Can Cats add to Tiger turmoil?

EDITOR’S LETTER
ll roads lead to Metricon Stadium on Friday night for what shapes as the best game of the season when Geelong meets Richmond. While Port Adelaide sits atop the ladder and Brisbane continues winning, there nevertheless remains a strong belief that the Cats and Tigers are the two teams most likely to win the premiership. Geelong comes into the game having won its past six games, with the most recent last Sunday’s 66-point demolition of Essendon at the Gabba. Never mind the final score, this one was over by half-time, with the Cats 59 points up and in complete control. With just five days to prepare for the Richmond game, Geelong eased its way through the second half as coach Chris Scott started the enviable task of determining how to squeeze Zach Tuohy, Rhys Stanley and most likely skipper Joel Selwood into a line-up that is positively humming. Gary Ablett should return a week after that. The Cats are enjoying a career-best season from Sam Menegola, while another four goals from spearhead Tom Hawkins catapulted him to a u “And the winner is …
nine-goal lead in the race for the Coleman Medal. At 32, he is also playing as well as ever, as is Patrick Dangerfield. “We’ve found some cohesion and our system and understand it is quite robust at the moment, but we’re not the perfect team by any stretch,’’ Scott said after the Essendon game. The Tigers carry a four-game winning streak into Friday night and will have enjoyed a nine-day break. But the contrasts between the clubs could not be more stark. The Cats have been happy campers from the moment they flew out of Victoria back in July. The Tigers could not have made their displeasure more clear. Skipper Trent Cotchin had to be talked out of leaving Queensland and returning home in the aftermath of his wife Brooke’s day spa Instagram post. Coach Damien Hardwick played the man in a post-match media conference in response to some criticism of the Tigers from former Melbourne star, now media pundit, David Schwarz. For a while, Richmond appeared to come under intense scrutiny from AFL Match Review Officer Michael Christian due to on-field incidents. But these were dwarfed, however, when in the early hours of last Friday morning, Tigers players Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones were thrown out of a Gold Coast strip club and then arrested following a brawl outside a nearby kebab shop. The pair, who had been drinking heavily and had broken AFL rules just by leaving the club’s Southport headquarters, were
Sydney.” That was how former International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch memorably revealed the host city for the 2000 Olympic Games back in 1993. Fast forward 27 years as AFL CEO Gill McLachlan announced that the Gabba will host the 2020 Grand Final.
It’s probably not up there with old JAS – and he didn’t mispronounce the Gabba as Samaranch did with ‘Sydeee’ – but hey, it was a watershed moment in our game’s history. It was not quite like: “Where were you the day the Grand Final left Victoria?” But the September 2 announcement, while hardly a bombshell, means there will be a historic

both suspended for 10 games and the club, because it was a second offence, was fined $100,000. “Disbelief, anger, bewilderment, all those responses. The players knew the protocols, they’ve been drummed into players consistently, there’s been a number of high profile examples that reinforce the standards that are expected,” Tiger chief executive Brendon Gale said. Richmond’s culture of selflessness and caring, which played such a large part in the march towards two of the past three premierships, has been shattered. Yet it adds another intriguing layer to Friday night. The Tigers have been racking up the wins, in spite of everything.
full stop on a season like no other come October 24. There might have been some gnashing of teeth in Western Australia and South Australia given their status as traditional football states – and the fact their respective capital cities boast outstanding venues. But it came down to the key part of McLachlan’s announcement. It will, he said,
provide “a lasting legacy” throughout Queensland. The Queensland sporting landscape will see the AFL make significant inroads. It’s been a long and at times bumpy road, but the 2020 Grand Final announcement could not have come at a better time and the game will surely benefit in the long term. Well played Queensland.

