AFL:Lions expect skipper to 'fight through' Voss attention

Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan has urged Harris Andrews to simply fight his way through extra attention from opponents ahead of a looming battle with Fremantle's Patrick Voss.

One of the AFL's premier intercept markers, Andrews had his effectiveness limited by Geelong's Jack Henry and GWS forward Max Gruzewski in consecutive losses over the last fortnight.

Voss, meanwhile, has performed notable defensive roles on Hawthorn's James Sicily and St Kilda's Callum Wilkie in recent weeks and got under his opponents' skin.

Fagan expects Voss will have Andrews in his sights when the ladder-leading Dockers visit the Gabba on Saturday in what shapes as a significant clash for both sides.

But he has no magic solution for the Lions' co-captain, who will likely attempt to man-up on Fremantle spearhead Josh Treacy.
