Where and when: Gabba, 2:10pm (AEST)
Last time they met: R7 2020: GWS 10.8 (68) DEF BY Brisbane 13.10 (88) at Blacktown.
Kicking the first four goals of the game, the Lions were made to work after half-time before securing the 13.10 (88) to 10.8 (68) win with the first three majors of the final term. It was made even more impressive with raging Brownlow Medal favourite Lachie Neale’s (20 disposals) influence subdued by Giants tagger Matt de Boer in the first half, opening the door for Jarrod Berry, Hugh McCluggage and Jarryd Lyons to take control. Key back Harris Andrews blanketed Giants spearhead Jeremy Cameron in the first half, collecting eight intercept possessions and keeping Cameron goalless. The reigning Coleman medallist then got separation on Andrews during the third term and kickstarted a mini Giants fightback and run of four consecutive goals.
Match Preview: Interesting match this one. The Lions sit 4th on 7 wins and in the last month have taken the scalps of flag contenders Port and Richmond. Handy. The Giants sit 8th but I really like what I’ve seen of them in their 5 wins. They’re very much in the frame to play in September this year with their rolled gold midfield. Should be a good game.

awesome stuff with the scores on both matches thanks Lisa!!
Melb lockdown Macca so not much else to do…except rue the choice of Captaining Grundy when I had Gawn’s 120 in the bank, and sitting through the Pies/Cats game in disbelief of the scoring, or lack thereof.
Zorko
Whitfield
Jelly
All on fire!
Lyons
McCluggage
Taranto
Well down on recent form.
Daniher having a stinker.
Mummy – Hamstring injury but returned to field
Lyons looking to finally drop in price so I can pick him up r14. Made the mistake the first time of not picking him over petracca wont miss out on him again.
