Preview:
Not many fans would have predicted the Brisbane Lions would be 3-0 to start the season, with wins against the Eagles, Roos and Power. They travel to the MCG full of confidence for a showdown against the Bombers on Saturday afternoon. Essendon got off the board with a three-goal win against Melbourne in a high scoring encounter last weekend. The Dons scored 130 points, surpassing their combined points total from rounds one and two of just 105 points. The Lions have finished matches strongly this season, scoring 7 and 5 goals in the final quarter of matches against the Roos and Power, which were both in the balance in the final term. It’s that second wave of energy and attack that makes them a tough proposition to bet against. The Wolf has seen the Lions upset the Bombers in their last two visits to Melbourne to play the Dons, with this the first time they play at the ‘G in a decade, where they drew 87-all. This match could be just as close, so the in-form team is the way to go.
