Thursday night footy at the Gabba, and it is a big one to start as well. The Brisbane Lions and the Sydney Swans have both had their mid-season bye. Both had some momentum going into the bye as well. The Lions on their premiership defense desperately need to start to get some more momentum. And for Sydney, one of their very best comes back in Errol Gould. And that's a big game coming your way tonight. But as always, a big, big edition of the Thursday Rub. I'm Jack Hevern. I'm here at the Gabba for tonight's game. Back at HQ, you've got the Queen, Kate McCarthy, who is ready to rock. Queen, good to see you. Your Lions in action tonight. This is a big one for them.
Kate McCarthy· Panelist1:03
Yeah, it's gonna be a massive game. Um, Sydney have been flying of recent times, and the Lions need to get their game going this back half of the year. So really looking forward to building up to this one. It's gonna be a cracking clash.
