The Roos have two former Lions on their side this year, with power forward Tahlia Randall playing in the northern state across 20 – including both Grand Finals – while more recently Lulu Pullar made the move to the blue and white this year. In that period, the Lions have claimed victory on each occasion, although the margin was just two points when they played in round four this year. North Melbourne and Brisbane have faced off four times, having met for the first time in 2021 and played every season since.