ONE WEEK at a TIME Whatever might be taking place off the ground, it gets compartmentalised every time they cross the white line to play. The teams met twice last year. The Cats thrashed the below-strength Tigers by 67 points at the MCG in round 12. They met again in the preliminary final, and at half-time Geelong led by 21 points and appeared in command. But the Tigers kicked eight goals to two in the second half to win by 19 points.
The stakes are different this time around
The stakes are different this time around. Where Geelong and Richmond would play their ‘home’ finals remains unclear at this stage, but a stumble by the fourth-placed Tigers on Friday night and two wins by West Coast (fifth) to complete its season would relegate them to fifth place and an elimination final. As mighty as they are, and even feeling as though the footy world is against them, that might be a bridge too far for the Tigers to overcome in 2020, so Friday night is massive.

A grand reward for rescuing the game
MOMENT IN THE SUN: AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan’s announcement of the historic Gabba Grand Final was welcomed by Lions chief Greg Swann (below left).
B
ASHLEY BROWNE
risbane Lions chief executive Greg Swann awoke last Thursday, checked his phone and discovered he had a whole lot of new best friends. The 2020 AFL Grand Final is on its way to the Gabba and the rush is on to be among the 30,000 in attendance at the most historic premiership decider ever played. It will be the first Grand Final not played at the MCG since 1991 – when it was moved across town to Waverley Park while the Great Southern Stand was being constructed – and the first to be played outside Victoria. “We’ve become the footy capital of Australia,” Swann chuckled as he spoke to the AFL Record. But he understands the significance of the decision by the AFL to relocate the Grand Final, as a one-off move, with the MCG unable to host the game because of COVID-19, which has shut down not just football, but pretty much everything of note in Melbourne. And nor is Swann gloating. He might have spent the past six years overseeing the Lions, but he is a Williamstown boy, a premiership defender with its VFA club and a former chief executive of both Collingwood and Carlton. He is as Victorian as the clocks at Flinders St Station. “I’ve had a quiet moment to reflect as a Victorian,” he said. “In my wildest dreams I couldn’t have foreseen it. To think it’s not going to be played there is mind-boggling.” But also necessary. And deservedly in Queensland. It was the Sunshine State that came to the game’s rescue when at first the two West Australian clubs needed to relocate in order to get the season back under way in the middle of June. By the time the home and away season reaches its conclusion next weekend, the only clubs to not

be operating out of Queensland are the two Adelaide-based sides and Hawthorn, which has been hubbing in the Barossa Valley. South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales also went hard for the Grand Final. Adelaide Oval is the standby location in the unlikely event that a sudden snowball in COVID cases forces Queensland to shut down. Perth’s award-winning Optus Stadium would doubtless have presented the most spectacular Grand Final, but WA’s tough border rules, which would have required everyone travelling to the game to

endure a week-long hard lockdown in the lead-up, made it too difficult from a practical point of view. It will be the most fundamentally different finals series imaginable. The pre-finals bye week has been maintained in order to give the AFL maximum scheduling options for the opening week. All the finals will be played through October, with West Coast a chance to play a home final in week one, but not after that. The Brownlow Medal will be held on the Gold Coast, perhaps on the Sunday night before the Grand Final. And the game itself will be the first to be played at night, with the opening bounce likely to be around 6pm which, because of daylight savings, will be 7pm in Victoria. The AFL had promised not to play the game at the same time as the big Cox Plate race meeting at Moonee Valley. If the TV ratings spike, then talk of future Grand Finals back at the MCG being played later in the day will only magnify. The Gabba, which has a listed capacity for AFL games of 42,000, will be close to 75 per cent full.

Much of the interior of the stadium had been upgraded ahead of the T20 World Cup, planned for November. That has now been scrapped, but a stroke of good fortune for the AFL is that its season-decider will be played in a refurbished stadium. AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan admitted that the efforts by the Queensland government to get the season going was a factor in awarding the Grand Final to the Gabba. “I think, in the end, in Queensland there was a view around the industry that, given all the work they had done to help us, with so many teams based up here, that that is probably the overriding factor,” McLachlan said. Added Swann: “There was no obligation to play it up here, but there was certainly a feeling of goodwill. Queensland deserves universal praise for doing the right thing.” In order to move the Grand Final for the season, the AFL extended by one year to 2058 the agreement it had with the Victorian government and the Melbourne Cricket Club to play the Grand Final exclusively at the MCG.
HISTORIC: This year’s Grand Final at the Gabba (above) will be the first played outside Victoria and just the 11th not at the MCG (right).

