Brisbane Lions got a late scare but held out to claim their second win of the season defeating the Geelong Cats 27-25 on Saturday at their first home game in Maroochydore Multi-Sports stadium. The hosts were celebrating Saturday’s home game after unveiling the 2021 Premiership Flag pre-game.

The Lions who won on Tuesday against Carlton Blues by 35 points at Merticon Stadium, got off to a slow start against Geelong after the visitors got the opening goal of the game through Chantel Emonson. The hosts got moving in the second quarter with a goal through Dakota Davidson to lead by four at half time.
