Brisbane Lions vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
Is it too early to label the Lions as legit?
Brisbane has silenced some of its critics with a trio of high-scoring wins over Collingwood, North Melbourne, and GWS – Chris Fagan’s men amassing 100 points or more on each occasion.
There’s no denying this is a stark improvement for a side that looked lost up forward during the first two rounds, and it’s been impressive to see the goals coming from different individuals each week.
Fremantle, on the other hand, remains one of the most disappointing sides through the first two months of the season.
The Dockers just scraped home against the Suns in ‘Gather Round’ but came crashing back to early last week with another low-scoring loss at home last week, – this time in a primetime finals rematch against the Dogs.
Freo hasn’t shown anything to inspire confidence, and although they remain a decent defensive side, it’s hard to see them matching Brisbane’s potent forward line for four quarters.
