Orla O'Dwyer inspired Brisbane to claim another AFLW Grand Final spot thanks to a hard-fought win over Geelong earlier.
The Lions ultimately ran out 38-34 winners in the first preliminary final with the Tipperary native kicking a vital goal.
Fellow Irish import Jennifer Dunne featured throughout for Brisbane too, while O'Dwyer was withdrawn late on after a heavy hit.

It will be either North Melbourne or Adelaide Crows next up in what will be the Lions' fifth final in eight seasons.
