Last weekend witnessed a resounding triumph for the Lions over Richmond, as they secured a comprehensive 81-point victory. Joe Daniher displayed his remarkable skills by scoring five goals, while Hugh McLuggage and Lachie Neale showcased their dominance on the field with 34 disposals each. This remarkable win marked the seventh consecutive triumph for the Lions at their home ground in 2023.

In the upcoming Round 17, Brisbane is determined to solidify their position in the top four by emerging victorious against West Coast. The Lions currently hold the third position on the ladder, maintaining a comfortable two-game lead over their closest competitors.

The Eagles will witness significant additions to their lineup with the inclusion of Tim Kelly and Jeremy McGovern. However, the home side will be without the services of Josh Dunkley and Lincoln McCarthy. West Coast's strengthened lineup should prevent them from suffering another three-digit defeat, akin to the crushing losses they endured in Round 15 and 16 against Adelaide and Sydney, where they conceded 122 and 171 points respectively while playing away. Nevertheless, the Lions are in scintillating form, and if the Eagles fail to replicate their commendable performance from last weekend, it is plausible that the Lions might surpass the substantial line handicap of 81 points.

Simultaneously, in the same weekend, West Coast experienced their closest opportunity to victory since Round 2, but ultimately suffered an eight-point loss to St Kilda. The Eagles held a commanding 24-point lead at half-time during the Optus Stadium clash, only to be outplayed in the second half. Shannon Hurn, with his 30 disposals, and Luke Shuey, with 28 disposals, spearheaded the charge for an improbable triumph, but fate had other plans.