The NAB AFL Draft has been guaranteed for Melbourne in 2021 and 2022 and the MCG will receive additional home and away games in those seasons as well. “You need weeks to lead into an event as big as that and it’s not fair to say, ‘Well, we have a contract and we want it honoured even though we know we can’t provide the AFL with the lead-in time they need’,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said. “I think the notion of having a Grand Final with no crowds when there are alternatives ... I don’t think that would be fair.”

espite the uncertainty heading into next season with list sizes – which was called out by Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson last week – clubs are not hesitating to make sure their key long-term assets are putting pen to paper. A raft of re-signings were announced last week, headed by Port Adelaide which signed key forward Charlie Dixon and tough midfielder Sam Powell-Pepper to new deals. Dixon, 29, who has booted 29 goals through 14 games this year, has signed a three-year contract extension that will keep him at Alberton until at least the end of 2023. “We’ve got a great group of young players coming through and I love being here and playing with them,” said Dixon, the charismatic fan favourite at the Power. Another favourite is the hard-at-it Powell-Pepper, who the club desperately wanted to retain on the back of a 2020 campaign marked by new levels of consistency. “The people here are like family and it feels like home. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together this year and in the future,” the 22-year-old from Western Australia said. Gold Coast’s player retention issues also appear to be becoming u FOOTY FUNNIES – Bob Dikkenberg

250 GAMES a thing of the past, with first-year midfielder Noah Anderson joining fellow young guns Matt Rowell, Ben King, Izak Rankine and Jack Lukosius in committing to the club for the next few seasons. Anderson, the No. 2 pick at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft, has played every game this season as an outside midfielder. He said it was an easy decision to sign on until the end of 2023. “We’ve got a pretty young group up here and I’m already really close with a lot of the boys,” he said. “It’s really exciting what we’re trying to build as a football club on the Coast and I really like the brand of football we’re trying to play.” The new deal for GWS Giants coach Leon Cameron was agreed on in principle before the start of the season, on the back of the club making its first Grand Final in 2019. But the complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic delayed it being made formal until last week.
“Leon is an outstanding coach who has led this club to victories in the last four finals series as well as our maiden Grand Final appearance,” Giants general manager of football Jason McCartney said. “Leon has been central to building the strong culture of the Giants, which has grown rapidly both on and off-field under his guidance.” St Kilda midfielder Jack Steele’s breakout season has also been rewarded with the former Giant signing on until the end of 2022.

hat Scott Pendlebury is one of the greats of the Collingwood Football Club is beyond debate. But on Monday night at the Gabba he will enter the conversation when it comes to the greatest player in club history when he plays his 313rd game. In doing so he will equal two records at the famous old club. The first is Tony Shaw’s record for the most games played, while his 161st appearance as captain will draw him level with Nathan Buckley, his longtime coach. Pendlebury has been a fantastic servant of the Magpies and one of the most respected players in the game. Even those who revile Collingwood usually draw the line when it comes to the 32-year-old. His record speaks for itself. Third in the 2011 Brownlow Medal, a five-time Copeland Trophy winner, six-time All-Australian, 2010 Norm Smith medallist and premiership player. The former Gippsland Falcon was the fifth selection at the 2005 NAB AFL draft and is the poster boy for basketballers who chose to play football instead. His smooth moving, his running patterns, rapid-fire decision-making and skills, especially by hand, all speak to his basketball background and that is no surprise. He was on his way to a terrific career in that sport before football won his heart. The question is where he ranks in the pantheon of Magpie greats. Any discussion about the champions of Collingwood usually starts, in chronological order, with Dick Lee and goes on to include Syd and Gordon Coventry, Harry and Albert Collier, Des Fothergill, Lou Richards, Bob Rose, Des Tuddenham, Len Thompson, Peter McKenna, Peter Moore, Tony Shaw, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan and Buckley. Pendlebury is absolutely worthy of inclusion in that group, although former Hawthorn and Western

