Brisbane are about as heavy a favourite as it is possible to be when they host the beleaguered West Coast at their Gabba fortress. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 1:45pm (AEST).
While the Eagles welcome back stars Jeremy McGovern and Tim Kelly, and are coming off one of their best performances of the season in a narrow loss to St Kilda last week, the loss of captain Luke Shuey and veteran Shannon Hurn to yet more injuries sums up the issues they have faced all year.
While the Lions are also short of stars, with Josh Dunkley and Jarrod Berry among four changes, they still have more than enough talent to secure what should be a straightforward four points here.

I actually thought we could have been close today. Considering our line up , Its very disappointing to get beaten the way we did. The clean out cant come soon enough.

Still seeing growth in the young guys which is most important. Brisbane are 3rd so considering our away games this year 85points is about right. It's all about the kids showing improvement and maybe getting over north in a few weeks other than that it's draft and trades.

Exactly Neil. You can only analyse how good or bad your draw was in retrospect after the season, not before.

No Shuey makes a difference. Lions ' midfield is first-class.

Does it get discounted in Round 23? Or is it "unfair" that WC might get some players back?

Gov? Best defender? For 8 years? Surely youse having a lend of us matie. Doesn't defend. Runs around with no opponent. Hasn't even taken to the park much for two years. Should retire gracefully.
