Melbourne Demons vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Melbourne went into the 2022 AFL finals as equal favourites to win the flag at $3.00 but have now drifted to $5.00 after their loss to Sydney.
Just like all four games, it was a high intensity and contested game of football that they ultimately couldn’t produce for the whole four quarters.
Star midfielder Christian Petracca suffered a fractured leg which will be a concern for a midfield that has dominated the Lions in recent encounters.
The Lions went head to head in a high scoring affair against Richmond, and finally a close decision in a final went their way.
Lachie Neale was the difference for his side in a truly phenomenal individual performance, gathering 39 disposals and a whopping 15 clearances.
The Lions have averaged 7.3 more contested possessions than their opponents throughout season 2022 but lost that count by 38 against Melbourne in round 15 and by 10 in round 23.
The Lions have lost their last 11 straight at the MCG and the Dees have covered the line in their last nine straight night games against Brisbane.
There is rain forecast in Melbourne from Thursday so I’m expecting a low scoring and contested game of football.
The loss of Oscar McInnerny is massive for the Lions and I expect Max Gawn to have a huge game.
