Fagan said he would rather Neale’s visit to Collingwood had occurred after Brisbane had played Carlton. Fagan has preferred to focus on Brisbane’s bid to return to winning ways against the Hawks who are fellow top-four contenders. Before losing to Carlton, the Lions had won seven successive games, giving Fagan confidence that his team would bounce back on Friday night. Lions defender Ryan Lester is set to make his 250th AFL appearance on Friday after recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered against Carlton. “You get confidence from continuity and confidence that other people believe and value you.”
