You pretty much got it right. One added concern for us Lions is that Dixon always plays well against us and he looks to be slowly moving into some nice form. With Clarke gone Merrett really is our only option there. Westoff also seems to match up well against us - if he plays forward expect Andrews to go with him. Wingard will worry us if he returns. And if you get Gray No.1 back it could be sayonara.Good preview Pappagallo
Lobbe being assessed for a knee injury takes away any temptation for Ken to call him straight back. Wingard will return, but I think we will generally keep faith in the Tiger-tamers.
Brisbane present a far different challenge to Richmond. Their strength is in the midfield, and with goals from running players. Their KPFs are more structural, although they will probably bring back Schache after resting him last week.
Away from the Gabba, the Lions can be awful sometimes, and whilst we should not take them lightly, they threw up a huge effort against the Swans but still went down, and the inconsistency of young teams indicates that they may well have a downer this week.
Port by 6 goals.
