Think the lions might win also, as essendon played port,st kilda in R1,2 and were beaten easily and the only team of note they have played since then, was the swans, and they were lucky to win. As for bris, they played the swans in R1 and beat them, 1pt loss to st kilda[ blind umpire]and their last 2, melb and port have been easy wins. They are beating teams hire up on the ladder, essendon is in form against lower placed teams, so my way of thinking, lions to win, I might be wrong, but i hope i'm not.
