St Kilda coach Ross Lyon will no doubt attempt to stifle a free-flowing Brisbane Lions outfit in Friday night football at the Gabba.
While Fremantle represent real value as the underdog against a hot-and-cold Western Bulldogs side.

Brisbane vs. St Kilda prediction, tip, best bet
The Lions seemed to have found their mojo with a big win over the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium last weekend.
St Kilda are struggling to score highly, but do seem to have their defensive game in great shape following two consecutive wins.
You can bet that Ross Lyon will be trying to contain Brisbane, while giving the Saints a chance to strike late.
This means the line is fairly high against an in-form St Kilda team defence.
Prediction: Brisbane by 14 points
Best bet: St Kilda +28.5 ($1.90)
Western Bulldogs vs. Fremantle prediction, tip, best bet
Without Aaron Naughton and Sam Darcy, the Bulldogs looked toothless in a defeat to Brisbane at Marvel Stadium.
Fresh off a bye, Fremantle will be keen to back up their 92-point thrashing of Melbourne in Alice Springs.
The Dockers won recently at Marvel Stadium against St Kilda and are definite value as an underdog.
Prediction: Fremantle by 26 points
Best bet: Fremantle to win ($2.20)
Adelaide vs. Sydney prediction, tip, best bet
It's hard to see any other result than a comfortable Sydney win - even at Adelaide Oval.
The Crows were shocked by lowly Richmond last week and it's going to be tough for them to bounce back.
Sydney were slow starters against Geelong but once they got going, it was business as usual for the premiership favourites.
They also have a strong record at Adelaide Oval, winning seven of their 12 matches.
Prediction: Sydney by 38 points
Best bet: Sydney -19.5 ($1.90)
GWS vs. Port Adelaide prediction, tip, best bet
We're backing the Giants to bounce back at home after a nightmare loss to Hawthorn in Tasmania after their bye last weekend.
It will be Port Adelaide's turn to come off the bye, with a disappointing home loss to Carlton their last result.
The Giants will be primed to get the job done at home against a team that hasn't been brilliant travellers over the seasons.
Prediction: GWS by 18 points
Best bet: GWS -7.5 ($1.90)
