Hard man Mitch Robinson did everything he could to win a recall for Brisbane's AFL preliminary final against Geelong next week, racking up a game-high 29 possessions in the Lions' heavy VFL loss to Casey on Saturday.
Robinson, who is expected to leave the Lions at the end of the season, was a standout in Brisbane's thumping 51-point defeat that ends its VFL season, laying six tackles and having 20 kicks in a strong performance.
Fellow midfielder Rhys Mathieson, the unused medi-sub in the AFL on Friday night, finished with 23 disposals.
Both Robinson and Mathieson played the AFL elimination final against Richmond, but would likely need injuries to some senior midfielders to be recalled for the prelim against the Cats.
Jaxon Prior, who was also dropped from the senior side during the week, had 12 kicks in his 13 disposals.
Kai Lohmann (two goals from nine touches) was Brisbane's only multiple goalkicker in its final VFL match of the season, while ruckman Henry Smith showed some positive signs with 15 disposals, nine tackles and 25 hitouts.

Key forward Chris Burgess kicked a game-high four goals and took five marks, while Josh Corbett also impressed with 10 marks and two goals to go with 14 possessions.
Ned Moyle (45 hitouts and 19 disposals) had a fascinating dual with former Sun Brayden Crossley (36 hitouts and 21 touches) in the ruck, while Jack Bowes also had a good day out, finishing with 23 possessions, seven tackles and a goal.

The day after Melbourne crashed out of the AFL finals, tall forwards Tom McDonald and Jacob van Rooyen kicked three goals each as Casey thrashed Brisbane to win through to the VFL Grand Final.
McDonald, on the comeback from a Lisfranc injury, and youngster van Rooyen were considered outside chances of playing in the senior side for Melbourne's AFL semi-final against the Lions on Friday night, but they will instead spearhead Casey's push for some silverware next weekend.
McDonald was one of the best on ground in Casey's 51-point win, picking up 20 disposals to go with his three majors, and he also shook off an injury scare in the final term when he limped from the ground before returning.
Luke Dunstan (25 disposals and 10 tackles) and Kade Chandler (25 touches and a goal) also had a good day out, as did talls Mitch Brown (22 touches and nine marks) and Adam Tomlinson (22 disposals).
Another Demon tall, Sam Weideman, had a solid day in a ruck role, picking up 14 disposals and a goal to go with 37 hitouts.
