RICHMOND succeeded in snapping a four-game losing streak on Saturday afternoon by beating St Kilda by 44 points at Etihad Stadium. However, after losses to Essendon, North Melbourne, Fremantle and the Sydney Swans, the Tigers are four games out of the eight at 13th on the ladder. The Brisbane Lions, after an emotional week when Jonathan Brown was forced to retire after yet another dangerous concussion, got up to beat the Kangaroos by four points at the Gabba. It was the resurgent team's third win in five weeks, which keeps them a game clear of the bottom-placed Saints.

EFA, its going to be like a second coming of the gods

[one-eyed]

RICHMOND and Brisbane Lions fans will need to use pubic transport or leave their car away from the MCG this weekend following the complete closure of Yarra Park.

Recent rain has forced the entire car parking area to be closed to everyone including the public, media, disabled permit holders, emergency services personnel and event staff.

It was determined by the MCC, which manages Yarra Park, that a large portion of the surface would be at risk of damage if used by vehicles in the coming days.

Brisbane Lions aren’t concerned about their losing streak against Richmond ahead of clash
Herald-Sun
July 03, 2014 1:33PM

BRISBANE’S miserable record against Richmond has not been a topic of discussion at the Gabba this week in the build-up to Saturday’s clash between the big cats at the MCG.

The Tigers have beaten the Lions in 11 of the past 12 outings between the clubs stretching over the past 10 years with Brisbane’s solitary win in that time coming in Round 7, 2009.

Richmond, Sydney, Hawthorn and Fremantle are the four clubs that Brisbane have failed to beat since 2009.

Lions assistant coach Murray Davis said the only result that had come under the microscope was the 43-point loss to the Tigers on Easter Thursday this year.

“In the [Round 5] game here against Richmond at the Gabba we felt we had periods where we were in the game,” Davis said.

“We had lapses in concentration from stoppages and late in quarters.

“That’s what we have been talking about, the most recent stuff … we’ve got to go down to the MCG and fix that.”

Tigers spearhead Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin will be heavily targeted this weekend after putting Brisbane to the sword in Round 5.

Davis said Brisbane would also need a team approach to shutdown prolific ball-winners Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio.

“We think that with our defenders we’ve got a good balance down there with Justin Clarke … and Joel Patfull is in good form as well,” Davis said.

“But it’s an individual thing as much as a team thing as well.”

If our admin had any nous they would have bulldozed Punt Road instead of redeveloping and turned it into a multi-storey car park, which at $30 per car all season would have secured the future of the club and been far more use than so-called training facilities.
