Sportal is tipping us by almost 5 goals.

WE THINK:
Not a lot to like about this encounter with just one win between the two sides in the opening five rounds of the season. The Tigers have had the wood over the Lions in the recent years with the Queenslanders recording just one win from their past seven clashes.

While both teams look to be struggling there is definitely more upside down at Tigerland. The young brigade of Martin, Trent Cotchin and Reece Conca continue to impress, while Coleman Medalist Jack Riewoldt has kept up his high level of form.

Brisbane do have some impressive youngsters coming through their ranks, but their older players are showing signs of struggling and with just three wins from their past 22 matches, it's hard to see them getting over the line in this one.

Richmond by 28 points.

Their half-back line is probably our biggest concern if Drummond plays. Jack will have his work cut out against Merrett, but for the second week in a row we SHOULD have the quality to be able to win.
He hasn't had a good pre-season.  Will be low on fitness.  Will be disappointed if White doesn't towel him up.

Brisbane fans of BF are quite confident.....  :shh
Their game last week was pretty woeful skills wise (by both them and the Saints) so gawd knows at 0-4 how they can be confident even quietly  :wallywink.



Raines will shut down Martin apparently  :lol

Merrett will smash Jack as well...  :rollin

Need to keep Clark quiet. Need to keep an eye on their midfield. It is the perfect game to show the football world we are improving. Need to be ruthless against them. Graham must impose himself in ruck contests

Martin only has to go at 50% capacity and Raines wont be able to do anything.