Bulldogs champion and Bulldogs and Tiger coach Terry Wallace took that a step further on SEN 1116 earlier this year. “The great players of this era – 600 disposals in a season – there’s three players that have done it five times, Patrick Dangerfield, Josh Kennedy, Kane Cornes,” he said. “Now, six times 600 disposals-plus – Matthew Boyd, Scott West, Dane Swan. “Now, seven times, Gary Ablett, Sam Mitchell and Joel Selwood. “Eight times, one standalone, Scott Pendlebury. “He, to me, is now Collingwood’s greatest player ever.” Pendlebury has racked up 281 disposals through 11 games in 2020.

premiership hopes have suffered a dent with All-Australian key defender Harris Andrews unlikely to play until well into the finals after a serious hamstring injury last weekend. He left the ground during the game against Collingwood, but what appeared to be a routine hamstring strain was later determined to be a serious tear that will likely keep him out for up to six weeks. It would mean a return for the preliminary final if the Lions make it that far. “Our medicos do a really good job though – Cam Rayner came back earlier than we thought – so we’ll back their judgment,” Lions head of football David Noble told AFL.com.au. Rayner came back nearly two weeks ahead of schedule after a hamstring strain. Meanwhile, West Coast’s injury list is becoming alarmingly long as the finals approach. Champion intercept defender Jeremy McGovern has an injured thumb, while midfielder Mark Hutchings has a hamstring strain. Fellow midfielders Elliot Yeo (groin) and Luke Shuey (hamstring) are also missing with the finals just weeks away. Collingwood’s Tom Phillips (hamstring) and Port Adelaide’s Ryan Burton (quadriceps) also suffered injury setbacks last weekend. ASHLEY BROWNE

A FOOTY SPIN ON A CRICKET GREAT He is one of the best-known sportsmen our country has produced. But cricketing legend Shane Warne, who now has his own fragrance range, was once a more than handy footballer. He reflects on his footy career with ASHLEY BROWNE. Cricket has given you a fantastic life, but do you ever think of what might have been had you played League football instead? Football did me a favour. I loved football but unfortunately I wasn’t good enough so I had to take up cricket. I went from a local game to an international game, so I was pretty fortunate to fall into cricket, doing pretty well and travelling the world. I was happy with that. But all I ever wanted to do was to play football. I loved it. That was my dream.
I have the AFL Live app now so I can always watch the games, but when I was playing, it was a bit more difficult so I used to get my PA to send me over a DVD of the St Kilda game that the AFL would sort out for me. I didn’t miss too much at all. These days, Aaron Hamill, the assistant coach, is one of my best mates and I’m also close to Andrew Bassat, the club president. I still have a lot of connections and try to help them out when I can. Sponsorship, advice, chatting to players … I’m always there to help.
You are a Saints fan, but grew up a Hawthorn supporter, didn’t you? The first jumper I ever got was from my cousin. He gave me a jumper with the No. 24 on it which was Peter Knights and at school I used to use tracing paper over the Hawthorn team list and write Alle De Wolde, Norm Goss, Michael Tuck and Leigh Matthews and I used to be able to do all their signatures. That was pretty cool.
What positions did you play? I was always the full-forward.
Were you one of those “get out of my area and leave the inside 50 to me” type of full-forwards, or were you fast on the lead? I was pretty quick over a short distance, a good lead, good pair of hands and a pretty safe and accurate kick. That was my game. But as I came up through the system and trained with the seniors for three months, they were so much quicker and taller. I was 183cm, not quite tall enough to play a key position and not fast enough to play half-forward. And I guess that’s the reason why I never got a gig.
What are your recollections of your one reserves game for St Kilda against Carlton in 1988? Not many because I was as crook as a dog on the Friday night. I’d been in bed all week, but I had to try and play. I lined up at full-forward and the instruction was to clear out the 50m area and leave the space for me. The ball came down in the
Chemist Warehouse Shane Warne Advertorial 275.indd 13
first couple of minutes and the full-back, who was about six foot-six (198cm), marked it and ran off. I then got moved to half-forward and their half-back line was Mil Hanna, Jamie Dunlop and Steve Da Rui. I hardly got a kick, I couldn’t run, I couldn’t do anything. In the last quarter I was one-on-one in the goalsquare and the umpire paid me a free kick for too high. But Micky Dwyer grabbed the ball ran in and kicked the goal and the umpire paid advantage and all clear. I could have had this kick in the goalsquare in front of a packed crowd with the seniors about to play.
Was the Saints Disco still big when you played there? Ah, yes. From 1986 to 1988 it was still very big and Trevor Barker went on to become one of my best mates. He gave me my first nickname, ‘Hollywood’. We stuck together a lot until he passed away from cancer in 1996. We were as thick as thieves.
When you play cricket around the world, especially during the Australian winter, how important was keeping the connection to the footy?
SCENT OF SUCCESS:
Cricket legend Shane Warne, who played one game for St Kilda reserves, has launched a debut fragrance.
Apart from yourself, who was the best footballer among the cricketers you played with? Brad Hodge was a very good footballer, Ricky Ponting was a very good kick. But what was always amazing was that the New South Welshmen could never kick a footy properly, while us Victorians, South Australians and West Australians could never throw the rugby ball like they could. It looked so easy. Mark Waugh was the exception. He was good at every sport.
Tell us about your new fragrance and why you’ve chosen to support My Room Children’s Cancer Charity. To join forces with Chemist Warehouse I’m proud of that partnership because they’re great people and to work with their people was an amazing process. I didn’t realise there’s so much to it. I got 12 samples from a lab in New York sent to me, I walked around wearing them for two months, decided what I liked and then we came up with something. And we decided it has been such a difficult time for charities because they haven’t been able to do events, so we decided that 100 per cent of all the profits will go straight to My Room and we’re pretty proud of that. Hopefully we can make a significant difference.

