Brisbane Lions vs GWS Giants Preview

There’s arguably no hotter team in the competition at the moment than the Lions, and they’ll be keen to make another big statement this weekend against a fellow contender.

Arguably the Giants haven’t been playing the most convincing style of footy, coming back from five goals down to beat Hawthorn, slugging it out against Melbourne, and beating the Suns on pure accuracy in front of goals.

The Lions smashed the Saints at the stoppages, and it’s been their bread and butter ever since their midseason turnaround.

GWS were forceful with their inside 50’s late against the Hawks but were stagnant in generating useful transition for the most part.

There’s no area the Lions seem weak in at the moment, and since Round 15 they have only conceded over 90 once, and scored no less than 79, which still won them the game.

Defensively the Lions will need to shut down the Giants forward power, but other teams haven’t struggled too much, so it’s hard to see Brisbane doing so.

Earlier this year at Manuka, the Giants steamrolled the Lions by 54 points, crushing them with uncontested possession, which will be Brisbane’s main focus to shut down on the small Gabba turf.

The Lions have won the past two games against the Giants at the Gabba, which broke a five-game losing streak before that point.

There’s a good chance the Giants will get a harsh reality check in this contest, and at the Gabba, that doesn’t help their case.
