Richmond hosts an in-form Brisbane on Saturday morning at the Swinburne Centre from 11.10am.

Despite Brisbane sitting atop the ladder undefeated, and Richmond eighth with an even ledger, these two sides play similar styles of footy, the Lions are just doing it more efficiently.

Richmond is third in the competition this season for inside 50s with 31.9 per game – the 14th most in AFLW history – but is simply not generating enough score from those entries. Alternatively, Brisbane is leading with 37.8 inside 50s per game and also going at the highest goal efficiency the competition has ever seen, kicking a goal from 25.8 per cent of its entries.  

Richmond's defence has stood strong this season, particularly last week against Essendon's attack without leader Bec Miller, and will be tested once again against the Lions.
