    Four things to watch: Lions v Dogs
    Aug 2, 2019 10:21PM

    1. The Gabba
    The Brisbane Lions have made the Gabba a tough place for opposition teams to win in 2019.
    Outside of a 10-goal loss to Collingwood in round five, the Lions have not dropped a game on their home deck this season.
    They’ve won their past five at the Gabba – and their past six matches overall in 2019.
    The Lions are red-hot, and it will take the Bulldogs’ best to stop them.

    2. Naughton v Andrews
    Two of the competition’s most exciting key position players could go head-to-head on Sunday – Aaron Naughton and Harris Andrews.
    The duo spent time on each other earlier this year in Ballarat, with Naughton kicking three goals to have an impact on the result.
    Naughton has had an impressive second year at AFL level after being swung forward, kicking 23 goals and claiming 40 contested marks – 23 more than the next best Bulldog, Marcus Bontempelli.
    But Andrews has emerged as one of the competition’s best defenders – on average he effects more than 10 spoils per game in 2019.

    3. The midfield battle
    The midfield battle is always crucial, and this week is no exception.
    Last time the Dogs and Lions met, the Dogs led most of the key indicators – from disposals, to clearances, inside-50s and tackles.
    But they won’t be expecting things all their own way.
    Lachie Neale, Dayne Zorko and Jarryd Lyons have been in superb form in recent weeks, with plenty of support – think Hugh McCluggage, Mitch Robinson and Jarrod Berry.
    The Bulldogs’ midfield is equally potent, led by the likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Lachie Hunter, Jack Macrae and Josh Dunkley.

    4. The record
    The Bulldogs have the wood over the Lions in recent times – they’ve won the past five.
    But in the last three meetings, little has separated the two teams – with the margins at 16, 14 and 14 points.
    This week’s match looms as the most important the teams have played in recent times.
    The Lions are in the hunt for a top-four spot come finals, while a win keeps the Bulldogs’ finals aspirations alive.

    Biggest game of the season. We’ll know by quarter time if we’re any chance.

    LFG!
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    This fixture doesn’t deserve Sunday twilight but when they were doing the fixture they didn’t predict that this would be a big game. The 4:40pm time slot even when we are playing away are not the best.

    I think we'll be put out of our misery early. We're not quite there yet. I hope I'm wrong but I think we're looking at a 4 goal loss. They're beatable up there no doubt the Norf game showed us that but we can't sustain either the pressure or skill level across four quarters giving me zero confidence in this one.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Ten players under 23, go youth. I think we'll do well today.
