecoglou's frustrating start at Nottingham Forest continues. Forest conceded a late goal to draw 2-all with Real Betis in the Europa League. Ange is winless from 4 games across 3 competitions.
