Defender Bachar Houli says his side will relish the opportunity to face the Brisbane Lions for the second time in three weeks.

Richmond prevailed over the Lions by 27 points at the MCG last Sunday, with the two sides set to meet again in next Saturday night's qualifying final at the Gabba.

The Tigers will head to Brisbane next week for the qualifying final having spent their past seven games at the MCG.

"I don't think there's much difference apart from the travel component of it that we'll prepare as normal as every game," Houli said on Friday.

"Apparently it's a very similar deck to the MCG in terms of size. That's what 'Dimma' (coach Damien Hardwick) mentioned last week, so we've travelled pretty well along our journey. We'll take a lot of confidence out of that and prepare as normal.

"We've been in the same situation or the same place for a few years now. We're just excited for another opportunity and obviously another chance to play against a real, real quality team."

Houli earned his maiden All Australian selection on Wednesday night off the back of a career-best season where he has averaged 28.4 disposals and 6.3 marks playing across half-back.

The 31-year-old said he was "humbled" by his selection alongside teammate Dylan Grimes.

"I'm extremely humbled by it, I'm sure Dylan is as well," he said.

"It's something that was ... (a) last-second thing. It's truly an honour and it's something that I'll cherish … probably after football where … you kind of reflect on achievements.

"But the great thing is we've achieved the grand final (in 2017), which was very, very special ... definitely the highest achievement that someone can achieve. Hopefully we can back that up in the near future as well."
