The Brisbane Lions have eked out their 10th win of the season, downing a brave St Kilda by 21 points in a scrappy, stop-start match in which both sides were hit by injuries.
But it was the unlucky Saints who ran out of legs, and the final margin may, if anything, have flattered the home side, who were coming off six-day break and look desperate for the bye. It wasn’t a convincing win, but they’ll take it against top-eight opposition. The first half was a grind, with the Saints dominating the early exchanges without punishing the Lions on the scoreboard. The home side looked stricken with self-doubt, unable to get any flow in their ball movement.But the most valuable player for either side in the first half was the umpires. Of the eight first-half goals, six came from free kicks. There was no real arguing with any of them, either – not without giving a 50 away, anyway.
The review sucked away a little of the home side’s momentum, and the Saints hung in. Jack Higgins’ tireless running was rewarded with his first major, and Jade Gresham kept them within three points at the last change.
