Brisbane Lions vs Port Adelaide Power live updates, qualifying final ...

Nobody really knew what was going on there, but SPP was being ragged at the stoppage. He's gifted a chance to get one back.

And he misses it. Another bad one. Port kicking themselves out of it already, they are 0.4 from five set shots tonight.

Easy as you like for Joe, who is looking awfully dangerous tonight. He has his first and Brisbane have four — and a 17-point lead.

And there's the advantage of playing in front. Fletcher's hacked kick forward caught everyone off guard, but Daniher had put himself in the perfect position to take the easy mark.

He'll line up from close range as both Scott Lycett and Josh Dunkley leave the field under the blood rule.

Intriguing first half. The second might tell us a lot more about who will be on the fast track to a prelim.

So the Lions take the early lead, but it's pretty close to a stalemate in terms of general play. Both teams having a bit their own way, but both with some things to work on.

Chiefly for Port, they've got to start taking their chances. Bad misses to Marshall and Lycett are really the difference in this game so far.

Too close to call after the opening term. Fun to watch though.

Poor goalkicking killing Port Adelaide early. We've watched inaccuracy kill teams all weekend, so this is not a good sign for the Power.

And the big ruckman will have a shot on goal from 30 metres out, directly in front. Great forward pressure from Port, but Wilmot was a bit too ambitious there.

It was a hacked kick forward from Ah Chee, but Lincoln McCarthy read it in the air well before anyone else.

It'll take his best from here. And he is unable to offer up his best. A miss from 50 metres out.

Wonderful roving and snapping from big Ollie Lord. He moves so well for a big fella, and that's just the moment of class Port Adelaide needed to settle things down.

It's a hot start now for Brisbane! That's a classy finish from Cam Rayner, deep in the pocket and a good 40 metres out. But that was swinging back through the middle as soon as it hit his boot.

He got to the ball first, got low and copped the high hit from Farrell. Cam Rayner will look to bend one from the boundary.

Never in doubt for the teenager. The Lions have the first two of the game now.

Again Bailey was clever in the pocket, but this time he went for the squaring kick. At the back of the pack was Jaspa Fletcher, who soared for the grab. Shouldn't miss this one.

He's leading his Port opponent to the ball on every occasion, and repelling every attack. Great start from Brisbane's co-captain.

For a player who hardly misses, those are two really poor efforts from Todd Marshall. At least that one registered a behind.

Now Todd Marshall will get a chance to make amends in front of goal. McKenna just had a hold of him over the shoulder as the long kick came in.

It was a really poor inside kick from Butters on half-back, and the Lions have sweated on the turnover. Now Hipwood can have a look at one from 40 metres out.

But he's missed again. Hooked this one.
