Brisbane can seal the top two and a Gabba-based finals series with a win over a St Kilda outfit also eyeing off a home first final. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:35pm (AEST).
The Lions took care of an injury-depleted Collingwood to leave them just one win away from a home qualifying final, and with it a golden chance at a first grand final since 2004.
While the Saints will be without gun forward Max King and midfielder Seb Ross, they were excellent in ending Geelong’s finals hopes last season, and with defeat leaving them vulnerable to having to face Sydney at the SCG in their elimination final, they have everything to play for.

Summary of the night- Daniher hit the post from top of goal square (set shot)
Doctor Rotcod
Roar Rookie
Saints in the eight,what's not to like? Coached by Ross Lyon as well.
Aaron Paul
Roar Rookie
that kind of inaccuracy will cost them against a better side
Tassie.
Roar Rookie
Not so , Lions missed a few easy shots on goal. But Saints pressure had a lot to do with their inaccuracy & if King was playing the result could have been different. Anyway from the start of the season people said they were bottom four. Strange at the end of the H & A there are 12 teams below them. But i suppose it is too much to ask for some respect?
Doctor Rotcod
Roar Rookie
Couldn't see the game. So, a couple of questions. Did accuracy suffer because of poor set shots? Were snaps forced too wide by Saints' pressure? What happened? Maybe it could have been a ten goal margin?

Matches with Lyon teams have been like that for 15 years :laughing:

28 scores to 16, not sure saints can take a lot of credit

A 19th behind should seal it
Tassie.
Roar Rookie
Well played Saints, fell short. Will be different at the G or Marvel. Well done Lions.

lions have a good chance to make GF, top four is an enormous advantage.

Is that what makes the opposition unable to kick straight?
