Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The Brisbane Lions are now clear second favourites in 2022 AFL Premiership betting at $6.00 despite suffering their first loss of the season against Geelong last Friday night at GMHBA Stadium.
Chris Fagan and his men can feel a little hard done by with some contentious umpiring decisions late on, but he’ll also be disappointed about some keys stats throughout the game.
They had 10 less scoring shots (25-15), 22 less inside 50s (60-42), 20 less hit outs (45-25 and 13 less tackles (62-49).
Collingwood started the season winning their first two games but have now suffered back to back losses at the hands of Geelong and West Coast.
The difference for Brisbane this season so far has been the 2020 Brownlow Medalist Lachie Neale, who by his own standards had a poor 2021.
The ex Fremantle Docker leads the competition in total clearances with 35 which is 8.8 per game.
He is averaging 111.8 fantasy points per game and the Lions have won 11 of their last 12 games at The Gabba.
