We don’t have a focus on any particular match-ups. If you spend time trying to restrict certain players in a strong team like Subiaco, you end up letting other players off the chain.

Ruckman Chris Keunen will return after playing reserves last week.
We used forward Michael Lourey in the ruck in our 62-point victory over Perth. He’ll be back in the forward line this week, but we will continue to add more versatility to his game when we can.
It will be a collective effort that decides the game, however.
The Lions’ evenness across all positions is their strength.
