Brisbane Lions vs Sydney Swans Match Preview
Brisbane Lions: form and statistics
Third-placed Brisbane claimed a crucial win in their push for a top-four spot with a powerful 27-point victory over the Collingwood Magpies at the MCG in Round 21. The Lions' midfield dominated the contest, with Lachie Neale, Hugh McCluggage, Josh Dunkley, and Will Ashcroft each gathering over 30 disposals. Meanwhile, Logan Morris delivered a standout performance up forward, kicking six goals to seal the win. The victory over Collingwood was a swift response to a surprisingly poor performance defeat against the Gold Coast in round 20, which brought an end to a four-match winning streak. The Lions cannot afford to slip up against a Swans outfit they have beaten in their last six consecutive encounters.
Sydney Swans: form and statistics
Tenth-placed Swans are also coming into this game on the back of a hard-fought 14-point win over the Essendon Bombers in wet and windy conditions at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the Round 21 games. The Swans outlet would be hoping to keep their narrow playoff chances alive, as they are 12 points behind the playoff spot. Sydney ruckman Brodie Grundy delivered a masterclass against Essendon, recording a career-best 39 disposals, 32 hitouts, and 13 clearances in one of the standout individual performances of the season.
Brisbane Lions vs Sydney Swans head to head statistics
