Josh Kennedy
The West Coast Eagles forward produced a superhuman effort the last time the two teams met in Round 1. Picked up in the famous Chris Judd trade of 2007, Kennedy has developed into one of the Eagles' key players. He had 25 disposals, 10 marks inside 50, eight inside 50s, eight goals to put on a clinic in front of a home crowd. Last year's Coleman Medallist will be one to watch on Saturday.
Matthew Priddis
The 2014 Brownlow Medallist had the ball on a string the last time the Eagles met with Brisbane. With 43 disposals, 12 clearances and five tackles the West Coast Eagles midfielder proved to be unstoppable. Averaging 28 disposals in 2016, Priddis looms as the Eagles' most dangerous player.
Mitch Robinson
The Lions' lock down player, Mitch Robinson will carry a heavy task on Saturday against the Eagles strong midfield brigade. The midfield depth of Priddis, Luke Shuey and Andrew Gaff will be difficult to control but Robinson has proven he can take it up to the best. A fortnight ago Robinson performed an outstanding run-with job on Bryce Gibbs, holding the Blues star to just 12 possessions while racking up 25 himself, 15 of them contested, and laying eight tackles. He also held Lachie Neale to 18 possessions in Fremantle's big win over the Lions last Saturday.
Daniel Rich
Fresh off a contract extension in round one, Rich was electric with 23 disposals, 11 tackles, eight inside 50s and two goals. Rich has been below his best and at a time when the Lions are pleading for their leaders to stand up, Rich will be looking to produce the form he showed in the season opener.
Josh Walker
In his debut game for the Lions in round one, Josh Walker finished with two goals, although he had opportunities to kick more. Walker hasn't played in the Club's senior side since the Round 8 loss to Collingwood. The forward's best game came in the Round 4 win over the SUNS when he was forced to step in for an injured Stefan Martin in the ruck. What will Walker produce on Saturday?
