Geelong Cats vs Brisbane Lions Preview
A clash between second and third on the ladder played at the neutral ground of the SCG is set to be a beauty.
The Cats and Lions were super impressive last weekend and both sides beat their respective opponents by 37 points.
Geelong got the job done over those young upstart Gold Coast Suns last weekend in what could possibly be their last game at the Cattery for a while.
They will also be relieved to finally get two wins on the trot, something they haven’t done since Round 12 of last year.
The Brisbane Lions (proudly sponsored by Neds) are second on the line of premiership betting at the time of publish, and rightfully so.
In the past fortnight, the Lions have gotten the job done over the team that’s bottom of the ladder and top of the ladder in convincing style.
They are actually fun to watch, Lachie Neale already has the Brownlow around his neck and there’s a real belief amongst Fages and his men right now that they could go all the way this year.
In a normal situation, you’d be thinking that the Lions playing the Cats away would be the ultimate test as to where they are at but the game being played at the SCG might give them some more confidence.
This will be a good test for the Lions and if they can chalk up a win on the road this Thursday night they may be on top of the ladder and premiership betting by the end of this weekend.