What I’m thinking with Ashley Browne
Crisis creates a night move A football budget black hole might mean a later Grand Final start is here forever.
I
n recent years, there has never been a more divisive and, in most cases, emotional issue in footy than the starting time for the Grand Final. For the traditionalists, the matter is clearcut. The opening bounce should be 2.30pm, with the sun glistening down on the MCG as the red Sherrin is held aloft in the air by the umpire. Who can argue? It is one of the great moments of the year, as the excitement and the anticipation at the MCG reaches fever pitch ahead of the deafening roar that greets the opening bounce. It is a spine-tingling moment for those fortunate enough to be there. The progressives get all that. But they want something more. They look around the world and believe the Grand Final could be, well, grander if the AFL fell into line with major international sporting title deciders overseas. The pomp and pageantry around the Grand Final started in the mid-1950s when then VFL president Sir Kenneth Luke attended an FA Cup final at Wembley. It was in 1959 that the premiership cup was first struck and in 1977, under the leadership of the younger, brasher Dr Allen Aylett, that the League added a few more bells and whistles such as pre-game entertainment and a live telecast. And it has continued to evolve since then, with many high points and a handful of lows. What hasn’t changed is the starting time. By sticking to the
14 AFL RECORD
2.30pm opening bounce, AFL CEO Gill McLachlan has paid more heed to the traditionalists than they give him credit for. The fact that the start time is up for discussion seemingly every year is enough for them to be outraged, never mind that McLachlan, at heart, is one of them. This year, there is no choice. Victoria’s COVID crisis dictates that the Grand Final not only move to the Gabba, but start around 6pm local time (7pm in Victoria). Not only will it be the first Grand Final outside Victoria, but the evening timeslot means yellow Sherrin balls will be used for the first time. The later start brings the AFL Grand Final in line with pretty much every major sporting competition around the world. The NFL’s Super Bowl kicks off at 6.25pm on the United States east coast, irrespective of where it is played. Every NBA and NHL final, as well as baseball World Series games, are played at night. So too are major global soccer finals such as the Champions League. Even the aforementioned FA Cup has moved back by two hours to a 5pm start in the past few years. And why? TV dollars. The later the better for broadcasters. The Grand Final generally attracts more eyeballs in Australia than its NRL counterpart, which starts around 7pm, a reflection of the broader national appeal of the AFL.

