As we all know by now, the Eagles are suffering the season from hell, with less than 22 players to choose from, forced (again) to dip into the WAFL reserves to ...
The former No. 1 pick is looking better by the week, at one point shoving Hurn, with 309 games to his name, out of the way to mark. Cam Rayner was another, despite a glitch on the stroke of half-time, taking a step off his line a second after the siren. Mind you, the Eagles had 1.1 on the board. By half-time, the predicted massacre wasn’t happening, with the Lions having kicked just the five goals. With Joe Daniher hurting a shoulder last week, the home side suddenly lacked a key forward. And still, the record books are safe.
Here we will talk about when, where, and how to live stream the Brisbane vs West Coast, watch on TV, and previews and predictions.
Brisbane will put their feet on the Gabba as their favorite team. The Lions vs Eagles match will be shown on some unauthorized sites too. They are in the last position on the ranking board. However, the Lions are always the best in the game. Most of the Eagle’s best players are out of the field cause of sickness. Brisbane Lions is the top-ranked team in the AFL tournament.
Lions set club record as Eagles buried in 'deflating' end to horror week: The 3-2-1.
“He’s not really defending the kicker. When they get the ball back, they are just struggling in that transitional run. The Eagles headed into the match with just 20 fit AFL-listed players. He’s not impacting the play. His tackle on Cameron prevented another goal with the Lions goalsneak caught trying to turn the veteran inside out. Hurn was the player of the first half, with 15 disposals as he continued to put his body on the line in the wet conditions. West Coast have only won three quarters of football in a month, but two goals in a minute to Liam Ryan gave the Eagles their best chance to win one against the Lions. The Lions dominated in the forward stats, with 68 inside 50s to 33, and 15 marks inside 50 to just six. “They are working so hard at the contest and working hard in defence. Fox Footy’s Alastair Lynch said McStay was clearly in “a lot of pain” as he was assessed on the bench. Hurn was the best of the Eagles in a tough opening term where the ball was camped down the Lions attack end. West Coast were “brave” in the 16.9 (105) to 4.6 (30) loss in wet conditions, with Liam Ryan kicking three of his team’s four goals.
An injury to Dan McStay tarnishes a commanding victory at the Gabba.
Tonight it was Cam Rayner who cost himself a goal. The jet-heeled small forward made the slippery ball seem dry, so clean was he in the air or on the ground. In round one against Port Adelaide Joe Daniher took a spectacular mark at the top of the goalsquare seconds before the main break and, totally unaware of the game situation, handballed to Nakia Cockatoo as the siren sounded. For the second time this season Brisbane fell victim to the half-time siren. McStay limped from the field during the opening quarter of the 16.9 (105) to 4.6 (30) triumph over a depleted West Coast and was immediately subbed out of the game. Despite the setback the Lions did as was expected and took care of the spirited Eagles to retain their spot in the top two with a fourth straight victory.
West Coast showed some guts and application, but they still suffered a fourth consecutive belting as Brisbane romped home to win by 75 points on Saturday ...

An undermanned West Coast hung tough for three quarters before Brisbane ran away with a 75-point AFL win at the Gabba.
Daniel McStay’s nasty ankle roll in the first quarter soured the host’s 16.9 (105) to 4.6 (30) win on Saturday night as the Eagles fronted up despite mass absences due to injury and illness. McStay joined fellow tall targets Joe Daniher (shoulder) and Eric Hipwood on the injury list, although Hipwood could return from his ACL tear next week. An undermanned West Coast scrapped valiantly and Brisbane lost another tall forward but the Lions still did as expected in a 75-point AFL romp at the Gabba.
One look at the 75-point margin and you'll probably scoff and put it down to another deplorable West Coast performance. But Eagles fans can walk away from this game content with the effort. Brisbane at the Gabba is a hard proposition for anyone, but in wet ...
But I suppose that goes with saying, I liked the efforts of Jamieson to get around the ground and compete. Brisbane are 7-1 and are continually breathing down the neck of Melbourne, who are currently undefeated, but will be bound to slip up eventually. But I was bothered by the lack of effort to shepherd Ryan Lester, it would’ve resulted in a goal to Jones. 58 hitouts and 12 to advantage for the pair. Three tackles might not sound like much, but 18 pressure acts as a forward is pretty nice numbers and something to work with going forward, after kicking three on the Swans last week. He went scoreless in this one, but 26 disposals, two goal assists, eight tackles and seven inside 50s at 85 percent efficiency is a big night in the office, regardless of the opposition. Out of his 27 disposals, he had eight intercept possessions and five intercept marks for the game. As far as keys go, well they’ve got Jack Payne, who despite kicking a goal in the third quarter, didn’t feature as prominently as he would hope. A bit harrowing thinking that a 34, going on 35-year old man is still trying to hold it down in the West Coast backline. Neale’s 10 clearances, including five from centre bounces, were instrumental in setting up a lot of Brisbane’s scoring chains in this game. But Eagles fans can walk away from this game content with the effort. One look at the 75-point margin and you’ll probably scoff and put it down to another deplorable West Coast performance.
