AFL Brisbane Lions vs GWS Giants betting tips & odds | 28/5/22

Can the Lions bounce back after a surprise loss when they face the Giants at the Gabba in round 11 of the 2022 AFL Premiership season?

The Lions arrived in Tasmania in tip top form. The field is an unfamiliar one and punters were unsure how the game would play out. The island state is not renowned for its sunny Winter weather, but viewers were delivered an old-fashioned shoot-out with both teams kicking past the century. The sun shone, the grass was green, and many goals were kicked.

The Brisbane Lions ultimately came up short by 5 points, but betting markets are confident that this represents a minor hiccup rather than a serious season setback.

As predicted by the Iron Law of New Coaches, GWS produced something closer resembling their best form in round 10. The Giants also breezed through the century line kicking an impressive 138 points, albeit versus the depleted Eagles.

We hate sporting teams that punch below their weight. The GWS Giants have a very good team on paper, have been afforded all kinds of favours at the draft, and should be a top 8 side. We will now see if their poor 2022 form has been the result of coaching issues. A solid performance against the second ranked side in the comp will be positive step.

Key Match-up: Jarryd Lyons vs Harry Perryman

Jarryd Lyons had a big game in round 10 grabbing 32 disposals and laying 7 tackles. The only stat missing from his scorecard was a goal, with Lyons booting 2 behinds. Lyons worked in seamless unison with Daniel Rich, whose piercing left boot routinely transitions the Lions from defence to attack. Harry Perryman is a bright, up-coming midfield talent for the Giants. Just 23 years old he had a huge game against the Eagles, grabbing 30 disposals, laying 6 tackles, and booting a goal in a breakout performance. Perryman averages 23 disposals in 2022 and is building into an elite player. It will be very interesting to see how he matches up against the stacked Brisbane centre and Lyons in particular.

Brisbane Lions vs GWS Giants Betting Strategy

The Lions are very short here on the strengths of their record at the Gabba, winning 13 out of the last 14 homes games. The line has been set at a teasing 33.5 points, and total points at a high 174.5. With both teams coming off big totals, are we looking at another potential shoot-out, or will one team look to strategically slow the play and control possession? We are sticking with the Lions to put up a solid total here and the official tip is Brisbane -33.5 points, available on Betfair. The Giants still have plenty of catching up to do and we expect them to be over-run.
