We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.
BRISBANE v SYDNEY
Sunday 21 July @ Gabba
A really good game starts the Sunday fare and what could end up a Prelim Final or even bigger. That would send Melbourne into a spin with a Syd v Brs GF?
You have to like what Brisbane has done. They looked close to cactus at some stages but with troops back on the park and continuity, the wheel turned and fast.
Added to that was others hitting hurdles and they've jumped into 4th spot a lot faster than anyone could have guessed.
In truth it was a bit of a struggle out West. The Eagles gave them a run for it. They will have to do more this time but Neale is hardly struggling himself.
With the options through their own midfield, Sydney will take a big test up to the Gabba.
They simply loved having Parker and Mills back if for no reason other than even more options through centre bounces.
Mills can go back and Parker forward too so opponents have so many other things to worry about. Oh, and Heeney returns.

| Brisbane has won 2 of last 9 at the Gabba | |||
But with Mills managed and McInerney with Rowbottom out injured, the prospects become tougher. It's Parker and Adams time to say 'we are still here'.
The Sydney outs and the Charlie Cameron 'in' does alter the thinking. Still finding it hard to believe the Swans are the outsiders.
Can't see that happening again this year if they win. Maybe this is the chance to have a go.
Match Selection: Sydney by 3 points