TV dollars. The later the better for broadcasters
But the crown jewel of the NRL when it comes to TV is State of Origin and, in 2019, 3.2 million watched Game 1, which kicked off around 7.30pm, compared with the AFL Grand Final, which was watched by 2.94 million people. The 2020 Grand Final becomes the ideal petri dish for the AFL. With 70,000 fewer people at the game and a reduction in the number of mass gatherings to watch the game because of social distancing, more TV sets will be tuned in than ever before. Figures of up to five million have been floated and while that might be wishful thinking, it is likely to be enormous and will give the AFL much food for thought. The extra revenue a later start to the Grand Final can bring to the game through additional advertising and sponsorship might be a carrot too hard for the League to resist in the future, especially off the back of a pandemic that has blown a $400 million hole in the AFL’s bank balance and has changed the economics of the game forever.

u After three games out of the
Richmond side, Jack Graham has returned with great effect over the past few weeks. His role as a combative midfielder is understated when he is at his best and, since his return in round 12, he has had a strong impact in and around the contest for the Tigers. In the impressive round 14 victory over West Coast, the 22-year-old produced one of his strongest performances of 2020. According to Champion Data, Graham was comfortably the best pressure player of the round with a massive 80.4 pressure points, which came with 37 pressure acts and three tackles. He also chimed in with 16 possessions and a goal. He backed up that good form in round 15 when the Tigers produced a workmanlike victory over Fremantle. The 2017 premiership player again led the way on the pressure front for the yellow and black, finishing the night with 45 pressure points from 21 pressure acts. He also had 18 disposals and again kicked a goal. While Graham is out of contract this year, his recent performances will no doubt go a long way to earning him a new deal with the Tigers.

HARRISON JEFFERSON, NEW YORK, USA LE: The Simpsons have had a big impact on culture, television and the world since the first episode aired on December 17, 1989. The only Bart to play League football was St Kilda’s Bart Dinsmore, who played two games in 1903. It’s been 59 years since the last Otto took to the field. The Swans’ Otto Sonnleitner played three matches in 1961. Richmond Hall of Famer Barney Herbert was a superstar back in the early 1910s through to the early 1920s, playing in two premierships and twice representing Victoria. Collingwood’s Lou Richards led his side to a premiership in 1953 and won the club’s leading goalkicker award three times. Lenny Hayes was a champion for St Kilda, playing 297 games. He was a three-time All-Australian, won three club best and fairest awards and was a Norm Smith medallist. There have been 17 Simpsons to have played the game at the top level, but there has never been a Homer or a Marge to have played AFL or AFLW. D’oh!

Fremantle forward Jesse Hogan is Gaelic in origin. In Gaelic it is Ó hÓgáin (“descendant of Ogan”). Ogan was a nickname for “young man”. Although now 25, injuries have meant Jesse is still relatively young in experience. Seventeen other Hogans have appeared on AFL/VFL arenas, the most notable being Joe (St Kilda 1897-1906), Kevin (South Melbourne 1950s) and Peter (Richmond 1960s). Youth has also been represented by players named Young, of which there have been 30, the most prominent being Hawthorn premiership players Garry (1961) and Clinton (2008), along with St Kilda goalkickers Bill (1956-61) and George (1973-78).

than ever have been played, Fantasy coaches have got some epic scores from the most important members of their teams, the cash cows. Gold Coast’s Matt Rowell made an outstanding debut before suffering a season-ending injury. The No. 1 pick in last year’s NAB AFL Draft scored 64, 108, 104 and 78 before a tackle in round five saw him sidelined on zero. In Rowell’s five matches, he increased $257,000, ranking him as the third-highest earning rookie this year. An amazing effort considering he played a handful of games. Richmond’s Marlion Pickett and Fremantle’s Caleb Serong top the list for dollars earned. The Docker has been outstanding with three scores of 90 or more to his name.

