Show Preview
The Brisbane Lions face Collingwood at the Gabba in what looms as an acid test of their credentials. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:35pm (AEST).
Off the back of a disappointing loss to the Bulldogs in Round 3, the Lions welcome competition heavyweights Collingwood to their home ground, with a massive four points on offer.
Thus far in 2023, it has been a little hit and miss for the Lions, with two poor losses sandwiching the impressive win they claimed against Melbourne in week two. It makes the form of the Queenslanders tough to gauge and the inconsistency they have shown thus far is surely to be tested against what looks to be the best team in the AFL right now.
Collingwood are three from three, having knocked off the Tigers, Cats and Power, with everyone in the football community impressed by the quality they have shown. It stands to be a long night for the Lions, unless they are able to recapture the form they showed against the Demons, as the Pies go in search of extending their perfect start to the season.
Team news sees the Lions take some hope from the fact that the Magpies have been hit by injury concerns. Ash Johnson and Daniel McStay will take up the ruck slack with Darcy Cameron unavailable. The Lions have responded by omitting Darcy Fort, believing that Oscar McInerney will be able to achieve dominance in the ruck against the depleted Collingwood group.
Jaxon Prior also comes in for Brisbane, while Daniel Rich continues to be absent from the Lions’ half-back line with an injury that appears to be growing in its severity.
Prediction
Tipping against the Pies after their red hot start to the season does seem foolish and they should have too much explosive scoring power for the Lions tonight. The one hope the home side does have is the injury list that sees some young and inexperienced men forced to take on important roles for the Pies.
Should Chris Fagan manage to inspire a gritty performance like the one we saw in Round 2, the Lions could well be in the match for longer than what most people expect.
Collingwood by 31 points.
