Match Report

Both sides’ finals credentials were on the line as Brisbane and St Kilda fought out a terrific contest. The Lions’ top-eight hopes were really slim before this match, they were now only mathematical after the 13-point loss – the same margin as the corresponding game in 2011. The Saints won their fourth straight match against the Lions and secured their place in eight for round 16. Scott Watters would have been delighted with the performances of his younger players, particularly Ahmed Saad (four goals) and Aaryn Sippos (two goals), when star midfielder Nick Dal Santo’s influence was quelled by Lions tagger Andrew Raines. It was a see-sawing contest, with the two teams going goal for goal for the majority of the night. The final 13-point result was the Saints’ biggest lead for the night. It was a fiery encounter as times, too, not surprisingly given the history these two teams have. Several incidents were looked at by the Match Review Panel.

COACHES COMMENTS
Michael Voss (Bris): The periods of time where we were dominating, the easy goals that came (from St Kilda) was frustrating. We just couldn't dry that part up. I certainly feel it is a lost opportunity. We'd just like to be sitting here with a win and getting reward for effort.

Scott Watters (StK): That was a gusty win. We always thought it was going to be that sort of contest ... they are a side we have a lot of respect for. The way that they are coming together as a group, we knew that we were going to be in for that sort of a contest. Umpires: McBurney, Hay, Jennings
