Carlton faces arguably the toughest road trip in footy when it returns to the Gabba to face the Lions in a blockbuster Friday night preliminary final rematch to open their seasons.
Brisbane goes into 2024 full of confidence after a strong pre-season and is perhaps as well placed as ever under Chris Fagan for a flag tilt following a heartbreaking grand final loss to Collingwood.
The Blues are meanwhile out of for prelim revenge over the Lions in a game that ended their season, however they’ll be without several big guns to start the season due to injury including Jacob Weitering and Sam Walsh.
