Dusty and Prestia out for the Tigers, still without Lynch, with Hopper back in. The Lions big favourites at home, Daniher kicks the opener. Short goals from 50 once more, it's all Brisbane though, with a handy 21-point lead going into quarter-time. Daniher with a good contested mark and goal to start the 2nd-term and the Lions kick further away. Brisbane smashing the Tigers in all areas, first to footy and up 48 by half-time. The Lions extend the lead in the 3rd, Richmond's only goals coming from players floating in from the mid and defense unattended, nothing from the forwards. Brisbane blowout the margin further, winning by 81 points. The hit-outs were even, Brisbane +24 in clearances, with much more of the footy. The Lions with 30 more inside 50's, for 16 more scoring shots and accurate on goal. Neale best afield, with 34 disposals, 10 clearances, 2 goals and an assist. Daniher 19 disposals, 4 contested marks, 6 inside 50's, 5 goals and 2 assists. Ashcroft 27 disposals, 8 inside 50's, 471 metres gained and 2 assists. McCluggage 34 disposals, 5 clearances, 5 inside 50's, 496 metres gained and an assist. Andrews 3 contested marks and 9 intercepts.
