Brisbane will host a dream Grand Final at its new Springfield facility next Sunday after disposing of reigning premier Adelaide in Friday night's preliminary final.

After a scoreless 10 minutes to open the match at Metricon Stadium, the minor premier was barely pushed as it stormed to a 7.4 (46) to 3.5 (23) victory.

Adelaide threw everything at the Lions in a frenetic opening, but while both teams lacked composure, it was the home team that steadied first through a Cathy Svarc goal.

Brisbane blew the game open with four unanswered goals in the second quarter – two each to Jesse Wardlaw and Courtney Hodder – as they made the most of their forward 50 entries.

Reigning League best and fairest Emily Bates was at her best, racking up 22 disposals and four clearances to help the Lions midfield get on top. Her centre clearance breakaway and delivery to Hodder just before half-time almost put the game away.

It was an emotional week for Adelaide, with the passing of former player Heather Anderson, but the Crows battled tirelessly after trailing by 35 points early in the third quarter, but were just unable to connect between midfield and forward often enough to trouble their opponents.

Anne Hatchard (25) and captain Chelsea Randall (16 and a goal) stood out.
