BRISBANE could be bolstered by the return of Josh Drummond, Jed Adcock and Joel Macdonald for Friday night's cut-throat semi-final against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG.
Lions coach Michael Voss was optimistic that Drummond who was a late withdrawal from the side that defeated Carlton with a quad injury would be right to play against the Bulldogs.
"At this stage I'm very hopeful he might be alright - much more hopeful than I was last week," Voss said.
Adcock has missed the past eight weeks with a knee injury but is in the selection mix despite being unable to get any game time under his belt last weekend due to the fact that the club's reserves side is not a part of the QAFL finals.
"He's a good chance, trained last week, will train today - so he's another one that will be a very good chance to play," Voss said.
Voss also said he was confident that Macdonald who was also a late withdrawal from the elimination final against the Blues with an ongoing back complaint would be passed fit.
In further news, Simon Black, Daniel Bradshaw and Daniel Merrett who were under injury clouds heading into last weekend's match got through the game unscathed and are certain starters for the clash against the Dogs while skipper Jonathan Brown will also play despite suffering damage to his eye socket in a nasty collision with Carlton's Heath Scotland.
