1. This will be the second premiership game played overseas after the Sydney Swans’ win over St Kilda in Wellington in round five, 2013.2. The Lions’ plight this season can be summed up by the fact they trail in most major statistical categories, with them ranked last in disposals, contested possessions, contested marks, marks inside 50 and inside 50s.3. But when the Lions defeated St Kilda in 2013 they won almost every stat including disposals, marks, tackles, hit-outs, scoring shots and inside 50s.4. Riewoldt played some kind of game in Wellington last year. After dragging Ted Richards everywhere, he was given Heath Grundy as an opponent after half-time and still ended with 27 touches, 13 marks and two goals.5. The Saints haven’t been popular with the umpires in 2014, ranked 15th for free kicks.6. Jack Steven remains the best placed from both sides in the Official AFL Player Ratings despite missing the first three rounds.
