SUMMARY
Both sides should be fresh enough for this game after coming off the bye. The Lions have a point to prove after losing their first three games of the season but hardly disgracing themselves. Their first win can't be far away and it is not out of the question to see it coming this week.

The Saints are also yet to get their first win of the season and are under some pressure going into this match. But for a couple of kicks they could have at least two wins under their belt and would be in a good position.

Justin Koschitzke will be welcomed back into the fold after missing the early part of the pre-season with an ankle injury while the Lions will be just as excited to bring back Josh Drummond who looks set to return for his first game.

QUESTION MARKS
Can Koschitzke have an instant impact? For much of his career he has been burdened with big expectations. With a limited fitness base, it is unreasonable to expect him to star. But he adds another dimension to the side with the new substitute rule and he is the ideal forward/backup ruckman that is all the rage in 2011.

Can the Brisbane Lions do as their song suggests and kick the winning score? They are yet to crack 100 points in any of their three games so far and with Jonathan Brown out for a while yet, they are lacking firepower up forward.

Mitch Clark holds some of the answers as he is used increasingly as a tall forward option but they need a spread of goal kickers to help them over the line.

TOYOTA AFL DREAM TEAM WATCH:
Mitch Clark shone in the round three loss to Melbourne, racking up 125 points.

With Jonathan Brown absent through injury, Clark assumes a greater responsibility as a ruck/forward and the Lions will look to play through him.
