AFL:Freo taking nothing for granted against hurting Lions

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has brushed off Brisbane's flop against GWS, labelling it an anomaly ahead of Saturday's clash with the defending premiers at the Gabba.

Big questions were raised about Brisbane's prospects of snaring a third straight AFL flag after they conceded 14 goals in the third quarter of last week's 78-point loss to GWS.

In contrast, Fremantle (10-1) are now premiership favourites after putting together a club-record 10-match winning run to move one win clear on top of the table.

The Dockers are set to make the trip to Brisbane without star midfielder Hayden Young, who is likely to be sidelined for a third match with concussion.

That's on top of fellow gun midfielder Caleb Serong still missing with a calf injury.
