Preview:
The Giants have had an extra few days to stew on their controversial loss to the Bombers last week.
Fortunately, Leon Cameron’s side returns home on Sunday afternoon to face the Lions, a game that holds serious finals implications for two sides tied on points.
Brisbane won their ninth game of the year last week in thrilling fashion over the Demons. Eric Hipwood was the star booting a casual five-goal bag, while Dayne Zorko, Jarryd Lyons and Lachie Neale all chipped in with 30 disposals each.
The Lions have made only two trips to Giants Stadium since GWS officially entered the league in 2012. Not surprisingly, they’ve lost both trips down south, while you have to rewind all the way back to 2013 to find the last Brisbane victory over GWS.
Things have changed since then though, and although the Lions have won only two interstate games all year, they certainly possess enough strength in the midfield to challenge the Giants.
From a betting perspective, GWS holds a terrific 7-2 record as the home favourite over the last two months, while they’ve been less impressive against the line at 5-4.
On the flip side, the Giants are a perfect 4-0 on the back of a loss this season, making them hard to back against as they hope to move one step closer to ensuring a home final.
Jeremy Cameron is the man to watch this week after last year’s sickening clash with Harris Andrews, and while the Lions will be looking for revenge, it’s hard to look past the fact he owns 11 goals against Brisbane in his last five games.
