Brisbane will look to climb back into the top four when they host Essendon in the last round of the regular season, in a match which doubles as Joe Daniher's 200th AFL game.
Losses in their last two games saw the Lions slip out of the top four, and only a win could help them avoid an elimination final.
The Bombers fall from grace was confirmed last Friday, as a loss to the Swans officially ended their finals hopes.
