Back-to-Back Premiers, a Gabba Fortress, and a Cats Side That Still Wears the Bruises.

Brisbane have Geelong’s number. They smashed the Cats by 47 in last year’s Grand Final, they put 41 on them at GMHBA in round 15 last winter, and Brisbane have won two of the three most recent meetings between these sides.

Both sides sit at six wins and three losses. Ladder positions are essentially identical. The market has the Lions by fifteen and a half. Our model has it at seventeen. That is alignment, not a value gap, but the direction matters. The Lions cover.

The Gabba in May, under lights, with a crowd that has watched two flags in two years, is the hardest assignment in the comp. Brisbane have won four of their last five and they have Will Ashcroft and Hugh McCluggage humming through the middle. The Lions average 41 clearances a game to Geelong’s 35, the same midfield edge that decided last September.

Geelong are dangerous when the forward line is humming and Patrick Dangerfield is at the contest, but they have lost their qualifying final swagger and dropped a game to Port Adelaide in the recent run. That 47-point Grand Final hammering is still in the bones.

Take the line. Lions by seventeen, the market wants fifteen and a half, and the Gabba does the rest.

Brisbane vs Geelong Tip

Back the Brisbane Lions minus 15.5 at $1.90; the model has the back-to-back premiers winning by 17 at the Gabba, where they have beaten Geelong twice in their last three meetings.