The in-form Hawk mid was unfortunately struck down with a shoulder injury on just 43 points last week in a disappointing blow for his three per cent of coaches. He needs to be moved on.
JY SIMPKIN
NORTH MELBOURNE MID/FWD
Although he has had a below-par season, Crisp has bounced back in the past two rounds with scores of 116 and 121. He is the form player of the competition and is a ‘must have’ for the last two games.
The Eagles wingman was completely shut down against the Dogs in a poor performance where he managed just one mark and 15 possessions for a score of 44. He won’t do that again.
After an outstanding start to the season following a move to the midfield, Simpkin has dropped off significantly and to rub salt into the wound was knocked out on just 31 points and is unlikely to get up for the next round.

The Crows have been the easiest team to score Fantasy points against this year, but the Hawks and Bombers have also been giving up plenty of late. The Power and Dogs should rack up plenty this weekend.
Round 17 is the preliminary finals round. The top four teams play off for a place in next week’s Grand Final. My trading strategy is to sideways underperforming premiums for those with nice fixtures.
Using the VC loophole due to the rolling lockout may help gain bonus points. My usual captain Lachie Neale plays in the second last game, so I’ll find someone in a prior game such as the Bulldogs v the Hawks.

COLLINGWOOD
For many coaches, he has outscored the players he was upgraded to in recent weeks. Also producing numbers that are worthy of on-field scores recently is Hawthorn’s first-round draftee Will Day. The final defender upgrade could have waited with his five-round average of 67 – which is as good as some top-dollar premiums in the backline. Izak Rankine made his debut in round six and pocketed around $240,000 to be the best of the forwards. With a couple of games to go, Jake Riccardi, has put his hand up as the best late-season pick-up with scores of 87 and 83 in his first two matches. Sam Draper has also been a serviceable ruck for the Bombers while providing insurance on the bench for Fantasy coaches.

Swans v Lions
ROUND
17
HEAD to HEAD

Played 52: Sydney Swans 29, Brisbane Lions 22, draws 1. Since 2016: Sydney Swans 3, Brisbane Lions 1. Most recent game: round 7, 2019, Sydney Swans lost to Brisbane Lions by 22 points at the Gabba. Highest attendance: 71,019, first preliminary final, 2003, at Stadium Australia.
SYDNEY SWANS
Match Preview
Brought to you by
u Rebuilding on the run has been the story for Sydney in 2020 and the Swans get the chance to put their incremental improvement to the test against one of the game’s best sides, Brisbane, at Cazalys Stadium in Cairns on Sunday. Even though John Longmire’s side sits in the bottom four, the strides it has made in bedding in its next generation of players this season has it well placed for the future. James Rowbottom, Jordan Dawson, Tom McCartin and Nick Blakey have all cemented their spot in Sydney’s best side in the medium to long term. Fresh off a clash against Carlton and, before that an impressive 21-point
win over Melbourne, the Swans will face a Lions side coming off a four-day break after the QClash against Gold Coast. It’s been a while since these sides have played, with their last meeting coming way back in round seven last year when Brisbane won by 22 points. The Lions are positioning themselves well for a premiership tilt, but first must negotiate a tricky match-up against a Sydney side that shouldn’t be underestimated. LAURENCE ROSEN
Prediction: Brisbane Lions by 14 points
Highest score: 22.17 (149), round 17, 1998, at the Gabba. Lowest score: 8.8 (56), first preliminary final, 2003, at Stadium Australia. Home record: 16-10. Away record: 13-12-1. Greatest winning margin: 84 points, round 20, 2005, at Stadium Australia. Longest winning sequence: 11, round 6, 2010, to round 10, 2018. Most goals in a game: 11, Tony Lockett, round 9, 1996, at the SCG.
BRISBANE LIONS
Highest score: 33.21 (219), round 8, 1993, at the Gabba. Lowest score: 6.4 (40), round 20, 2005, at the Stadium Australia; 6.4 (40), round 21, 2006, at Stadium Australia. Away record: 10-16. Home record: 12-13-1. Greatest winning margin: 162 points, round 8, 1993, at the Gabba. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 23, 1992, to round 18, 1995; round 13, 1999, to round 16, 2002. Most goals in a game: 8, John Hutton, round 23, 1992, at Carrara; Michael Murphy, round 8, 1993, at the Gabba; Roger Merrett, round 8, 1993, at the Gabba.
